How to "listen" for text changes in a particular part of a window.
Is it possible with c# to recognize if a text changes in a particular part of a window. eg. a rectangle in the upper right corner of the window.
I´m thinking about something like telling the application to notice changes in a rectangle (eg. 10x2 cm).
If changes are notice the application should copy the text to a variable.
Can you help me?

The text is in a flash application, so I guess (I dont know) I cant access any controls.
The text is changing by itself when news is recieved from a server.
I would like to get a notice on my screen when the text is changing. (eg. a messagebox showing the text that changed), but that I can do myself.
I just have no idea how to 1. let my application know when the text changes. 2. copy the text.
By the way: the text is not like an animation. It can be highlighted with the mouse and copy/pasted (maybe that makes a difference?)

Can you modify the Flash application?
If so you should probably put code in it to notify the checking application.

Unfortunately I cannot modify the flash application.
I guess the only choice is to make c# "listen" to change in the way the screen looks. Is that possible in any way?
