    The properties shown, it should be possible to retrieve the data you require, but you will have to play around with the properties and parameter(s) values!

What properties and methods are exposed when you use Object Spy on your control?

rraghvani, Here are the Extended Properties and as far as Methods, there's a long list of MFC methods for CCmdTarget_xxx, CObject_xxx and CWnd_xxx. When I do a keyword search for, "get", the methods I get back are from the CWnd_xxx list. I've tried "object.CWnd_GetWindowTextA1()" using the expected strings as params but doesn't seem to work. I maybe using this method incorrectly, though.
