GetText method
Available for Window, MDIWindow, DialogBox, Static, Edit, Group, Button, Check, and Radio objects.
Prototype
GetText Proto hWnd:HWND, lpszBuffer:LPSTR
Syntax
Invoke GetText, hWnd, lpszBuffer
Function
Gets the Text property for an object.
Parameters
hWnd
Handle to the object.
lpszBuffer
Pointer to a buffer to receive the text for the object.
Return value
Eax returns the length, in characters, for the text of the object.
NOTE: For Window, MDIWindow and
DialogBox objects this method copies the text of its caption (title bar) to the specified buffer, while
for control objects it copies the text shown in the client area of the control. The buffer pointed by
lpszBuffer must be large enough to contain the text of the object (max. 256
characters).
REMARKS: The GetText
method fills lpszBuffer with a Unicode string if the application is running as Unicode,
or with an ANSI string if not (see the IsAppUnicode
method). You can call GetTextA to get the ANSI text in Unicode
applications, or GetTextW to get the Unicode text in ANSI
applications.
