inspect delphi control object without modify source code

I have an Stock program which developed by Delphi, I want a tools which can read the data from the stock program, for example, the stock price in Delphi grid object.

The Stock program under test is close source, so no chance modify source code which QTP/Robot inspector required. I cannot tell out which Delphi version it is using, neither the object is a standard delphi control.

So anyone can tell out is it possible to inspect that delphi program object data through other technology ?

thanks in advance.

  • Trying to read data out of a Delphi grid control is not going to work out for you. It's not like a standard Windows edit control which you could just call GetWindowText on.

    If you really want to get the information from this existing program then you'd need to poke at its internal memory or do an OCR on a screen grab. All pretty horrible to contemplate.
