I think the problem is in your code. When the line length reaches 62 characters, what is supposed to happen? If wrapping is acceptable, why not disable horizontal scrolling and set the width of the edit control so only 62 characters will fit?

this example is on 5 sings limited per line
I needs this because I contents in a file to write would like which only on 62 signs per line is limited

my problem is
if I backspace press that it 2 signs delete it am only one signs to delete

sorry my english

If you only need the 62 chars per line in the file, why not take the input and format it for 62 chars per line when writing to the file?

Okay, I tried it and saw the problem :wink
Type some characters, then press backspace to delete one and it actually deletes two instead. Except, it seems, at the end of the line (which may simply have something to do with the newline character.)
My first guess would be that when you press backspace, you delete a character from your hot-key handler, but then the edit box also deletes a character because backspace was pressed (and this is what it should do.)
So.. you could filter out the backspace press so the edit box doesn't receive it, but why do you need the hotkey anyway? Just allow the edit box to handle all of the input, and you fix the line length on EN_UPDATE (though you'll have to re-break the line when a character is inserted into the middle of the line.)
