ie,
m_hwndConsole = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
TEXT("edit"),
"",
WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | ES_AUTOVSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_MULTILINE,
0,
0,
200,
150,
NULL,
NULL
GetModuleHandle(NULL),
NULL);
i've used SendMessage(...) which works(weather this control is a child or not), but i would really like to hear other people's opinion/idea on this,
especially making the SetDlgItemText(...) to work which i can't,
many thanks,
The SetWindowText function changes the text of the specified window’s title bar (if it has one). If the specified window is a control, the text of the control is changed.
ParametersCode:BOOL SetWindowText( HWND hWnd, // handle of window or control LPCTSTR lpString // address of string );
hWnd
Identifies the window or control whose text is to be changed.
lpString
Points to a null-terminated string to be used as the new title or control text.

If you create a ctrl on the fly it is a child of the dialog you create it on.
It therefore has to be supplied a HWND of its parent to route its msg's to the correct callback and you must cast the HMENU as its individual int ID# (just as in the resource editor you must give the ctrl an name that is #defined to an int in resource.h)
I use a series of #defines
#define IDC_EDIT1 10001
#define IDC_EDIT2 10002
(HMENU)IDC_EDIT1//in your create window (ex) and then you can use a
case IDC_EDIT1 in your callback or as the resource ID# in the API functions.
