Edit Control Notification Messages
The user makes editing requests by using the keyboard and mouse. Windows sends
each request to the edit control's parent window in the form of a WM_COMMAND message. The message includes the edit control identifier in the low-order
word of the wParam parameter, the handle of the edit control in the lParam parameter, and an edit control notification message corresponding to the
user's action in the high-order word of the wParam parameter.
Portability issue In Microsoft Windows NTŪ, the placement of the notification code in a notification message has moved
from the lParam parameter to the wParam parameter. Windows 3.x  based applications that process notification messages must modify this code
when porting to Windows NT.
An application should examine each notification message and respond
appropriately. The following table lists each edit control notification message and the
action that generates it.
Notification message
| User action
| EN_CHANGE
| The user has modified text in an edit control. Windows updates the display
before sending this message (unlike EN_UPDATE).
| EN_ERRSPACE
| The edit control cannot allocate enough memory to meet a specific request.
| EN_HSCROLL
| The user has clicked the edit control's horizontal scroll bar. Windows sends
this message before updating the screen.
| EN_KILLFOCUS
| The user has selected another control.
| EN_MAXTEXT
| While inserting text, the user has exceeded the specified number of characters
for the edit control. Insertion has been truncated. This message is also sent
either when an edit control does not have the ES_AUTOHSCROLL style and the
number of characters to be inserted exceeds the width of the edit control or when
an edit control does not have the ES_AUTOVSCROLL style and the total number of
lines to be inserted exceeds the height of the edit control.
| EN_SETFOCUS
| The user has selected this edit control.
| EN_UPDATE
| The user has altered the text in the edit control and Windows is about to
display the new text. Windows sends this message after formatting the text, but
before displaying it, so that the application can resize the edit control window.
| EN_VSCROLL
| The user has clicked the edit control's vertical scroll bar. Windows sends
this message before updating the screen.
|
In addition, the system sends a WM_CTLCOLOREDIT message to an edit control's parent window before the edit control is drawn.
This message contains a handle of the edit control's display context (DC) and a
handle of the child window. The parent window can use these handles to change
the edit control's text and background colors.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
