LISTING SWING COMPONENTS FROM A DIFFERENT APPLICATION

Hello,

I am developing an application where I need to get a second application already running (a third party application) and list its components. If the application is done with AWT JNI could can be used, but obviously, since SWING is a lightweight component, won抰 be listed using this method.

An application can list its own components doing something like this.list() or doing this.getComponents() . I would like to do the same for a third party application.

Is it possible? Any clue? Thnks

screen scraping, maybe... Sounds like a very hacker thing to ask, though.

Thks for your answer. It sounds like, but it is not. I need to integrate my application with a third party application. There is no way that the owner of the third party application modify it so I need to read the screen and fill information.Thnks
