https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/problem-with-edit-box-EM-LIMITTEXT/m-p/968319#M23388 I have an edit box, I use EM_LIMITTEXT to limit the number of characters to 12. <BR />I display a default value of 0.000 in the edit box. <BR />I then find I have problems editing the edit box I can only replace the "0.000" with another 5 characters, I can not enter a number before the first "0". <BR />If I remove the EM_LIMITTEXT message then the edit box works fine. <BR /> <BR />Am I doing something wrong? <BR /> <BR />Thanks, <BR />David <BR /> <BR />iret=SendMessage(hMinE,EM_LIMITTEXT,12,0) <BR />c13=' 0.000'c <BR />iret=SendMessage(hMinE,WM_SETTEXT,0,loc(c13)) Tue, 02 Oct 2001 16:51:08 GMT davidgraham 2001-10-02T16:51:08Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/problem-with-edit-box-EM-LIMITTEXT/m-p/968319#M23388 I have an edit box, I use EM_LIMITTEXT to limit the number of characters to 12. <BR />I display a default value of 0.000 in the edit box. <BR />I then find I have problems editing the edit box I can only replace the "0.000" with another 5 characters, I can not enter a number before the first "0". <BR />If I remove the EM_LIMITTEXT message then the edit box works fine. <BR /> <BR />Am I doing something wrong? <BR /> <BR />Thanks, <BR />David <BR /> <BR />iret=SendMessage(hMinE,EM_LIMITTEXT,12,0) <BR />c13=' 0.000'c <BR />iret=SendMessage(hMinE,WM_SETTEXT,0,loc(c13)) Tue, 02 Oct 2001 16:51:08 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/problem-with-edit-box-EM-LIMITTEXT/m-p/968319#M23388 davidgraham 2001-10-02T16:51:08Z
