Then I have to disapoint you about this; many of these small tools already exist and work. A MaskEdit control is just as easily read as a Edit control. With GetWindowText I can get the masked text out of a couple of programs, but not all. Strangly enough a program written in VB (I have the source of this simple and small program), uses gettext(hWindow) and gets the masked text out of almost all programs. > An alternate solution - and no, I've not even thought about trying this > - would be to watch for new windows appearing with the ES_PASSWORD > attribute.

I don't wish to intercept information. It is intended to just be a retrieval tool. Jasper
