1.SMTP 2.Access to Edit fields 3.Book

Posted by Bernie Siegrist on 1999-07-25

1. Is there any application that would use the SMTP command VRFY (to verify
a given address)? How likely is it that this function will be abused by
spammers to "verify" their victims? Would you implement it?

2. According to MS, the function GetWindowText is not able to retrieve the
text of an Edit field that is owned by another process. How would I gain
access to such an edit field? (My solution so far: Find the process and
attach a thread to it that reads the text and sends it to my window. Fails
since Win95 doesn't know VirtualAllocEx-->no memory for the thread. Any
ideas?)

3. I've just got a new job (starts at Aug 16) where I'll have to deal with
database programming. I know the basics but would like to learn more. Any
of you know of a good book (German preferred, English okay)?

Thanks in advance!
