getting game data from an online poker site

[jmp85uk]

i have seen a lot of programs that calculate hand analysis and give suggested moves based on how other players bet and what cards come out on flop, turn and river. the best of these actually get the information automatically.

i want to write my own program for this, does anyone know how the data is taken from the game window and into the 3rd party software?

If the interface isn't flash you can use win32 api calls to retrieve text from form controls. Use spy++ to get the name of the control you want to retrieve the text from.

Would give an example but in a rush, this will give you a little direction at least.
