Thread: Getting current frequency from Radiator

Hi,

I am currently writing a front-end for my CarPC, but cannot get the current frequency form radiator. I can control every part of it apart from getting the Frequency from it. I am coding in Visual Basic .NET 2005. I looked around on the internet and it looks like GetWindowText.

When you change the frequency in Radiator, the windows title changes and has the frequency in it....


eg. 99.30 FM - Radiator (Muted)


I have used the code below to get the windowtext, so I can take the first part of the returned string to give me the frequency........




Public Function Radiator_GetFrequency() as String

Dim buf As String
Dim Title As String
Dim Length As Integer

Length = GetWindowTextLength(hWndRadiator)
buf = Space$(Length)
Length = GetWindowText(hWndRadiator, buf, Length + 1)
Title = buf.Substring(0, 5)

Return Title

End Function



...but all I get back from the function is the string "Radiator", why is this, has anybody else managed to get the frequency from Radiator?

Thanks for any help
