RE:Get smart search control cmstextbox value on another custom web part

You'd have to modify the existing web part (not recommended, suggest creating your own copy) or create your own web part that is a simple copy of the current smart search and add your filter to it. You don't pass property values from one web part to another.

If you were to modify the existing web part you could set a session value and look for that session value in your other web part.
