How I can get the text of a textbox that is on other app?

Hi all. (windows forms). How I can get the text of a textbox that is on other app? Example: I have an app running that has a textbox which Text property is "MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO ROCKS!". I want to make an application that will obtain the handle of that textbox and get its contents (its text property value). Please help me. Thx in advance. Best regards, Marco Alves.

It depends... Do you control the code of the other app? Offcourse it's much more complicated if you don't.

No, I don't have the control of the other app.
