Hi there, I have been following Iczelion's tutorials (translating it to 64 along the way) and I've come across the Dialog Boxes. But I have a strange problem (shown in the screenshot below).

I am posting my exact source code, please help me, I have been sitting over this forever and the damn tutorial even just copy-pasted has the exact same issue.

In case the screenshot doesn't make it clear - the "window" has no borders, cannot be closed, the second editbox and button are just unclickable ghosts... It's just weird

You are not returning false or true. My suggestion is that you follow the model in the FASM package and read a little bit on MSDN.

Your styles might also be messed up. Use defined styles i.e(WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW) not numeric ones unless you memorized them all.

Ha, return of 0 did the trick, I can't believe it!

I'll take the advice to heart, I was just trying to save some space. Thanks a lot

I can't figure out how to check for the EN_UPDATE notification code.

I have my code something like this:

Code:

  cmp          [wMsg], WM_COMMAND
  je           .Message_Command

.Message_Command:
  ;
  ; IDI_EDITBOX is the ID of the EditBox for which I want the EN_UPDATE
  ;
  cmp          [wParam], EN_UPDATE shl 8 or IDI_EDITBOX 
  je           .Command_EditBoxUpdate

Am I doing it wrong? The "shl 8 or" business works for checking if a button was clicked, but this notification isn't firing at all. I wouldn't be asking if I didn't already try all I could think of.

"shl 16" should fix it.

Laughing

button click works because BN_CLICKED is 0, so no matter where you SHL it - it is matching!

I'm glad you're laughing at my problems, this was only the beginning. By the way, I could swear I tried shifting by 16 before and it did nothing. It's like when you can't find something in your drawer and your mother finds it without any problem.
