Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Win32 API Question about SendMessage & GETTEXT

What's even more strange is... I'm trying it in vb to see if it's just a limitation of .net or something, and the VB return value of WM_GETTEXTLENGTH is different (about 5k less) than what the .net SendMessage returns.

I'm completely baffled. How is this possible? How can one window return 66235 in .net but return 60123 in VB? It's the SAME handle, same function call, and same constant declarations.
