    Win32 Editboxs bleeding into each other?

    I'm kinda new to win32 stuff. I made a window and some editbox windows for a login for my program. But after I use the button to login, every window I popup with editboxes after that contain the information from that initial login windows last editbox. Anyone know what might cause this?

    Sounds like you don't clear the editbox, or perhaps you have a buffer overrun (somewhat less likely).

    Hmm it'd be quite a bit of code to put up. basically its just making a window, slapping two editboxes, allocating a couple bits of memory to put the text from the editboxes in and then killing the window.

    Then when I create a completely different window of a different class type with completely different editboxes I get the text in both editboxes from the first box in the other window. And theres really no connection between the two. I guess it's a buffer thing somewheres.
