Intercept windows messages to another apps window

KlassifiedBBS

I want to create a game bot for a video chat program with a closed API. I
can see the windows messages when I hook up Spy++ to the window in
question. I have done numerous Googles for some kind of example in C# code
to no avail.

Can someone point me to someplace with a little information how to do this?

I would like to know how to hook into the message stream and capture the
messages sent to that window. Like when When I attach Spy++ to the chat
window and see all the windows messages scroll by,

It would save quite a bit of my time if there was some information about
which messages are the actual alpha characters. The window in question
is a RichText box, and it has character formatting in the stream. Trial
and error in figuring out the actual text would seem to be a long
tedious process.

I want the bot to post a "question" in one window, and watch another
window for the correct answer.

I kind of have the post to one window covered but it is in old vb6. Any
dotnet help appreciated

have a look on msdn for Windows hooks,
there is no managed api so you will have to use PInvoke

how can i intercept messages

by: Todd Smith | last post by:

I've read about Browser Helper Objects and how they load in a dll with IE and can intercept messages and change things. I've got a neat idea for a change to the icq interface, but I don't want to write a whole new app. Ideally, (if it worked like a BHO), I could have a dll installed that would load with icq and interecept messages, so instead of the icq window popup, something else would happen. Also, people could keep their icq...

It seems that Ctrl-N in Mozilla opens a new empty browser window. That's fine, I don't need to do anything about it. But Ctrl-N in IE appears to clone the current window. Is there a way to intercept the key so that I can do stuff on the server side to make the new window behave correctly? (We have a JSP-based webapp which stores state in the session.

Noob question regarding c# and classic windows apps

I was creating test projects using c# and was surprised that there seems to be only a form based windows applications available. Is it safe to assume that classic window applications that utilize a parent window with child windows can only be done in c++ and mfc and there's nothing else in .net that is meant to be used like that? It seems to be that c# should be used for either form based windows apps, console apps, and web apps (also...

Windows Forms apps not "ending" when you close the form window

Hi, I've been having a problem with C++ Windows Forms apps not "ending" when you close the form window.
