    Hi Folks,
    With C++, is it possble to read a line of text from an IE window?
    I've sent a command to a server in the address bar of IE, and I've got a single line of text in response - what's the easiest way to import this to a program?

    Any info would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
    S.

    I think you are making this project overly complicated. This is your third post about the project. If you describe the whole project and then ask a specific question you might get more help.

    I think that this post is similar to the earlier one about Opening a web page in C++.
    I think that the Windows Internet functions will help you.

    The HTTP sessions topic seems to demonstrate how to call a URL and read the returned data (all done without opening IE).

    The docs aren't the clearest but I'm sure that you can search the web for example code.
    I have some old code that downloaded a page if you are stuff. IIRC it used these functions, but it's been a while.

    It sounds like you control the URL you are going to call. You could consider not returning any data but return a different HTTP status code instead of true or false. Maybe 200 for true and 204 for false.
