  int GetDlgItemText( int nID, LPSTR lpStr, int nMaxCount ) const;
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <nID>       Specifies the integer identifier of the dialog-box item
              whose caption or text is to be retrieved.
 
  <lpStr>     Points to the buffer to receive the text.
 
  <nMaxCount> Specifies the maximum length (in bytes) of the string to be
              copied to <lpStr>. If the string is longer than <nMaxCount>,
              it is truncated.
 
  Remarks
 
  Retrieves the caption or text associated with a control in a dialog box.
  The GetDlgItemText member function copies the text to the location
  pointed to by <lpStr> and returns a count of the number of bytes it
  copies.
 
  Return Value
 
  Specifies the actual number of bytes copied to the buffer. The value is
  0 if no text is copied.
