    Question Type past width of Edit control

    Hi all!

    I'm writing an application using Win32 APIs and have created an edit box on the window like so:
    hwnd_1=CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, ca_className_edit, "editMe", WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE, 75, 10, 150, 25, hwnd, NULL, g_hInstance, 0);

    Now, all the controls on that page would've lived happily ever after, but the Edit control won't let a user type beyond the width of the control and since there's not enough input, there's not enough output and the system as a whole doesn't work - it's basically the universe falling apart in software terms, for this application.

    Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions on getting the control to allow 'scrolling' as the user types past the right edge (assuming Left-to-Right text ).

    Regards,
    T.I.N.
