Hi There I am honored to be the first to post a message to this new newsgroup.  The fact that nobody else has since it's creation makes me worried any one 
will read this but Here Goes ...

I have been programming with PM and Microsoft C for the past few weeks.

I have a window with a dialog box. This box has about 12 entry field controls
and same number of static text controls.  I want to be able to click on an
entry field and have the contents of the clipboard be copied into the same 
entry field that has just been clicked on.  I thought this would be easy.

After all there is WinSendDlgItem with EM_PASTE message. as in:

		case EntryFieldNumber:

		WinSendDlgItem(EntryFieldNumber, EM_PASTE, NULL,NULL);
		break;

However this always writes the contents of the clipboard twice to the same entry field and then clears the clipboard.

I have tried all sorts of ways to get around this nothing is working right or
sensibly.   D

Does anyone out there have an answer or a friend at Microsoft with the answer??


Any help or reply would be appreciated.  


Thanks a lot
