GetWindowText Win32 API call

I am trying to capture some text of an external application by using
the GetWindowText Win32 function. I am able to successfully retrieve
the text of some windows in the application (text boxes, some lables,
etc), but one window which is of the class APXWND70 is not exposing
the text or any sub windows that may contain the text. It appears
that this window is some sort of panel with a textbox on it, although
the textbox does not show as a seperate window when using the Spy++
program to capture the window handles.

Any ideas?

If the window does not expose the text, then its impossible to capture it.
So are you trying to capture the text of the textbox in the APXWND70?
