Matt
What if the Manufacturer of that third party software changes their
layout? or changes TStatusBar to TEnhancedStatusBar, then your code stops
working.
Hell we work with that everyday, its one of the joys of working with
Microsoft, There
are no guarantees
Matt.
Yes you are correct, you will need either the class name OR the name of
the
control.
So, to do that, you use something like Spy++ which comes with Visual
Studio,
or download for free windose from Greatis software which will give yo
that
information.
Trust me, this definitly works on NON Delphi apps too..... The getting
info
from controls on a non delphi app. that is.

Correct me if I am wrong it's been a while, but you require the windows
class name in order to use FindWindowsEx ?
Your two calls use 'TfmMain' and 'TStatusbar' which are Delphi specific.
It's worthwhile keeping this in mind when thinking about 'ANY browser
and
ANY app'
Your code won't work for any browser consistently.
Only way you can achieve that is by using a common interface.
Of course if you know the application you are wanting to connect to and
can
determine these classnames then you don't have to worry.
Matt.

Nope, not at all. If you LOOK at the code you will seeit uses
"FindWindowEx"
to find a child control. It could be a VB textbox for all it cares.
Infact, I have uses FindWindowEx to actually access a disabled textbox
ina
vb app, and change it to being enabled....so I could copy the text from
it
and paste it into my delphi app....cost I can nearly ALWAYS find a
hack...hehhehe
Jeremy p.s Matt, you firndigtal.com email bounced back when I
replied.

" It also means that Phil can support ANY browser, or ANY app. That has

That was written in Delphi ? :)

Did ANYONE apart from Phil take a look at the code I supplied??
My function does it is a LOT less complex manner that some of the ideas
suggested thus far.
It also means that Phil can support ANY browser, or ANY app. That has a
statusbar.

Why don't you use automation to get access to the browser application
object. From there you can use the HTML Dom to get access to the status
bar
text.

A webapp running in IE put text in the status bar that I would dearly
like to snaffle into another running application. Statusbar I think is
a wincontrol so could be possible. Anyone with bright ideas on
discovering it?
