Capture FileSaveAs Dialog Box of a 3rd part application

[Diggs]

Hi,

I have a 3rd party quote display application which does not supports OLE automation.I need to get the data displayed in its window.It does supports saving current data to desktop in csv files.
Approach: i am planning to use sendkyes to that appliction and generate csv file.The application generates a filesaveas dialog box which has a default name.i can give furhter sendkeys to save the file and then import.

AA)Since i need to continuosly do same so that i can get the data in nearly real time, i need to know if there is a way we can capture this fileSaveAs dialog box being passed on to OS. so that writing data to hdd can be avoided and the csv file is directly imported to my application.

BB)Is there any way we can capture text displayed in the main window directly like using getwindowtext or sumthing.

CC) any suggestion for a diff approach.

Thanx!

Each window has its own window procedure attached, in which we receive notifications either from other windows, operating system, or even from its own child controls and if required, we send messages at certain point to manipulate windows.

Use that window's message to capture.

Not sure about my solution. Jus try and get back if u find any problem.

Thanks.
