I am creating my textbox with these options. I can Copy / Cut / Paste / Undo, but when I hit Select All it doesn’t select all. I can right click and click Select All but CTRL + A doesn’t do anything. Why?

wnd = CreateWindow("EDIT", 0,     WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_MULTILINE | WS_HSCROLL | WS_VSCROLL | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | ES_AUTOVSCROLL,     x, y, w, h,     parentWnd,     NULL, NULL, NULL);

  1. I tend to use MFC (forgive me) instead of Win32 so I cannot answer this definitively, but I noticed this comment added to a page on an MS site concerning talking with an Edit control (a simple editor within the Edit control):

    The edit control uses WM_CHAR for accepting characters, not WM_KEYDOWN etc. You must Translate() your messages or you ironically won’t be able to edit the text in the edit control.

    I don’t know if this applies to BoltBait’s response, but I suspect it does.
