Extracting text from a third party program
Hi all,
I want to extract text from a chat window in a poker client. This is acceptable by the client (Pokerstars) so in no way illegal.
However, I've been struggling with this.
So
far I've tried WM_GETTEXT, finally got that working on some test
applications (I tried getting the value from Calculator, Notepad) etc
and could return the correct values. When running it on the Pokerstars
client I recieve blank text. I've now aware that this is because it is
not a Windows control.
I don't really think an OCR route will help and I think hooking (if that's what it is) will give me the same results as above.
Any other suggestions? Thanks! :)
