I need to scrape data from a Reflection for IBM session (TN3270 -- terminal emulator).
Screen Scrape is the ability to capture a selection of text from a legacy screen.
The only problems is that our client is using a Citrix ICA Server as an application server which sends the Reflection application on our workstations - Thin Client.
If you can think of it as a PC Anywhere type of session, it may help.
The terminal emulator (Reflection for IBM) does not reside on our workstation. It is neither installed on our hard-drives nor on our servers.
Our client is giving us a Citrix ICA Connection, and through that connection (an icon) it facilitates the log in and activates this terminal emulator.
This is where I'm stumped. Without having an application resident, I cannot create an object and use any of it's methods or functions.
Is there a workaround for this?
Are there any API calls that I can use?
I'm experimenting with GetWindowsText API and I can get the window handle of this session. But, I don't know what to do next.
Thanks in advance...
