Problem while setting text to a control using WM_SETTEXT with SendMessage API

[PankajB]

Hi there. I am setting text for a control using below code...

char buffer[MAX_PATH];
char *message = "Hello";
sprintf(buffer, "%s", message);
....
....
HWND pWnd7 = ::FindWindowEx(pWnd6, NULL, L"TComboBox", NULL);
::SendMessage(pWnd7, WM_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)buffer);

Its setting some text but seems to be some garbage. i tnow its not garbase, but actually we are not able to properly convert buffer into LPARAM type i.e., (LPARAM)buffer). Please help me on this. Thanks PanB

What about

TCHAR buffer[] = _T("Hello");
//...
HWND hWnd7 = ::FindWindowEx(hWnd6, NULL, _T("TComboBox"), NULL);
if ( hWnd7 ) ::SendMessage(hWnd7, WM_SETTEXT, 0 , (LPARAM) buffer);
