How do I programatically get the text from a popup dialog box?

Thanks.

What text? The text in the Window title? The text in a text box in the
dialog? The text of a label in the dialog? The text of a message in a
messagebox?

Your question is very vague. Can you be more specific?

Is the messagebox shown by another program?

If you have the messagebox's window handle, you can get the text by
p/invoking 'GetWindowText'.

How can we get the window handle of any window ? Is there a way to find out?

Will that application always use that handle on every computer ?

What if that application is MDI ? can we access the sub windows in that
application as well ?
