Hi all,

I am a newbie and looking forwad to expand my knowledge and help if possible too.

My question,

Is there a way to retrieve/read/get data LABEL (TEXT) displayed on a window. The data is displayed in a label control, not a text control. I guess what I am asking is, can an application read other application's label data displayed on a window? if so, can any one give me a hint on how to do it?

Thanks,

Are you talking about 2 separate apps or on app? if its one app. then you can do it easily. But if its 2 different apps, then its a little tricky. You need to find the handle of that label control. And then using that handle you can use sendmessage to write to that control.

I can help you in doing this if you need further help.
