I think it is possible to send a WM_GETTEXT message to the child control (window) of another process (using SendMessage). You can use the spy++ application (included in visual studio, maybe?) to get information about the control you are interested in. Have a look at msdn under Library -> Windows Development -> Windows Application UI Development. (msdn.microsoft.com)
I'm taking classes of c++ but VC++ is whole new world for me. When making GUI applications I use VB.NET its so much easier. If you're starting to learn programming and wish to just make GUI application I would recommend learning VB.NET
