How can I read text from a textbox or smth like that from another application.
Tell me if u didn't get the idea.
You could use Spy++ to get the Window Handle of the edit control.
Then something like this should work:
TextBox test = Control.FromHandle(<HWND you found via Spy++>) as TextBox;
//do something with test.Text
Then something like this should work:
TextBox test = Control.FromHandle(<HWND you found via Spy++>) as TextBox;
//do something with test.Text
You can use
textbox.text to stock in a string
example :
string mytext = "";
mytext = textbox.text;
So simple :)

That is indeed simple. It's also not what he's trying to do :)
To read the text from a control in another application, you will have to use P/Invoke to send a WM_GETTEXT message to the control with SendMessage() or PostMessage(). You will need to know the handle of the control; this can be obtained using Spy++ (nice and easy, for testing purposes), or using some combination of FindWindow()/EnumChildWindows()/etc.
