Can you launch an external exe, one that you did not write and find a control on its form. Then get the contents of that control (just a string)?
I would like to launch a piece of software that has encrypted data in a HTML/RTF box, then strip the data out of the application.
Is this possible? If so what language?

It’s possible to take the text out of the text box (Windows EDIT control) by sending it WM_GETTEXT message, but not from “generic” control. The only exception is when the control does let you do this by handling WM_GETTEXT message, but I suppose you don’t think the developers of the application are that stupid to offer you such possibility? 🙂
So to answer your question – 99,9% chance that no.
