Hello, How difficult is it to write an interface for my program to control another application? IE a piece of code that catches other programs' text and graphical output and converts that to a workable format for my core program? I intend to write a bot for an Internet game which uses a client stored on my PC. However, I don't really have much experience with the Win32 API and would really appreciate some hints and pointers (no pun intended) to get me started. I already received some good help in response to my earlier post, but I'm looking for as many approaches possible to help me better understand the whole problem. Thanks in advance, Eric
