What i want to be able to do is interact with programs (like AIM) and get data from it. For example I want to be able to check my buddy list and log every time someone comes on the list and record it in my program. Is there a way to do this? Like i could check it every 5 minutes or so to see if someone is online or not. IS there a way for me to interact in this way with this and other programs?
All help is appreciated, little or a lot
thanks

Ok yea, it is POSSIBLE, very possible, first thing that you really need is some kinda SPY program to get Handle numbers and stuff like that from your AIM windows, it involves learning the API funtions, FindWindow, FindWindowEx and SendMessage... A really GOOD BAS FILE if you can find it is "Dos 32" if you find that file, it has many funtions to interact with AIM and AOL... you can learn a lot from the help file they provide, I really don't want to get into detail on this, I could write a whole tutorial on this to explain to people about different stuff they can do, for example here's something I did with AIM, I made my own Chat program that used AIM, whatever I typed it used my AIM WINDOW (which was already open in the background) and sent the chat text to the other guy and then whatever he typed, I got it in my own Chat window... think of the possibilities.... :) LOOK FOR AIM BAS FILES or AOL BAS FILES in altavista, you should find some good examples..
anychance you would send me the code that you used for that program? my email is [email protected], thanks
Well I wrote that code 3 or 4 months ago, but if I get the time I'll post (and email) you a simple example of how to do something with AIM window...
thanks that would help alot, also if you know of any tutorials that would help me with interacting. thansk again
