No...no...NO!

Re-read my message. If it was unclear, what I want to do is be able to log (record) text being written to a chat window from another app. NOT log key strokes. For example, how could I progmatically record an AIM chat conversation from my app?

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds a lot like something that has been very very deliberately left out of any API...

I want to write an app that I'd like to have "hook" into a text box in Safari and log your IDs, passwords, and bank account status.

Thanks

Hi all,

I've only been developing using Xcode for about 5 weeks now (long- time Windows programmer). I am attempting to write a Cocoa app that I would like to have "hook" into a text chat window from another app so that I can log the incoming messages. The other app does not belong to my app.

If anyone could point me to some help topics on how this can be accomplished I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
- Don
