How to get content from Content Editor WebPart (CEWP) to a custom WebPart on the same Page?

Question

I have two webparts on a single page:

1. Content Editor WebPart
2. My Custom WebPart

I need to send content from 1 in HTML format to 2. Is there a way to achieve this?

I was thinking of, maybe, adding JavaScript to Content Link of CEWP that would read the content from the CEWP and store it somewhere temporarily and then parsing in with my custom WebPart.

Or is there a simpler way to read the data from CEWP? Please, help.

If you know the id than in your custom webpart you can do:

        ContentEditorWebPart cewp = (ContentEditorWebPart)Page.FindControl("controlID");
        string textFromCewp = cewp.Content.InnerText;

else if you dont know the id but only have one content editor webpart on that page than you could do:

        foreach (Control c in Page.Controls)
        {
            if (c is ContentEditorWebPart)
            {
                ContentEditorWebPart cewp = (ContentEditorWebPart)c;
                string textFromCewp = cewp.Content.InnerText;
            }
        }
