Notes

If the text box has a control ID, you should be able to read it with the following command:

ReadText #123 ?ErrorText (where 123 = your Ctrl-ID for the text box)

The other option you have is to identify the window using the Dialog statement. You can even reference the text from that specific control in the statement:

Dialog
Title "ErrorBox"
Class "12345"
Ctrl #123 "You have generated an error"
EndDialog

This will only hook this window if it contains Ctrl-ID 123, and it contains the text "You have generated an error"

If the text has no ctrl-id, NSL cannot see it. In that case, you must identify the window using class and title only.
