hi, in an edit control if multiple characters are selected and user presses delete button how we can deleted text that is "selected text" in WM_KEYDOWN or OnKeyDown handler?? same thing with OnChar also for backspace!! Thanks and regards Harshal

Call the CWnd::OnkeyDown() in the overrided Onkeydown() Rinu Raj

hi rinu, thanks for replying. but what i want to do is something different suppose "abcd" is the selected text and the caret is positioned before 'a' and if someone presses delete whole text will delete so i want to retrieve that text before it gets deleted. means i want abcd to be stored in some buffer or CString variable thank's Harshal

You may check whether the DEL key is pressed in the OnKeydown() If it is pressed then store the edit box content in a string variable. After that call the CWnd::OnKeydown() Rinu Raj
