Need some programing help

[Ironside]

Hello all, i've been making programs in VB, c++, batch (mostly VB tho), then i was wondering:

in VB i can easily let's say write this:

Dim a As String = Textbox1.Text

well, then i was thinking i'd like to make it so that it would set it to the Warcraft3 chat box (the one where you type in)
How could i do a program in VB that checks if someone types something specific in warcraft3 that then it would save the messege writen, and say back " A player has typed" + the text he wrote...

Ofcorse the program is on at that time already, just as an event: someone writes something specific , let's say "Hi" and then it would say back "A player has said Hi"


Hope i make sense :S

Thanks in advice

You can't detect that with external programs (maybe with some uber hacking if you ask mindworx), but why don't you just use jass?

You would need to inject a DLL (or raw code) into the process' memory. It isn't trivial.

Oh, and VB is total meh.

banlist also checks if something is typed

Bah, VB sucks in that kind of stuff. Its capabilities are extremely limited when it comes to interfering with other apps. However, check this out. It might help.

No it doesn't help much anyway, seems he just wants to write to notepad, wich i know how to aswell. The problem is at checking if someone wrote something specific, but i could do that too in VB, if it was inside a textbox or richtextbox, but here it even harder, since that coulden't be used this time.
