How are you getting the document name?

Do you really think that such a rudimentary application as notepad really deserves such an advanced technique as injection? :-)
Why doing it all? (This problem should be easy; you find a control's windows as a child of the main application window and send WM_GETTEXT. But why?)

Dear Richard,
The intention is when text file some.txt is double clicked and opened & Ctrl+P print is given I want to hook print dialogs ok/Print button click (Since it is not getting for other application like WinWORD ..) So I tried to hook StartDoc . Hooking SartDoc is possible all application like winword,execel, AdobeAcrobat Reader, Notepad, WritePad The sample Itried to hook obtained from http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2082/API-hooking-revealed.
