    Question messages from strings

    there might not be, but is there a way to retrieve a WM_message from a string like, if you had a string of "WM_CHAR" could you get the message from that string?



    Thanks in Advance,

    I'm just asking if there was a function that would return a value of a message from the message in a string. so if I had a string, "WM_CHAR" could a function return the value of WM_CHAR?

    But why? You could write one yourself but to what purpose?

    What are you trying to do?

    I just want an edit box to display a message and be changed by the user and then read by the function and used in SendMessage

    Well you could build this yourself without much hassle. You could compare the string to a literal and issue a message on success.

    Personally, I dont know of such a fuction, but hell it wouldnt suprise me if there was one!
