    2. Private Const WM_GETTEXT          As Long = &HD
    3. Private Const WM_GETTEXTLENGTH    As Long = &HE
    4.  
    5. Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, _
    6.                                                                      ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Integer
    7. Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As Integer, _
    8.                                                                          ByVal hWnd2 As Integer, _
    9.                                                                          ByVal lpsz1 As String, _
    10.                                                                          ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Integer
    11. Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, _
    12.                                                                        ByVal wMsg As Integer, _
    13.                                                                        ByVal wParam As Integer, _
    14.                                                                        ByVal lParam As String) As Integer
    15. Private Sub Form_Load()
    16.  
    17. Dim hwndl       As Integer
    18. Dim hwndEx     As Integer
    19. Dim intlen     As Integer
    20. Dim buffer     As String
    21.  
    22.     hwndl = FindWindow("Notepad", vbNullString)
    23.     'gets handle of 'edit' area of notepad
    24.     hwndEx = FindWindowEx(hwndl, 0, "edit", vbNullString)
    25.  
    26.     intlen = SendMessage(hwndEx, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, 0, vbNullString)
    27.    
    28.     buffer = Space$(intlen)
    29.    
    30.     SendMessage hwndEx, WM_GETTEXT, intlen, ByVal buffer
    31.        
    32.     MsgBox buffer
    33.    
    34. End Sub
