getwindowtexta = need help defining function

[dazappa007]

OK well I think I found a user32.dll function that is perfect for me: GetWindowTextA. The problem is, I don't know how to do it... In vb you'd do

 Private Declare Function GetWindowText Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowTextA"
(ByVal hWnd As System.IntPtr, ByVal lpString As System.Text.StringBuilder,
ByVal nMaxCount As Integer) As Integer

But yeah, can someone help me convert that to delphi?

Usually most of the common Windows API functions are defined in the Windows unit. So if the program has the windows unit present, all it takes is making the call.

This should be documented in the Windows 32 API help. Or if you can find it (hopefully in the Delphi install), have a look at the windows unit source.

I'll do it for you for this one:

function GetWindowTextA(hWnd: HWND; lpString: PAnsiChar; nMaxCount: Integer): Integer; stdcall;

function GetWindowTextA; external user32 name 'GetWindowTextA';
