Which type is your application ? if it is a MFC dialg based app the paramter to SetDlgItemText is correct , otherwise u need to provide the HWND of your dialog in SetDlgItemText function. SetDlgItemText( , IDC_PATH, szDir); Refer MSDN.

If u can Dream... U can do it

Hi krishna, I am using Win 32 Application.

So where you placed the edit control ? dialog or window ? and which function you using for showing dialog(DialogBox() ) ? you will get the hwnd of dialog in dialog Proc. if it is dialog put your dialogs handle in SetDlgItemText Hopes this helps

If u can Dream... U can do it

You passing wrong value as third parameter, it should be message to send(WM_SETTEXT in this case). Modify your code to,

SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd,IDC_PATH,WM_SETTEXT,0,(LPARAM)szDir);

You can use SetDlgItemText either.

And also I want to know how to disable and enable edit box ???

use:

BOOL EnableWindow(
HWND hWnd, // handle to window
BOOL bEnable // flag for enabling or disabling input
);

HWND hEdit = GetDlgItem(hDlg,IDC_PATH);//hDlg handle to dialog
EnableWindow(hEdit,FALSE);//disables window
and
EnableWindow(hEdit,TRUE);//enables window
