Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to capture the text from a window
that is running in an external application?

Best wishes

P/invoke on 'SendMessage' + 'WM_GETTEXT' will work for Windows' standard
controls if you have the control's handle. You can use
'FindWindow'/'FindWindowEx'/... to get a control's handle.
