Why is edit control message output so many times?

[hotrod]

The message connected to the edit control is output twice when loading and twice when clicked on, why and how correct? See attached. Thanks...


Thisa forum is not a paid help desk but it is a reference source so please do not treat it like that. I have removed the [SOLVED] tag and ask that it not be done again. !!!!

The two message send at creation are EN_UPDATE and EN_CHANGE. When you click inside the edit the EN_SETFOCUS message is send. Through theMessageBox the control lost the focus -> EN_KILLFOCUS.

Thanks qWord, it's working now. Got a question though, Is your operating system really 64 bit (qWord)? I am still running on 8.

really? - I'm sure you meant 32bit.  :bg
Currently I'm using both, 32 and 64bit OS (Vista...) - usage: 99% 32bit, 1% 64bit (only for development) .

Just kidding about your use of qWord as username. I was considering Windows 7, but they need to spend a few months getting the busgs out and producing drivers that will work with it. I don't want to destroy my XP which hasn't given me any problems for a nightmare. Thanks for your help.
