Hello, I can get text (like a caption, or text from a textbox) from a
given window of a program outside my program using WINAPI functions, but
how does one get items in a Treeview in another program?

Also, this same program I'm trying to "hook" pops up little message
boxes that I'm trying to intercept and get the text from, but I'm a
little stuck on the interception part. Only way I can think of is
running a loop or a timer with FindWindow seeing is one of these little
windows is present?

Is there any way to "hook" a program so you can capture events? I want
to be able to know when the foreign Treeview changes and also when a
message window pops up. I would like to do this in the most efficient
way.

Thank you very much for any help with this.
