Just press Ctrl-C. I never knew that!

Also, if you know the hwnd of the messagebox, as you will if you hooked it, you can do:

messagetext.s = Space(512)
GetDlgItemText_(hwnd, $FFFF, @messagetext, 512)

Do you read minds or was that just good detective work? I found this trick while hunting for a function to do just that!

Is there a way to get the string length? And how did you get the value of the nIDDlgItem parameter?

Thank you!
