is it possible to put the contents of a register into a string
For a return value on say
invoke sendmessage [EDITHWND], WM_GETTEXTLENGTH,0,0
that returns the number of characters into EAX, how can I take that number and put it in a string.

HighLevel programming has dulled my wits Confused

Assuming you use win32ax.inc (or win32wx.inc):
Code:
cinvoke wsprintf,buffer,'%d',eax

The above code is correct in both cases.

.data
buffer2 rb 20
fwsp db '%lu',0
.code
cinvoke wsprintf, buffer2, fwsp, eax

after much fiddling, i guess the '%d' format string just didnt work as an arg kept crashing on me but long unsigned works in there, whats the deal with edit boxes having max of 30k chars?

using win32a.inc not aw or ax wonder if thats why

i'm running winxp though is there a better editbox call then
.data
_edit db 'EDIT',0

.code
invoke CreateWindowEx,WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,_edit,0,WS_VISIBLE+WS_CHILD+WS_VSCROLL+ES_AUTOVSCROLL+ES_MULTILINE,0,[client.top],150,[client.bottom],[hwnd],0,[hinstance],NULL

a newer api call for a edit box that holds more then 30k chars?
