help with VB!

[muTe]

Hi,

I wanna know if its possible for a VB program to recognize characters written in another program. That would look at a caption of another program (not coded by me), and save it as a string.

Thank you

Are we talking about a program that is already compiled?? Because if that's the case it would be almost impossible.

If it's not compiled than any 'caption' will have a value that you can find somewhere within the program... in order to actually use it in your program you would have to import code from the other program... which to be honest, I don't know wnough about VB to be able to tell you how to do that.

You should be able to use something like:

Import(SomeProg.vbx);

....

MyCaption.Text = SomeProg.SomeCaption.Text;

or something like that... I'm sure it would be much much more complicated...

My guess is that there is some Windows API call you can use to get the caption of a program (I assume you mean what is written on the top bar). I'll try to pull out my books and look for something.
