I need to create a streaming text capture program for reading an app that uses IE windows. Something I can toggle on to start capturing and toggle off when I want to and then save the text to file. I have no idea of what methods/events to use for this to get the focus of the applications control and capture text as it is posted to the control. It wouldn't be a simple "screenshot" of the control, it needs to be left open and capture text indefinately. The program will be dedicated to a particular app if that makes a difference. Of course I need to figure out the name of the control containing the text too. I've never used the DataObject Viewer so I dont know if that could be used to determine the name of the control. If someone could at least tell me some of these methods I will need to use, or even an example or two, I would be eternally grateful. :) Trying to look thru books for what to use hasn't done me any good as I dont know what methods/events I am looking for.

Thank you for any help on this. :)
