O.P. Text extraction from a Window?
Hi folks,

I'm writing a shell jscript for WSH and want to know if it's possible to extract the text in child controls from other Windows applications that are running. Some examples would be obtaining the text from a button in a dialog box, reading the text values from the nodes in a treeview or combobox, etc.

Enumerating existing processes is the first step, which i've done, now i want to dig down into those processes...

Ideas?
