    If you want to set text using chars then you can use SetWindowTextA so you don’t need to bother with multibyte to/from wide characters.

    I suggest the Programming Windows book by Charles Petzold.

    You say hwnd is your parent then you could create the edit controls with default text like:

    HWND hedit=CreateWindow(TEXT("EDIT"),TEXT("Default window text"),WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 0,0,400,300,hwnd,0,0,0);
    

    Read up on the docs for CreateWindow at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632679(v=vs.85).aspx
