nano shared a great way to read a SysListView control in an external program. Now I am looking for a way to read the column headings on an external SysListView control. I am using VB 2005. Does anyone have a solution to read the column headings?

Thanks

do you want to read external listview header label
are you able to read it in local process with api win32 imported function

to read external process memory is the same way as you can see to get external listview item.

1- allocate memory space in external process
2- write memory to the memory space allocated
3- read back from external memory into local memory
you done

btw I never try to get listview column header. so I dont have any code already cooked

try to do your test in local process first and if it's all ok then you can go with external process; that's my method to try some new thing

nano thanks for the reply... i have not been able to figure out how to use windows api to read the header information (yes i do mean the column label when it is shown as list or detail view). if you have any insight, i would be very greatful if you would share it.
