Im trying to get the dialog item text into a buffer. It works with GetDlgItemText(), but how do i get the length of the text so i can allocate the buffer before i read it in there?

    Send the window handle, obtained by calling GetDlgItem, a WM_GETTEXTLENGTH message. Or if you prefer call GetWindowTextLength.
