So far, I was able to do everything I needed with just the PlusWnd::GetControlText and PlusWnd:etControlText functions. But now I'm quite stuck. I want to change the position of the cursor in an EditControl, and set a selection. According to MSDN, it has to be possible, but those messages don't seem to have effect on them:

code:

---

var EM_SETSEL = 0xB1;
var pos = 2;
PlusWnd.SendControlMessage(PlusWnd.GetControlHandle("EdtExp"), EM_SETSEL, pos, pos+1);

---

should do it, but it doesn't.

Any ideas?

umm youre using SendControlMessage wrong

first parameter should be the control id (in this case "EdtExp") not a hwnd

DOOH!

Stupid me looking at the MSDN page and thinking it needs a control handler while Plus! does that.

Many thanks!!!

Okay, new question: I have some buttons which change the text in my edit control and now I want to give the edit control focus after the button is clicked so the user can type in it. Any ideas how I can do that?

Use the SetFocus Windows API . This time you'll need GetControlHandle

code:

---

Interop.Call("user32.dll","SetFocus",PlusWnd.GetControlHandle("EdtExp"));

---

Okay, thanks!
