I need to get the text that contains a statusbar from a foreign process. I need the part 2 of this stausbar, so I have used SB_GETTEXT API for this, but the text is not returned in the buffer. It's strange because the call to SB_GETTEXTLENGTH is okey and it returns the number of bytes for the string required.
I have used too the WM_GETTEXT but it gets only the first part of a statusbar and not the others. Does any one have a solution ?

char sValue[255]={0};
const int _PART2_=1;

    int Len = LOWORD(SendMessage(m_hwndItStatusBar, SB_GETTEXTLENGTH, _PART2_, 0));
    if (Len > 0){
           SendMessage(m_hwndItStatusBar, SB_GETTEXT, _PART2_, (LPARAM)(LPSTR)sValue);
           MemoTest->Text= "The string cpntains <" +IntToStr(Len) + "> characters, the value is <"+ (AnsiString)sValue + ">\r\n";
     }
