This function copies the text of the specified window's title bar — if it has one — into a buffer. If the specified window is a control, the text of the control is copied.

CeGetWindowTextis a remote application interface (RAPI), which enables an application running on a desktop computer to make function calls on a Windows CE–based device.

);

Parameters

Handle to the window or control containing the text.
lpString

Return Values

The length, in characters, of the copied string, not including the terminating null character, indicates success.
