Alternative Managed API:
Do you know one? Please contribute it!
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. However, GetWindowText cannot retrieve the text of a control in another application, If the target window is owned by the current process, GetWindowText causes a WM_GETTEXT message to be sent to the specified window or control.
