Hi All,
I've got an application that does a lot of processing and calculating on my
machine. I've started rewriting it in .NET 2, but it's taking longer than
expected (new features being discovered/invented)!
An immediate requirement is to add logging to disk, and my app is quite a
way off. Is threre any way I can "read" from the forms of other windows apps
with C#?
The data I want to grab and write to disk is already in what looks like a
textbox, so I assume it's there somewhere in memory, even if the textbox
isn't drawn by windows. I don't know what the application is written in
(certainly not .NET) and I don't have the source code. It's running on my
own machine, so if my .NET app launching the older app makes things easier,
that's entirely possible (maybe as a child process, there's more
flexibility?).
Am I clutching at straws, and would this be stupid and unsafe if possible,
or is there a way to do what I want in .NET?
Thanks,
Danny Tuppeny
