Reading and changing text from whatever richtext in any app currently has focus
Reading and changing text from whatever richtext in any app currently has focus
I was just sending an email to somebody in outlook express and I was thinking it would be superb if I could press Alt+F9 or something (hooked with a global atom), and my program would then get a handle to the control that currently had focus (which is a richtext box in OE), read the text, encrypt it using a "character-friendly" encryption algo such as PC1 (which outputs like "askletjasdjel"), and then write the new encrypted text into the richtext box. I could just about do this myself if it was a standard textbox, but the richtext is throwing me off ... ideas anyone? (is this possible?)
I will give US$64million to anyone who can point me in the right direction or provide demo source. (Conditions apply).
