Reading the ie addressline content from a second program

Hello !
I'm working with delphi 5 and Win98/XP.
Is it possible to read the actual content of browser address-lines (netscape and ie) from a second program (my delphi app) running in the background when doing a button-click there?
If someone have a few code lines or a link for additional help for me i'll be very happy!
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Ingo

The GetUrlFromIE function is declared in the interface section as

function GetUrlFromIE (Handle: THandle; List: TStringList): boolean; stdcall;

This function is an application-defined callback function that receives top-level window handles as a result of a call to the EnumWindows.

Again, this is all laid out in a very nice example here:

You did say from both NS and IE, right?
