getting tittle bar text of any window

Hello All
I am using VB 6. I am trying to get the text in the tittle
bar of the window i click by using GetWindowText API
function but its not working. Here is the code i am using:-

Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32"
Alias "GetWindowTextA " (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal
lpszString As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function WindowFromPoint Lib "user32"
(ByVal xPoint As Long, ByVal yPoint As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function SetCapture Lib "user32" (ByVal
hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As
Long
Private Declare Function ClientToScreen Lib "user32"
(ByVal hwnd As Long, lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
Dim blnChoose As Boolean
Private Sub Command1_Click( )
blnChoose = True
intRetVal = SetCapture(hwnd )
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
blnChoose = False
End Sub

Private Sub Form_MouseDown( Button As Integer, Shift As
Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Dim window As Long
Dim buffer As String * 1024
Dim ptPoint As POINTAPI
If blnChoose Then
ptPoint.X = X
ptPoint.Y = Y
retval = ClientToScreen( hwnd, ptPoint)
window = WindowFromPoint (ptPoint.X, ptPoint.Y)
lngRetVal = GetWindowText(w indow, buffer, 1024)
Text1.Text = buffer
End If
End Sub

Please tell me if there is any problem in this code so
that my prob. can be solved

thanks

Hi Shalender,

This is a VB.net newgroup as you could seen in your previous answers you
have got it is a very different language from VB6.

There are very much VB6 language newsgroups also,

They called often public.vb with a lot of special subjects.

You better place your questions in those newsgroups, because the first time
people will answer you here because most are very polite, but by keeping
doing it, some of us become a little bit sad.

hi. I want to code a 'preview' function into a guestbook entry page. I can do it with a button that posts, bringing up a whole new page showing a preview of what has been entered, and then the user could hit a 'return to entry form' button or some-such and go back to the form. But what I want to do instead is just use an HTML link with some javascript to grab the form's textarea value, and open another browser window that uses a php file...

Hello, Does anyone know how I can read the ASCII text from a console window (from another application) in WinXP?

By "console window", I mean the sort of thing that comes up when you run "command" (although this particular one is for the game...

The user may click in any child window or the main window to open a summary window, which has a name all windows know. I want to get that...

Please forgive the simplicy of this question. I have the following code which attempts to determine the color of some text and set other text to match that color. It works fine in Firefox, but does nothing in IE. I'd be greatful for any assistance. Also, if I will have problems the code on Opera or Safari, I'd appreciate any pointers--I don't have a Mac to test Safari. THanks very much, Michael

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
