win32 api edit control can't be selected or edited

Question

I created an edit control using win32 api like this:

CreateWindow("edit", "", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0, m_position, CONTROLS_WIDTH, EDITBOX_HEIGHT, m_editorWindow, (HMENU)GetNextComponentID(), m_instance, NULL)

I can change the text from it using SetWindowText, but I can't select it or edit it's content - this is the purpose of an edit control, or not?:))

I read on MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb775458%28VS.85%29.aspx that I must use Edit_enable but I don't know where to find thin macro and I don't heave any idea how to enable editing. When I move the cursor over it the cursor changes to standard edit cursor.

Thank you for help!

Answer 1

Or you could try:

HWND myWindow = CreateWindow("edit", "", WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0, m_position, CONTROLS_WIDTH, EDITBOX_HEIGHT, m_editorWindow, (HMENU)GetNextComponentID(), m_instance, NULL);

EnableWindow(myWindow, true);

Answer 2

It works with SetFocus(hwnd) function.

Answer 3

Have you tried:

GetDlgItem(EditControlID)->EnableWindow(TRUE);
