Has anyone succeeded in creating edit controls that have their own data
segment?  (I'm talking about edit control windows, not the controls inside
dialog boxes.)  
I have some examples from MS Online on how to do this, and I 
can almost get it to work, except... The problem is that when I try to 
subclass the edit control, and try to use EM_GETHANDLE, EM_SETHANDLE, they
dont seem to work.  I think thats because they are looking in the wrong
segment for the buffer handle, but I'm not sure.

This is the big snag in the program that I'm working on, so if anyone has
anyu suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Alex Zeltser
