Get the text of a control in a seperate process

[Gogeta70]

I've been working on trying to get the text of the address bar of firefox, but it's not working very well.

It seems that the text box for the address bar is a custom control, and it won't respond to the WM_GETTEXT message. I got the window handle for firefox, and then used EnumChildWindows() to get the handle of each control, and sent each control a WM_GETTEXT message. None of them returned any text.

Is there any other way to get the text of the address bar in firefox?

Firefox uses GTK, so I guess that you'd have to use dbus to communicate with it. Then again, I'm just guessing.
