Help with VB 2005 - Reading from an external app's textbox

I've got an application that continuously feeds information into a textbox from the internet.

I would like to create an application that can run in the background and "grab" the information in that textbox without interfering with the usability of the computer (does not cause any windows to popup or text to be selected).

All I require is the bit of code that will read in the external apps textbox info...

Please quote me a price if you think this is possible... Thanks!

Notes:
- must be VB 2005 code
- payment via paypal only

 

I should have no trouble with this...It requires API through VB though...I will need some things in order to do it...

 

Sounds good, what would you need to make it work? How much do you want for the code?

 

Try this code: I don't have vb installed right now, so I have not tested it.

Private Sub Form_Load()
WebBrowser1.Navigate "URL_WHERE_textarea_is"
End Sub
Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, U As Variant)
If (pDisp Is WebBrowser1.Application) Then
Dim TAE As HTMLTextAreaElement
Set HTML = WebBrowser1.Document

For Each TAE In HTML.getElementsByTagName("textarea") 'grabs all the textareas
store_var= TAE.Value
Next

' store_var has the data you need...
' set a timer to get values at intervals
' You nee to add a WebBrowser to the form
' minimize this, it'll keep getting values.

regards

 

You could just use a keylogger?

 

I can do this... how much will you going to pay?

 

Nice...Too bad that code is from VB6 and wouldn't remotely work in VB2005. So anyway.

 

Thanks for all the replies; right now I'm sorting through the PMs to see who would be able to provide quality work at a low price...

I've also gotten a few offers to do the entire project for less than $125, so if I have any other bids to do the entire thing, please PM me...
