Hi,
What text you want to retrieve from the FORM, is it the form caption or what??

Hiya,

As I said in my description, its a label.

It's like this. I'm making a program which logs messages when they pop up from another program. As soon as they popup, I retrieve the hWnd and I have the label too. That's the easy part. Now I want to retrieve the message from that label. WM_GETTEXT doesn't work. Spies can't see the text eiter. I've seen another program, who did exactly what I want. I contacted him, but he didn't want to give me the code. All he could say was use settext on the label first, then use gettext on the label u just used settext to. I don't get this, neither does he, because he couldn't explain it... If anyone does, or knows a better way to solve it, please help!

Suppose the hWnd of the label I want the text from is 1234. The class is CStatic. Tell me how to get the text please.
