Text Boxes!

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.

Code:

---

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
