Question: The idea was to hook into main wnd procedure and catch WM_SETTEXT messages :) Shouldn't that be more reliable from a timer? (I personally hate timers...no matter how cheap, they still run all the time unlike callback system)

    Sure, you could try that too, but personally I'd use a carefully crafted timer.

    "they still run all the time unlike callback system" -- a timer might run every 100ms or so, but if you install a hook you're adding some code for every single message that the window processes, even messages that have nothing to do with WM_SETTEXT (though just another function call, typically, but still).
