Capture text from a dialog item in another application window

1
I would like to be able to capture the address bar URL as well as other text from text boxes in other applications. I can get the window handle but how to I get the text from a specific box?

I am using VB.net 05 and have found in my search GetDlgItem may be a solution but can't find any code.

Thanks in advance :)

This is not possible.
You cannot use text from text boxes which are part of another application.
The only way you can use text from another window is if that window/form is part of your application.

Sorry,
