SOLVED!

In case anyone else is wondering how to do this its simple enough you use the SendMessage function in the windows api and set the message as TBM_GETPOS with wParam and lParam set to zero. The program will then return the position.

Here is an example of it while trying to send a message to a dialog

unsigned int speed = SendDlgItemMessage(mainDialog, SPEED_SLIDER, TBM_GETPOS, 0, 0);

Its pretty much the same thing with SendMessage except you don't pass the first parameter "mainDialog".

And SPEED_SLIDER is a definition of the ID of the control well technically its called a window.
