Screen Scraper HELP Required.

Question

Hello,

I am trying to write an application that gets data from a window in another apllication, though i am having a little trouble finding information to guide me. I am using the user32 FindWindow method to get the handle for the window i want data from, but i am having trouble figuring our what to do next. I understand i have to send the WM_GETTEXT message to the window to retrieve some text, but how do i locate the correct child window to send this message to?

I have used spy++ to aid me and noticed that the window i am trying to look at has a different handle in spy++ to the handle returned when i use FindWindow(@"Window title bar text"). Can any one offer me any advice on how to proceed or point me in the direction of a good tutorial that will aid my develepoment?

Thnaks in advance!!
