How do I retrieve text from a combobox within an application running
on my system using Windows Messages?
I have a third party application with a text box that is constantly
being updated from the internet. I want to retrieve that text into my
app and filter it.
I have been playing around with Spy++...but I need to have that
'Eureka' moment when I get how to use the information it supplies.
My guess so far :
1) Find the window somehow
2) Find the textbox/combobox/listbox somehow
3) read the messages being received and sent from it
4) retrieve the ones I want and ....Bob's your Aunties live in lover..
I can manually find the window and control in Spy++, and I can see the
messages with my eyes, but not with my app.
Any help, even if it's...go buy a book you moron...would be
appreciated.
