GetWindowText [modified]

hi, i've got a problem with getwindowtext. i've spent at least an hour trying to figure out why this won't work. (sad, huh?) i have this code:

BOOL CALLBACK EnumWindowsProc(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
LPSTR title = "";
CString thetitle = "";

GetWindowText(hwnd, title, 100);
thetitle = (CString) title;

AfxMessageBox(thetitle); //just to see its value
if(thetitle == "...") {
...
}

return TRUE;

}

onSomeButtonClick...() {
if(!EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC) EnumWindowsProc, 0)) {
...
}
}

for some reason, thetitle is always blank. can someone tell me why this is happening? any tips for fixing this would help. thanks. -- modified at 21:14 Wednesday 24th May, 2006

Try char title[100]; GetWindowText(hwnd, title, 100); Regards Anil

Look down where the smileys are. Just above them there is a section called Formatting: B I U S small BIG... Hope you saw it. Now select any text and just click on those items. Now your selected text will be wrapped within html tags. Thats it. Hope this is what you meant. :~
