window.One is a ListBox and another is a Multi line Rich Edit
control.When i click on an item in the list some text is displayed in
the Edit control.Exe have a Hunderds of items in the List
controls,which display some text in edit control against an item
selection.

selection of an item in list controls .and want to place that data in a
Word file.Can any body tell me how i can do that.is there any API's

I'm responding to this even though I dislike your moniker. If you have visual
studio, open the exe in "resource" mode and see if the text is stored as a
resource. If so, you can write code to get at it.

That suggests that it is probably compiled statically in their heap
initialization. I suspect it would be very hard to find. You couldn't even
depend on a fixed address if they deliver a new version...
