Hi guys,

I was looking into HiChatter software ... looking for a way to get the HiChatter text chat in the room ... has anyone done it yet ???

I don't care if code is in C++, C#, VB6, or VB.NET ....

I'm familiar with all of them.

the problem is hi-chatter is written in delphi and uses a paintpanel control to show the text in the rooms, it actually paints the text, now you could always collect the info by sniffing the packets but then I have already checked the incomming text and its either encrypted or in some other format for the paintpanel to paint, meaning its unreadable, out going text is readable tho', I will have to look into more to find out just how the incomming text is done, if its just bytes thats used to paint the text on the paintpanel control we dont stand a chance but if its encrypted text then we could possiably decrypt it make some sort of text out of it ready to be processed. he was very smart when he made hi-chatter and its not an easy one to do.

I thought you can highlight the text and copy ...
If the text has been converted to image (paint) then we won't be able to do this.

It must be i in the container somehow.
