I think my ini system which is included with my windows editor on the
contributions page (30/7/2001) will probably do a lot(maybe all)of what
you want. In any case you can always edit it to suit your requirements

I was hoping someone else would jump in.
Anyhow, if you have the SDK manual you will be able to do this with a
combination of EnumWindows and EnumChildWindows API calls, and
WM_GETTEXTLENGTH and WM_GETTEXT messages. I'll try to knock up an example
later tonight. This method will only work for those controls that support
the WM_SETTEXT message, meaning that if you directly draw the text to the
window/control using DrawText or TextOut that you will miss searching those
controls.
