Hey guys,
I'm trying to create a program that gets text from inside the Pandora Radio desktop application. For a little background information, I have a tendency to want to write down the name of songs and artists that I like, and it can get time consuming. So what I came up with was an application to take a screen shot of the pandora radio application and save it. This really would suffice but I can't help it wonder if there is a way to get the text out of the program, parse it, and place it in my own database. Before I go on, I want to ask if it's even possible? I have quite an understanding of what I'll need to do, but am I wasting my time for trying or could I actually get somewhere? I've gone through hundreds of web sites trying to find information on getting text, enumerating through child windows(controls too), even pulled out my api book. So far there really isn't much information on what I want. I honestly can't tell what kind of container the control that holds the text is either. Any who all information would be appreciated. Thank you.
