Hello,
I'm using office 2016.
I want excel or work to access a window in a (probably) .Net / Visual C++ program which contains a very large 6 column listbox.
This listbox is *very* slow to load, contains non confidential info ( company names / telephone numbers ) and has zero search function. The list is over 1200 rows long, and changes every month or so.
I have a javascript dynamic table I have written, and I want to extract the listbox data and put it into the javascript table for ease of access and autocomplete search.
I know from some VBA programing I did 15 years ago, this could be achieved using API calls. ( analysing the window element hierarchy ).
I was hoping for some pointers for 2018 - is there a better / simpler way to do this ?
Any help appreciated :)
