Using vb.net to read and write text from one application to another.
Is there a way in vb.net to read the text from another applications text box? Then write text to another applications text box. I want to run my application and populate a text box in my application with text from another applications text box when my application gets focus.
I then want to populate another applications text box from my application when an accept button is pressed.
Is it possible to get the handle of a window if I know the windows title bar text?

Can you rephrase your question, please. You should especially explain, how much automation vs. user interaction should be involved.

Yes, that isn't a big problem, I can fairly easily click the mouse onto another app from mine, copy the text and paste it to aanother apps window. (in other words the user determines which app/textboxs).
The however is how will you determine which app and which text box?
