You’re not clear in what your goal is.

If you are doing your own GUI elements then you will need to capture the key events in the message loop and build the string yourself. That includes processing backspace, arrows, ctrl, etc. Also you need to do the display of the inputted text and the caret yourself.

Windows can't do that for you because it doesn't know what your requirements are.
