Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
procedure
TForm1

)
;
var
szText
:
WideString
;
begin
Edit1
.
Text
:
=
Caption
;
if
GetWindowTextW
(
GetForegroundWindow

PWideChar

,
GetWindowTextLengthW
(
GetForegroundWindow

@paweld: you should not mix
PWideChar
and
WideString
like this, cause
GetWindowTextW
won't allocate the buffer for you. So you should do (not tested):
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
SetLength
(
szText
,
GetWindowTextLengthW
(
GetForegroundWindow
)
)
;
if
GetWindowTextW
(
GetForegroundWindow
,
PWideChar
(
szText
)
,
Length
(
szText
)
)
>
0
then
