Hey, first off, I'd like to say what an amazing piece of software this is, kudos to the developers.

send, I hope this is in the right section, I was first thinking the request page, but your only aloud to post requests for single player cheats there, but since this isn't for cheating or a single player game, I'll post it here

also, I'm not even sure if I even need cheat engine to do this.. anyway's I digress.

I'm trying to make a DLL injector for a poker table to keep track of people's stack sizes, (so with some simple math I can keep track of the bet sizes) I do this already with a pencil and paper, but it makes me very slow to make my move which annoys a lot of people.

using Cheat engine I've figured out the values are stored as a string format (rather then double like I thought) I can also quite easily figure out what location in the window & the handles of such windows. I can also easily find (with cheat engine) where the string is stored in the memory for that instance. but as soon as you switch windows, or close/re-open the window that location changes.

how can I program a DLL to automatically find Where the String is located so I can read it with my program? (I'll be using C++ since that's the language I'm most familiar with)

note: I tried finding pointers to it via "find what accesses this address" but no real luck.

hopefully that made sense.

thank you in advance, and thank you for reading all of this, it's a bit more wordy then I thought it would be.

Beat cheat engine tutorial step 8 using the method described here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jxZ4FcEC9w (pointerscanner). Manually finding a pointer via "find out what..." is simply impractical in most cases.

Then use the pointerscanner to find a pointer to your string. Once you've got a pointer that always works in cheat engine, right off the bat, without any scanning, implement in your dll a code that will walk the pointer path (ReadProcessMemory, add constant to the result, ReadProcessMemory again, add another constant, etc... or direct memory access since it's an injected dll).

Yes you should use the pointer scan to find a pointer to the values of interest. The problem is that this might not be possible especially if the client is run in a browser. If it can't be done and you are going to program your own application it might be possible to find the memory range where the strings always exist and then scan automatically in your program.
