Correct me if I am wrong it's been a while, but you require the windows class name in order to use FindWindowsEx ?
Your two calls use 'TfmMain' and 'TStatusbar' which are Delphi specific. It's worthwhile keeping this in mind when thinking about 'ANY browser and ANY app' Your code won't work for any browser consistently. Only way you can achieve that is by using a common interface. Of course if you know the application you are wanting to connect to and can determine these classnames then you don't have to worry.

If you LOOK at the code you will seeit uses "FindWindowEx" to find a child control. It could be a VB textbox for all it cares. Infact, I have uses FindWindowEx to actually access a disabled textbox ina vb app, and change it to being enabled....so I could copy the text from it and paste it into my delphi app....cost I can nearly ALWAYS find a hack...hehhehe Jeremy p.s Matt, you firndigtal.com email bounced back when I replied. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Comb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 July 2007 19:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List' Subject: RE: [DUG] Pulling status bar text off another application " It also means that Phil can support ANY browser, or ANY app. That has a statusbar."

From there you can use the HTML Dom to get access to the status bar text. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Scadden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <delphi@delphi.org.nz> Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 2:57 PM Subject: [DUG] Pulling status bar text off another application >A webapp running in IE put text in the status bar that I would dearly >like to snaffle into another running application.
