Thread: WM_GETTEXT error

I'm trying to populate a char array with the text in a text box. Here's my code:

Code:

//in my global variable declares:
HWND Txt1;

//in my message handler, case WM_CREATE:
Txt1=CreateWindowEx(0,"Edit","Text Box",WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 15,90,90,15,hwnd,NULL,hInstMain,NULL);

//the offending code, called when a cmd btn is pushed:
int iMaxChar=100;
char buffTxt1[100];
SendMessage(Txt1,WM_GETTEXT,iMaxChar,&buffTxt1);

Error C2664: 'SendMessageA' : cannot convert parameter 4 from 'char *(*)[100]' to 'long'

I've tried:

Code:

SendMessage(Txt1,WM_GETTEXT,iMaxChar,buffTxt1);

I'm sure I'm missing something simple I just don't see it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks, Uraldor. I noticed the (WPARAM)/(LPARAM) in the MSDN library and didn't even think to try it!

Like I said, I had a feeling I was missing something simple.
