Overview
The EDITTEXT statement can be used as part of the body of a dialog resource specification. It is a specific method of specifying a text area in which a user can enter and edit text. The text control is a rectangle of the specified dimensions.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
EDITTEXT id, x, y, width, height, [style], [extended-style]
Parameters
id
The control identifier. This value must be a 16-bit unsigned integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or -1 (same as 0xFFFF or 65535). Except for -1, control identifiers must be unique. Duplicate control values for the same dialog page will result in an error. id is used to access the control within dialog procedures. A value of -1 is typically used for legends and other static controls and cannot be used for controls that require programmatic access.
x
The X coordinate in dialog units of the left side of the control relative to the left side of the dialog box. This value must be a 16-bit unsigned integer in the range 0 through 65,535. Use caution when overlaying controls.
y
The Y coordinate in dialog units of the top side of the control relative to the top of the dialog box. This value must be a 16-bit unsigned integer in the range 0 through 65,535. Use caution when overlaying controls.
width
The width of the control. This value must be a 16-bit unsigned integer in the range 1 through 65,535. The width is in 1/4-character units.
height
The height of the control. This value must be a 16-bit unsigned integer in the range 1 through 65,535. The height is in 1/8-character units.
style
An optional predefined name or literal integer value that specifies the style of the control. By default, the style is ES_LEFT | WS_BORDER | WS_TABSTOP.
extended-style
An optional extended window style. The style parameter must be specified in order to specify extended-style. For more information, see EXSTYLE.
Remarks
Edit text controls provide means for the user to type and edit text information within a dialog. The control displays a cursor when the user clicks the mouse in it. The user can then use the keyboard to enter text or edit the existing text. Editing keys include the Backspace and Delete keys. The user can also use the mouse to select characters to be deleted or to select the place to insert new characters.
This statement is the equivalent of using the CONTROL statement with the “edit” class and the ES_LEFT style.
