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
