Win API: reading "text" from non-text control?

[rocheey]

Not sure if this is even possible, but if text were 'printed' on a form, or image control, is it possible to retrieve what is printed? Or is the text 'drawn on' ?

No Problems here using messaging or subclassing, just dont want to have write some sort of OCR code ...

TIA

The text printed on a form is just that, text with attributes. But on an image control it will probably be contained in the image that is displayed.

I've seen code somewhere to enumerate through the applications that are running an pull the Form.Caption information for each one that has a form displayed, but I forget where it is.
