How can I retrieve the handle of a Windows Form texBox?
The property textBox->Handle is not the same thing.

Winapi, if there is a window (hwnd) that has a child Edit control with ID 1:

HWND hwnd_edit = GetDlgItem(hwnd, 1);
size_t len = GetWindowTextLength(hwnd_edit);
if(len){
  char *buffer = new char[len+2];
  GetWindowText(hwnd_edit, buffer, len+1);
  buffer[len+1] = '\0';
  //And if it must be a string:
  std::string YourString(buffer);
  delete[] buffer;
}
