Accessing OS data

Hi,

For a game I am developing I would like to capture the native OS data such as texts, icons, windows, before it is displayed on the screen, so that I can alter it. Mainly I am looking for the object itself (e.g. text string), its location, and its properties. Is this possible to do?

Many thanks.

What do you mean with "texts, icons, windows"?

When you look an any given screen there are various texts that are displayed (e.g. menues, titles, and any other text displayed on the screen). I want to be able to capture these texts (created by other applications) before they are sent to the screen and to be able to alter them. Same for icons.

No, this cannot be done in pure Java.

You could try using JNI. You can download the Sun JNI tutorial here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/information/download.htmlDownload the Java Native Interface Archive.
