GetWindowText and SetWindowText functions

[WriteGreatCode]

Get the text:

//Get window text into a std::string.
std::string GetWindowText (HWND hWnd)
{
	int iLength = (GetWindowTextLength (hWnd) + 1);
	char *cpText = new char [iLength];
	::GetWindowText (hWnd, cpText, iLength);
	string sReturnString = cpText;
	delete [] cpText;
	return sReturnString;
}

Set the text:
