Need Help

[Century]

I know basic VB, but i need to make a program that will interact with another program, i.e. read text of a screen then input and send text through a textbox. does anyone have advice on where i should start, like what to read, what things to learn, etc? Thanks.

The easiest method of interaction between 2 exe's is to use winsock with UDP protocol. Try searching MSDN. There is a ready meade example given using winsock for sending text written in one app. to another.

ok, i found the winsock control and set it to udp protocol, but nothing on the MSDN makes sense for how i want to use it, any more advice? or am i just a retard?

Type "Using the Winsock Control" in MSDN Search and thats the topic where the entire code is given.

If both programms will be written by you then COM/DCOM interface is the way to go.
