I want use Multiline Edit control inside my datawindow control. Is there a way to get handle of the multiline edit control in a window through Win32 API?

There are few different ideas in my mind to play with PowerBuilder controls. If i can get handle of the control or access to any control in a window with win32 API, i think i can change default events behavior or whatever possible to make my life a bit easier with PowerBuilder.

Have you tried Handle(this) or Handle ([object name]) on whatever control you are coding? Take a look in the PowerBuilder help for the 'Handle PowerScript function'.

A regular edit column in the DataWindow can act just like a MLE, just play around with the properties. You are overcomplicating things.
