Detecting when a RIch Text box changes text!

[Koya]

Please help me with this,

I am trying to detect if an EXTRENAL rich text box (in another application that is) has changed text (ie, text was added or removed from it)... I just need my application to be notified immediately of this change so i can act upon it.

Is there ANY way I can get this to work???

I tried everything, from subclassing to crapy parser code that was too slow and didn't do what I wanted it to.

What I need to do is moniter when I text comes in a chat window, I need to retrieve the new text quickly before someone else writes something else in the chat window. I need a way so I can inturput the text change event!

I read that this is not possible. I don't beliebe it! ANY ANY help will do. I tried intucepting the en_change message and nothign seems to trigger correctly!

HELP please

Hay,

well, I was not able to retirve the correct message that tells me that the Rich text Box has changed!

Is there a way to do this! What is the correct message to inturcept. Maybe I am doing it all wrong (but I doubt it)...

Try using WM_CHAR.
