In due diligence, you are casting an ANSI string into a UTF-8
string which will result in broken Unicode for non-ASCII window

versions of Windows-API functions nowadays.

Good point. (pun not originally intended ;)
All serious projects I have done for Windows thus far have
actually been in C# (default UTF-16), so I guess I've been
spoiled.
Second I'd like to mention that you should have set ret.length
= GetWindowText(_hwnd, (char*)ret.ptr, ret.length); Currently
your length is anything from 1 to N bytes longer than the
actual string[2], which is not obvious because any debug
printing or display of the string stops at the embedded \0
terminator.

Totally right! I looked right at this info in the docs..not sure
how I still got it wrong ;)
Thanks
