Hi:
I have a programming task that sounds very difficult and would appreciate any suggestions.
I have a 3rd party application, which displays variable graphical information. In other words, the user can execute some menu commands and scroll the screen to display a section of the graphics.
I have another application, which I have the source for and I want to create an activeX control (and embed in this app) that displays the graphical information from the third party application. I must be able to specify in the activex control, which page or index it will display the graphics for. I'm thinking that I can programmatically send a sequence of menu commands, with parameters for the index or page to the third party app and then do a screen capture of the contents and display in the activex control.
The third party application does not provide any api's that I can use, so this is a last resort method. Any suggestions? Thanks.
