Hi Jackie,
If the purpose is to monitor a particular window for a change in the text it
contains.
A non-frame method which may get you there, is to use a Scheduled function
to continuously cycle checking the text within the window on each cycle.
The previous value of the text is stored in a global variable.
You would need to initiate the process by calling the Window monitoring
function from the AutoStartEvent, & this would also restart the process
after you have Alt tabbed away & back. i e. when the program goes out of
focus & its scripts are unloaded, the ScheduleFunction generally fails.
The Schedule time would depend on how busy everything is, although it
doesn't place much demand on processing, & how long you can wait to be
notified of a change.
For Example:
Globals
STRING GlobalPrevText
Void Function WindowMonitor ()
VAR
STRING NewWindowText
LET NewWindowText = GetTextInWindow (the necessary set of functions to
locate the window)
IF (GlobalPrevText != NewWindowText) THEN
FunctionToDoTheFramesJob () ; announce the change etc
LET GlobalPrevText = NewWindowText
ENDIF; new text in window
ScheduleFunction ("WindowMonitor", 5) ; keep calling it over & over
EndFunction

Paul from Aust

I hit ctrl left bracket twice to make my frame monitor a window. The
dad gum frame is so dependent on position that if the screen isn't
maximized, it won't work. You'd think they could monitor the window
for text changes. Sucks!
Any1 got any ideas about this?
