Monitoring one program with another....

[OrthoDocSoft]

Folks,

Is there a way to write a program that can "watch" what another program is doing, or more specifically, what the user is doing with the program, and then do events accordingly? I know this sounds like a keylogging program, and to some extent it is, but I'm not talking about covert/surreptitious activities, but rather desired/legitimate ones.

Thanks,

Ortho

Are you talking about CBT stuff? There are a few CBT callbacks which can be accessed from C so they should be accessible from VB as well.

Maybe a workaround could be having the first prog writing a logfile.
Second prog: As soon as the logfile changes, read it, analyse log entry, Do whatever needed, clear logfile, wait for next change.

Or did I get it wrong?


Kind regards
Mirko

CBT Callbacks are definitely accessible from VB. Check this: thread222-1407322
