Hi,

I am writing an app where the user will be able to enter text into a richedit control by using the physical keyboard or an onscreen keyboard (or a combination of both). What message should I send\use when the user clicks an 'on screen' key to get the richedit control to update correctly?
I know how to use BN_CLICKED etc to know that a button has been clicked and how to find which button it was, it's just how to translate an 'on screen' L (for example) into an L at the current cursor position in the richedit control. It just seems a rather long-winded way to have to WM_GETTEXT, insert the L into the buffer and then WM_SETTEXT to send it back to the richedit control.

Many thanks for any help anyone can give

WM_CHAR

Excellent :p

Must have missed that one. Had been trying a combination of WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP which also pass the char, but these didn't word.

Many thanks
