Thread: Validate an edit control

Try this...

Code:

CreateWindow("EDIT",NULL,
         WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP |
         ES_NUMBER | ES_CENTER,
         0,0,100,30,hParent,NULL,hInstance,NULL);

Use EN_UPDATE and scan for any illegal chars, you can use ES_NUMBER but it doesn't allow decimal separators to be entered. Either way, you have to do some additional work.
