Hello,

I've a trouble to grab the text from a multiline editbox.

Basically, I use the following command to get it :

.data

LongText				db	1024 dup(?)

......

.code

        .......

    	; selectionne le contenu de l'edit box

    	invoke SendMessage,IDC_EDT4,EM_SETSEL,0,-1

    	; copie le contenu de l'editbox

    	invoke SendMessage,IDC_EDT4,EM_GETSELTEXT,0,addr LongText

But i can't get anything in my buffer. Is EM_GETSELTEXT valid for a multiline editbox ? I though
it was, but I didn't found confirmation of this on msdn. Shall I better do that from a RichEdit control
or did I missed something ?

I ran it through Olly, the message EM_SETSEL seem to work fine, Olly didn't recognize EM_GETSELTEXT
(he send 43E as message), but appart that the function return 0 caracters copied. Have also trying
WM_GETTEXT without result......

Yeah, you are right, I was not using the handle.

Currently this does not make it work better, so I think I'll have to
make a single app that does just that to see where I've missed
something...

Thanks for your help

Hi etherlord

EM_GETSELTEXT might only work with richedit. If you want all the text in the editcontrol then Synfire has the solution.
