After over an hour's struggle trying to get the win32/user32
`GetWindowTextW()` prototyped properly, and running into problem after problem:
1. Once you properly prototype this, including defining the 2nd `lpString`
parameter as 'out', ctypes wants to just *return* that.
2. This leads to then implementing a `.errcheck` property so that you
can *also* check the INT result for errors.
3. But then you just run into another error.
I finally found <https://stackoverflow.com/a/10905155> which pointed out
you can simply use `win32gui.GetWindowText()` from `pywin32`. Tested, it
simply works, no errors/exceptions.
Any questions or offers of help can be directed to the EDCD Discord #edmc channel:
