Reading text from external window

[drahneir]

I have an external Windows program which I use frequently.
There are some controls on the window of that program, but EnumChildWindows() gives no result.
And when I explore the window with an analyze program, in my case 'Windowse', there is also no child window.
So it's obvious, that the program isn't developed under Windows.
But I want to have access to the data which are contained in some of the controls
Is there a way to read text from that window?

Hi drahneir,

Can you see if my Shellhook (Window Watcher) program picks anything up?

Run wwatcher.exe first before opening the "external Windows program", it's not necessary but it should capture more events.

@JHPJHP
Thanks for your reply.
When the external window is open, WWatcher shows the data of the window.
The only event WWatcher reacts on is when a subwindow is opened and closed.
