Zip your full code and executable and attach it here. We'll check. IMHO Windows cannot be corrupted to the point of sabotaging a single edit control.

Pretty much what I posted is the full code ( I was actually testing the dialog box in Visual Studio's resource editor when I noticed the edit box would not except large files. Thats when I came here and asked which edit control properties I should use to enter large files. I then wrote a small program to exhibit the problem when asked for code. ). Its strange because I can cut and paste the files into Wordpad and my programming editor but not my dialog box. I ran "Spybot Search and Destroy" and an anti-virus program on my system and found nothing wrong. Everything else works fine. Very strange...........

This discussion remains abstract unless you post source and executable. In Olly, we can see what the EM_LIMITTEXT message does. Anything else is a waste of time.

Heres the new output with the changes made to the WM_INITDIALOG message handler.

Hope it's not Win9x you're running. The "legacy" controls were 16-bit and limited by that.

Wordpad uses the rich edit control.

If you cannot paste the text into Notepad, then you cannot use the EDIT control.

Is that what EDITTEXT uses?

I think tenkey has found the problem. It may be time to upgrade to XP. :'( Thanks for all the input and advice! :U

Yeah , I'm still using Windows Me ( a free copy a got for filling out a survey from my college book store back in the day - I'm kind of a cheapskate :bg ). I'm running it on fairly modern hardware and it works fine for most things except for the occasional compatibility issue or something like this problem. I'm starting to consider the Windows Xp Pro install disk I have have in my software collection , though....

Be convinced, win9x worked OK long ago but Win2000/XP has a lot more capacity and it is far more robust. You have to do something really bad to trash either where Win9x was relatively easy to crash.
