Jeremy,
I know you can do it. I did it before for reading of the captions from a
descendant of a treeview component embedded in IE. The problem is I do not
remember how I did it.
All I remember is that I read the coordinates of mouse pointer on the screen
and then, I believe, I had to calculate the rectangle area from which I
needed to read the text.
But have a look at ClientToScreen and ScreenToClient for a start.
I could probably dig up some old code. Tell me if you need it (it would have
to be tomorrow).
Best regards,
Sergei
