Post by Adrianrff »

Is there a way to intercept Windows 10 banners and read/register its info? I want to set up a macro that sends the info on this banners to my phone.

Thanks in advance.

I would have to do some research to see if EG could interact with the messages. I am sure it can but I would need to see what is involved

i am still doing some reading. but from what i have read so far is that there is no API for retrieving other applications messages from the WNS (Windows Notification Service). but i am not saying it can't be done. i am going to have to run some tests to see if maybe something like the processwatcher plugin spits out an event if a notification comes up. otherwise we may have to set a thread in motion that looks for a specific window and might possibly be able to get the information that way.
