Hi all first time poster on this forum, newbie C++ programmer in training and in need of some help. I made a frankenstien from projects i've found here and there to test the function WM_GETTEXT to get the ie addy bar and save to test.txt. The source compiles like a charm, however it doesnt work. And im staining myself to try and figure out the problem. Heres the code i've came up with: Code: #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <fstream.h> HWND out; char strm[300]; BOOL CALLBACK SearchProc(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam) { int nLen = GetWindowTextLength(hWnd); LPSTR ie = new CHAR[nLen + 1]; GetWindowText(hWnd, ie, nLen+1); if(strstr(ie, "Internet Explorer")!=NULL) if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RETURN)) { ofstream out; out.open("test.txt",ios::app); out << strm; out.close(); } return TRUE; } BOOL CALLBACK SearchProc2(HWND handle, LPARAM lparam) { bool done; done=true; char stre[300]; char serv[300]="Edit"; char ter[100]; char more[300]; HWND hold; hold=handle; int yr=GetClassName(hold,stre,254); int erw=SendMessage(out,LB_GETCOUNT,0,0); int rt=SendMessage(hold,WM_GETTEXTLENGTH,0,0)+1; int kj; if(strstr(stre,serv)!=NULL) SendMessage(out,WM_GETTEXT,rt,(LPARAM)(LPCSTR)strm); if(rt>1) for(kj=0;kj<erw;kj++) { itoa(kj,ter,10); SendMessage(hold,kj,LB_GETTEXT,(LPARAM)(LPCSTR)more); break; } if(strstr(more,strm)!=NULL) done=false; if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RETURN)) if(done==true) if(strstr(strm,"http:")!=NULL) SendMessage(out,LB_ADDSTRING,254,(LPARAM)(LPCSTR)strm); else if(strstr(strm,"https:")!=NULL) SendMessage(out,LB_ADDSTRING,254,(LPARAM)(LPCSTR)strm); return TRUE; } int main(int argc, char **argv) { EnumWindows(SearchProc, NULL); return 0; } The objectives are: find the window, then save the string of the address bar in test.txt to keep the program running until i close it manually Its doing neither and im stressing terribly. Any help with my code? I'd be very appreciative, thanx in advance!
