I need to extract all text from all windows open on desktop. With windows application it is relatively easy to get this working i.e. using SendMessage + WM_GETTEXT.

But this technique does not work with Java applications. Is there a way to extract text from Java applications or is it a wild goose chase?

@user544550 Good day. Did you find out how to do this? – Dmitry Zagorulkin Aug 27 '12 at 09:56
Perhaps you could add a listener to each text field you create in the app. When you trigger it, it'll gather all the data of its field. – Daniel Kaplan Dec 18 '12 at 21:58
