To all you window gurus,


A recent program I have written uses an edit child windows as a cursor which 
accepts input from the user whenever  a alphanum key is pressed. And the 
child window then returns focus to the main program once 
the return key is pressed (via subclassing).

The problem is that I have been trying to retrieve the input string from 
the child window with :-

	SendMessage(hWndCursor,EM_GETLINE,0,stringbuffer);

where 'hWndCursor' is the childwindow
where the hiword to 'stringbuffer' is a pointer to ->  char string[80];
and the loword of 'stringbuffer' is the lenght of string to be retrieved.

The problem is that I've been getting garbage when trying to retrieve 
stuff from string[80]??

Has anybody got any suggestions.
