Grab Text from Control during Runtime

[topcat01]

Hi All,

I recently came across a tool called CopyText which copies text from a control such as a listbox, comboboxes etc to the clipboard.

CopyText:

The only problem is that it only seems to work on standard controls and not custom controls.

I want to write a small prog to grab text from string grid controls (standard and custom controls), is this possible?

Screen capture software seems to fail, particularly when for example a stringgrid stretches beyond the length & width of the screen (vertical *and* horizontal scroll capture is required and no program seems to handle that well).

Are there any other methods out there that will help???

if you are familiar with api routines you can use them to get to your point...

all you need is to get handle of the object on a window and get message from that handle...

if you want some tutorials I can provide...
