Text Boxes!

[Mine_23]

Hello;
Suppose I have a text box in a form not in my Project and it has a password char and I know it's handle. how to get the password behind the mask! (using API)

I had tried the EM_GETLINE message but I got a critical error, why?

Use the GetwindowText function.

Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim sText As String * 255
Dim iLength As Integer
iLength = GetWindowText(MyTextBox.hWnd, sText, 255)
'Trim the string
sText = Left(sText, iLength)

MsgBox sText
End Sub
