Copying Texts from Edit Boxes.

I have the following code

Code:

	HWND DialogBoxH;
	
	
	//Get the info on the Edit Box

	int len = GetWindowTextLength(DialogBoxH=GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_EDIT2));//Use GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_TEXT)
															  //to get a handle to the 
															  //Edit Box
    if(len > 0)//if it's more than zero, meaning it has characters
    {
        
        char* buf;

        buf = (char*)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, len + 1);//we add one here for the null 
        GetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDIT2, buf, len + 1);//get the text from the edit box
		memcpy(Cliente.ClientName,buf, sizeof buf); //copy the text from buf to the struct
		
		MessageBox (DialogBoxH, Cliente.ClientName,"Something", MB_OK);
		
        //... do stuff with text ...

        GlobalFree((HANDLE)buf);
    }

Why is it that MessageBox doens't print out the whole thing I type on the Edit Box, but only about the first 4 characters.....anyone?

Ok, it was a problem with the sizeof funciton it would always, should be strnlen thanks anyhow
