Screen Scraping

[Moley]

Does anyone know how to program an application (c or c# preferably) that can hook into other windows and scan the contents for strings?

If anyone can point me to some source code I would be most appreciative.

You could use some OCR if the strings are always located in the same location on the screen? In which case you could try tesseract-ocr.

I guess you are trying to do some sort of poker-client scraper. See ->
