    Edit controls

    Hi, I'd just like to know how to ADD text into an edit control (in a dialog box). I've tried using SetDlgItemText() but that takes away what you previously had in the edit control.

    Thanks heaps!

    I know of EditPrintf(), but thats only for the use with child windows, not dialog box controls...

    Thanks for replying...

    ...but has anybody got a similar function that works with dialog box controls? I would be VERY thankful if anybody could help!

    Could GetDlgItemText()
    then strcat() or sprintf() ect both to one string, then SetDlgItemText()
