I have made a textbox and there is text in it, but when I use GetWindowText(...) to get the text it returns a uni code string full on nonsence stuff.
Here is the string it returns:
‹ÿU‹ì‹MVè´Ôýÿ‹ð…öt8‹U ;è
No matter the text I put it always returns that. Why and how can I get the real text?
And if I use SendMessage(hwnd_of_textbox, WM_GETTEXT, (WPARAM)10, (LPARAM)text)
it gives and "sorry application had to close" error.
Are you certain that your HWND value is valid?
I made the textbox my self so yes, cause the text will change if I send a change message.
maybe post the part of the code where you have to grab the text..
* PC: Intel Core 2 DUO E6550 @ 2.33 GHz with 2 GB RAM: Archlinux-i686 with xfce4.
* Laptop: Intel Core 2 DUO T6600 @ 2.20 GHz with 4 GB RAM: Archlinux-x86-64 with xfce4.
There is the code. I put the text from the recvbox back into as a test, wich still gives that messed up string.Code:GetWindowText(recvbox, text, 10); //SendMessage(recvbox, WM_GETTEXT, (WPARAM)10, (LPARAM)text); //Gives an error SendMessage(recvbox, WM_SETTEXT, NULL, (LPARAM)text);
Is text large enough to hold 10 characters? What does GetWindowText return? If it's zero, what does GetLastError return afterwards?

Umm text is declared as fallows:
LPSTR text;
The error part I will check when I get home from school.
That's your problem. You need to declare it as:Umm text is declared as fallows:
LPSTR text;
Code:TCHAR text[10];
bithub, it would be more compatible if it was:
Instead of:Code:char text[10];
Code:TCHAR text[10];
Or if you really want it in a LPSTR format, just do this:
Code:char textT[10]; GetWindowText(recvbox, textT, 10); LPSTR text = textT;
BTW: I tried compiling it the way you had it,
ad I got errors. How come when you did it, it did it.

I am using visual c++ toolkit 2003 compiler?
I noticed a huge differnce in ahh what is it GNU... no well what ever dev-c++ uses and toolkit 2003.

Hunter, you have dial-up don't you?
ahh no... dsl... what does that have to do with this?
The speed is sorta unsure but I download at 160kb a second.
Nothing. I just noticed that you clicked the "Post Reply" button twice. The reason I thought you had dial-up is because some times people tend to push it twice thinking it didn't go though the first time because the page didn't load fast enough.
I wish I had DSL.
(My speed is only 63kbps.)
