The Caption is in a window, so use window handle with API : Declare Function GetWindowTextLengthA Lib "user32" (ByVal hHnd As Long) As Long This returns the number of characters in the Window. Likewise, API to return the String Contents from the Window:: Declare Function GetWindowTextA Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpString As String, ByVal cch As Long) As Long Where: lpString is pointer to the String and cch is the Length of the string. You would of course initialize the string referenced by lpString to at least the number of characters returned by GetWindowTextLengthA.
