Trying to get MSN Messenger Text

How can I get the Text that a user sent to me in MSN Messenger... I got the handle of Messenger but I cant get the text they sent out of it. Please Help!

If you already have the handle of the window then:

VB Code:

Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" _ 
Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As _ 
Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
Public Declare Function SendMessageByString Lib "user32" _ 
Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As _ 
Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As String) As Long
 
Public Const WM_GETTEXT = &HD
Public Const WM_GETTEXTLENGTH = &HE
 
Public Function GetText(Window As Long) As String
'Gets any text from a window
Dim Cursor As String, Text As Long
Text& = SendMessage(Window&, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, 0&, 0&)
Cursor$ = String(Text&, 0&)
Call SendMessageByString(Window&, WM_GETTEXT, Text& + 1, Cursor$)
GetText$ = Cursor$
End Function

this is the code im using.......

TheNum = HScroll1.Value
Instant% = lsthandle.List(TheNum)

Win% = GetWindow(Instant%, GW_CHILD)

Do
Text2$ = GetClass(Win%)
If Text2$ = "RichText20A" Then Exit Do
Win% = GetWindow(Win%, GW_HWNDNEXT)
Loop Until Win% = 0

Text& = SendMessage(Win%, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, 0&, 0&)
Cursor$ = String(Text&, 0&)
Call SendMessageByString(Win%, WM_GETTEXT, Text& + 1, Cursor$)
Messages.Text = Cursor$



I have my program look for all the instant messages and put them in a listbox. THen i fix it so that whichever one i want the text from i move the scroll bar to the number in the listbox and click get message and this is the get message command_click

But it doesn't get any messages... it just sits there.... Messages.Text is a richtext box also....... can someone help me?

Private Sub Msg_OnTextReceived(ByVal pIMSession As Messenger.IMsgrIMSession, _
ByVal pSourceUser As Messenger.IMsgrUser, ByVal bstrMsgHeader As String, ByVal bstrMsgText As String, _
pfEnableDefault As Boolean)

'Do Stuff Here
'bstrMsgText is the text received.

End Sub

Dont you need the reference to MSN object Library?

Well duhhhhh, yeah. Sorry somehow i assumed you had that already. Just goto Project > References and add Messenger Type Library and that should do it.

is there anyway, to Set the text inside a windows instead of "get the text" ?

This might give you a few ideas.
