As you earlier said that the control comes to onchangeeditbox() only when you press ENTER key, then let the control come to this function. Afterwards you can take the data of Edit box in some array and do the necessary manipulation in array i.e make the data 32 character long....and then display the data in this modified array in Edit box.

Thanks for your information. I found the function to convert the string value to the _int64. CString str = "999999999999"; _int64 val = _atoi64(str); Thanks again. Regards, Ram

I believe that you can do it using the parallel port using 24 volts that you should make available from your code in one of the port pins. We have here working something like that but in that case we make an alarm to sound and we have used a relay and some cables, but only the parallel port. If we are capable to make an alarm to sound, I'm sure that you'll be able to enlight a led. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your effort to solve my problem. Its working well. Thanks again. Regards, Ram

After u got the rectangle call the MoveWindow function to size the edit box. nave

Use spy++ to look at what messages are sent to the controls and the help window when you press F1. You should be able to see what the difference is and code around it Objects in mirror are closer than they appear
