Hi

Can I get other process UI data like edit box string or combo box index ?

And is it possible to get other app client screen pixels data ?

Thank you .

You can use WM_PRINT and WM_PRINTCLIENT messages for that. Read
abouth these messages in MSDN. Also, this article may be helpful:

Just send a WM_GETTEXT message to the edit box, and you will get its string.
For the comobox index, you can send a WM_COMMAND message with a CB_* wParam,
I think.

For other messages that don't marshal string data across process boundaries
(so you can't SendMessage and get a result without crashing), you can use my
SendMessageRemote() function, as Joe says. It is discussed at
