Equivalent for UIAccessor.GetWindowText?

[Anonymous]

Well, the issue I met come from string size/length limit of UIAccessor.GetWindowText function that return maximum 255 characters. I also try to get windows text with Windows Struct but hit the same limit of 255 chars.

--variant #1
wndMsg = (Windows.getChildrenHWND hwnd)

--variant #2
wndMsg = UIAccessor.GetWindowText (Windows.getChildrenHWND hwnd)

My qestion is is there equivalent for GetWindowText()
or any other workaround to get windows text?

fn getLongWindowText hWnd length encoding:#ansi =
(
 local WM_GETTEXT = 0xD
 local marshalCls = dotnetClass "System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal"
 local buffer = marshalCls.allocHGlobal length
 local bufferPtr = dotnetObject "System.IntPtr" buffer
 windows.sendMessage hWnd WM_GETTEXT length buffer
 local str = (if encoding == #ansi then marshalCls.PtrToStringAnsi else marshalCls.PtrToStringUni) bufferPtr 
 marshalCls.freeHGlobal bufferPtr
 str
)
