Getting status bar text across processes

[jj2007]

Just for fun, I built a little app that uses SB_GETTEXT to read the items of a statusbar. Not as trivial as it seemed at the beginning, because WM_GETTEXT delivers only the first item, while SB_GETTEXT triggers a GPF when trying to spy on other folks' apps.
Code attached, with some sample apps. MSIE 6.0 works fine, also Outlook Express and Editor2.
