How to get text from Yahoo! Messenger Window ?

[Nevercom]

Hi folks,

I was wondering if it's possible to get text from Y! Messenger Window, Actually to monitor new PMs.

I tried "ControlGetText" and "WinGetText" functions, but it didn't work, maybe its because Y! messenger's Control is a custom made Control...!?

So, is there anyway to somehow monitor the Y! Messenger ang get new PMs ?

As a matter of fact, I wanna run functions in AutoIt, when an Special Keyword (PM) is sent to Y! Messenger...

Thank you all.

Have you tried the AU3Info tool?

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, I tried to obtain Control's ID by AU3Info tool, But it didn't detected its ID, so i tried to get info by Other Info that AU3Info tool gave me:

Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1)
$var = ControlGetText("[CLASS:ATL:007C07F0]", "", "[CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server; INSTANCE:1]")
MsgBox(0, "Text read was:", $var)

and

$text = WinGetText("[TITLE:Nevercom (mailnevercom); CLASS:Internet Explorer_Server]", "")
MsgBox(0, "Text read was:", $text)

but no progress !

I thought it might be done Using "_WinAPI_SetWindowsHookEx"function, but i have no idea how to use it or even should i use It ?

Thanks in Advance.

maybe try IE functions? that is the same type of class information you get from an IE window.
