ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for and method of acquiring, processing and routing data contained in a graphical user interface window. The data contained in a window selected by the user is captured by an acquisition unit and stored in a data buffer. The data, whether string data or bitmapped graphics data, is stored in the data buffer in standard graphical user interface text and/or bitmapped format. A user may designate a portion of the acquired data to be processed by a processor. The processor may utilize one or more processing components to add functionality to an application associated with the graphical user interface window selected by the user. The processed data is then routed to one or more output devices. Output devices may include, for example, files, printers, windows, electronic mail services and operating system temporary buffers. Also disclosed is a method of retrieving the handle of a window from its device context.
