Notes

The caption text can also be set/retrieved through the abmSetTextOnPos and abmGetTextOnPos functions.

To set/retrieve the text font refer to the abmSetFontText and abmGetFontText functions.

To change other settings of the caption text (color, position, effects, etc.) use the abmSetTextSettingOnPos and abmGetTextSettingOnPos functions.

The caption text can be hidden/shown using the abmSetTextVisible function.

If using the abmGetCaption function from within Visual Basic 6, remember to convert the returned value from UNICODE using the StrConv function and its related vbFromUnicode option, as in the sample below:

MsgBox StrConv(abmGetCaption(Command1.hwnd), vbFromUnicode)
