Have a look at ClipPut() and ClipGet().

This would be the simplest way.

$Result = ControlGetText ('Calculator','','Edit1')
MsgBox (0, 'Test','Result : ' & $Result)

This will return the text of the "result edit" in windows calculator.

Also, If you're trying to automate calculator to get the answer to some sort of math problem you can also do this :

; * = Multiply, / = Divide, + = Add, - = Subtract
MsgBox (0, 'Example 1','2 + 2 = ' & Execute (2 + 2)); 2 plus 2
MsgBox (0, 'Example 2','4 - 2 = ' & Execute (4 - 2)); 4 minus 2
MsgBox (0, 'Example 3','4 / 2 = ' & Execute (4 / 2)); 4 divided by 2
MsgBox (0, 'Example 4','2 x 2 = ' & Execute (2 * 2)); 2 times 2
MsgBox (0, 'Example 5','((2 + 2) x 3) / 2 = ' & Execute (((2+2) * 3) / 2)); sum of 2 plus 2 times 3 divided by 2 which is acutally 12 / 2

Hope this helps!
