How can I capture input from another program

[erickwan88]

I want to capture the input from a writing pad and apply in vb2005 but I don't know any programming codes about it.

The writing pad is connected by a USB port.

Before I run the writing pad program, it can be a mouse and move around
double click = normal one click
click twice = normal double click

When I run the writing pad program
Any movement of the pen on the writing pad will only shows in the program and make Chinese words recognition itself. It is a kind of Chinese word input method.

I want to capture this part(link below) in the writing pad program and use it in vb2005 for further development.

Please suggest any ideas or provide some relative codes may help me. I am very urgent. Thanks a lot.

Hi. In order for you to be able to capture data you will need an api. check in your project reference list for a reference to this application. If there is a reference there you can include it in your project and look at the object browser to see what methods you can use.
