Getting control text

[EvilByte]

Hi
I want to get the text from a richedit control. I used Winspector to find the control ID which is 1153 but this does not work

Code: Select all

*Buffer.s = Space(1000)
SendMessage_(1153,#WM_GETTEXT,1000,*Buffer.s)
Debug *Buffer.s

Any ideas?

Have you test this: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 00#p317000
(as include, userlib is outdated)

1153

This doesn't look like a hwnd to me, more like a CtrlID. You need the window handle to use SendMessage_()

Tried ts-soft's AutoWin include and it works!
Thx for your time guys
