I have tried get texts from vs2008 or vs other versions.
For test, I used spy++ and got the notepad's handle values.
Sending WM_GETTEXT to it, I could get correct texts.
but using it to vs2008's text panels of which class name is "vsTextEditPane"
returned nothing. WM_GETTEXTLENGTH also returned zero.
I noticed "vsTextEditPane" control is custom control and WM_ and EM_ is
just for normal control.
I found the way getting it in this site but I can't understand it.

The fact that it's a custom control should be irrelevant, if it's still derived from a standard control. If it's not, if it's choosing it's own method to write text, then I'd imagine you'd have trouble finding anything, as it will be written to not respond to these messages.

The example you found, seems to be using VBscript, in immediate mode. It probably doesn't really translate to you running code outside of visual studio, in any language. What are you trying to do ?
