Reading from text from another application

Hi
Can somebody please tell me how I can read text from another running
application.
From a textbox in that application for example

I guess being a smart as$ and telling you to use cut and paste won't
quiet answer you question.

Do you have source code for this text producing application?
(if so then you have a lot of options then.)

Is the text being typed into the application? (if so, you could probably
hi-jack the windows-messages that are being sent to the application.
Gees I hope this advice wont be used for anything malicious.)

Turn on screen, open eyes, focus on textbox... and yes - make shure
other app is visible ;)

or program that app to share info,

or and this is just a guess: get then wHand of prog and then connect
to textbox object in that program, think some debugging tool can do
that (seen it/sonmethink like it in VS but never used it)
never done that, never eaven thought about it... but nr1 is my first
thought.
