Thread: Can't modify the text in

I have this problem that I can't modify the text in the text-edit control (while running the program).
I can select it, but not delete it or add new characters. It's ID is TextMain.
Do you know what could cause this?

Code:

LRESULT MessageHandler(HWND Handle, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   switch(Message)
   {
      case WM_COMMAND:
         switch(LOWORD(wParam))
         {
            case ButtonCopy:
            	return 0;
            case ButtonColor:
            	return 0;
            case ButtonAbout:
            	return 0;
            case ButtonExit:
            	DestroyWindow(Handle);
            	return 0;
         }
         return 0;
      case WM_CLOSE:
         DestroyWindow(Handle);
         return 0;
      case WM_DESTROY:
         PostQuitMessage(0);
         return 0;
   }
   return 0;
}

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE CurInst, HINSTANCE PrevInst, LPSTR Param, int Show)
{
   MSG Message;
   MainWindow = CreateDialog(CurInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(MainDialog), NULL, (DLGPROC)MessageHandler);
   ShowWindow(MainWindow, SW_SHOW);
   UpdateWindow(MainWindow);
   while(GetMessage(&Message, NULL, 0, 0)) DispatchMessage(&Message);
   return 0;
}

This is the resource file:

}

This is a guess: try changing the 'CONTROL' statement in your resource script to the more usual 'EDITTEXT' for the edit control.

The CONTROL statement is normally used for user-defined controls; there are specific resource statements for the standard/user/predefined controls (buttons,edits etc).

edit: before you try that though, try changing this line:

Code:

while(GetMessage(&Message, NULL, 0, 0)) DispatchMessage(&Message);

to

Code:

while(GetMessage(&Message, NULL, 0, 0)) TranslateMessage(&Message);DispatchMessage(&Message);

As TranslateMessage is required to (from msdn: )..translates virtual-key messages into character messages..

Thanks, it worked (adding TranslateMessage).

PS:
I assumed you meant:

Code:

while(GetMessage(&Message, NULL, 0, 0))
{
   TranslateMessage(&Message);
   DispatchMessage(&Message);
}

Ooops! Sorry about that - I did mean it that way. I'm glad that you at least knew what you were doing and that you got it to work.
