I am a Windows Programmer, am having peoblem retreving the URL from
the AddressBar of Netscape6
> I am using SendMessage to retrieve the URL from the address bar of the

> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
> TCHAR buf[256];
> int ret = SendMessage(m_hEditBox,WM_GETTEXT,256,(LPARAM) buf);
> if(ret)
> {
> // get the buf which has the URL from the address bar
> and process it here
> }
> m_hEditBox has the handle of the AddressBar edit box

> While testing on Windows NT(98,85) and Netscape6, the value i get in buf is
> not always the current url which is present in the address bar at the
