Edit Box messages
-
Hi I have few edit boxes in a Dialog window. Now I want to process the characters entered in each edit boxes. I dont want to use OnChar or OnKeyDown becouse it will process all those messages to the main window. I just want to process the messages only when user types something in the edit box. How can I do that. btw: this is for finding some unwanted characters like @#@#!@$ being entered in the certain edit box. Thanks Regards The Best Relligion is Science. Once you understand it, you will know God.

Hi, One solution is to implement the
WM_CHANGEmessage. Each time it is called you will check the edit boxes... Well... I am a beginner ... -
Hi Thankyou. It will work. But I want to get each character by character entered into the edit box. Regards The Best Relligion is Science. Once you understand it, you will know God.

Enhanced Focus Edit Control with Input Filtering [^] My control does filtering of input (also via paste operations). IIRC, I could not get the
WM_CHARmessage to reflect from the control, so I used PreTranslateMessage on the edit control class itself, so I would only getWM_CHARmessages for that control. Peace! -=- James Tip for inexperienced drivers: "Professional Driver on Closed Course" does not mean "your Dumb Ass on a Public Road"!
