Hello,

Let me say, I've spent the last 2-3 hours going through CodeGuru fourms. I have searched and read many articals (Which is why I am creating a new one, because this based off of many others). Basically, I am looking for the simple way to hook onto another process running on my computer. The closest I have seen to what I want is the poker bot someone was attempting to read the console.

I am sort of doing the same thing, as I said close. Basically, I just need something that hooks onto another process, and uses intercepts the DrawText. (I already know GetWindowText() won't work with the program I am using). Many posts conclude with "I have fixed the issue, or found a solution." but never figured to post the answer, so many of the questions lead to a wall for me. I've spent much time looking at examples, but they all seem to complex. I don't normally write in C++. I have done much in C# and Java and now 3 years into my Computer Science major, so I am not new to programming.

I do not mind reading more, I enjoy reading articals, as long as they are not too complex as I am a beginner on the subject. I appreciate the time you took to read this, and I hope we can get a nice easy tutorial going for the new comers to this catagory.

P.S. If you have time to explain your code or use comments, when people read this, we could eliminate hundreds of "whats the purpose" questions.

Thank you again,

Ken
