I need to take the number that irfanview (a windows app
distributed without sources) displays to the left of
properties on top toolbar, and make it available via an HTTP
request. I've got the HTTP request figured out (use
HTTP::Daemon), but :
How do I get the current value of the text?
Do I have to get the widgets handle for that? How would I
get it, and once I have it, how do I use it to retrieve
current value?
If the irfanview data you need is an actual windows control, then you will
be able to get the information. You have to get the handle then use
Win32-GUI functions to read the data.
Getting the handle will be the "hard" part. There are a couple of functions
in Win32::GUI::Test that should help with that.
Cheers,
