Anyone know of a way to get the text conatined in the NotesRichText window class (mail body field) via the win32 api?
When I have the HWND for the NotesRichText window and try a GetWindowText on it, I am always returned an empty string.

Manipulating the Notes program windows directly with Windows operating system calls is generally not advisable. May I ask what you’re trying to accomplish? I’m sure there’s a better way to do it.

I don’t actually need to manipulate anything, I just need to get the text that is in the rich text field.
To be specific, on a windows key type I want to be able to get the text in the rich text area, but GetWindowText isn’t working for me.

That really wasn’t a description of what you’re trying to accomplish.
Why would you not use OLE automation for this (assuming it’s initiated from outside of Notes)? NotesUIWorkspace.CurrentDocument.Document.GetFirstItem(“fieldname”).GetFormattedText(…)

Thanks, I’m actually running in the notes proc as an ext manager. What I am trying to do is create a spell checker for notesrichtext fields.
Is there anyway to get around the Dispatch interface and get ahold of the CurrentDocument and fields natively?

Why wouldn’t you access the rich text field directly from the note handle? Which extension manager hooks are you using?
