Screen Scraping 3270 Mainframe Terminal Emulator

Screen Scraping 3270 Mainframe Terminal Emulator

(OP)
Hi All,

I would like to use a VB6  interface as the front end to a 3270 Mainframe Emulator, possibly using DDE or WHLLAPI, (or both!?).

The PC Comms emulator is set up to use DDE, but although I have tried to use the linkmode, linkrequest etc methods in VB, I can not get the two applications to communicate.

Any tips, source code, useful sites to view, etc would be appreciated.

Many thx in anticipation
Derrick

Have you figured this out yet?  If not, I may be able to help.  I've done this with VB6 and a terminal emulator in the past.
