Hi All, Does anyone have an example of how to get user input text and write it or save it? in WM_KEYDOWN how can I get the actual char that is pressed? thx

The VK code for alpha keys is the same as the ASCII code. Check if shift/capslock is down to see if you need to add <someone plz do the math for me> to the code.

You can always make a "EDIT" class window.

hEditWindow= CreateWindow(TEXT ("edit"), TEXT ("My Input Window"),WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_BORDER|ES_MULTILINE|ES_LEFT|ES_NOHIDESEL,CW_USEDEFAULT,CW_USEDEFAULT,CW_USEDEFAULT,CW_USEDEFAULT,hWnd,NULL,hInstance,NULL);

than you can just send messages to it with the WNDPROC
