Hello



I am using Windows API. I have 2 edit controls in the dialog box.

I get HWND for each edit control using:

  edit_1_hwnd = GetDlgItem(parent_hwnd,  3);
  edit_1_hwnd = GetDlgItem(parent_hwnd, 4);



The cursor can be in any edit box at any position.



I need to know where the cursor is in edit 1 or in edit 2.

Then I will use

SendMessage (edit_1_hwnd, EM_GETSEL, (UINT)&start, (UINT)&end);

or

SendMessage (edit_2_hwnd, EM_GETSEL, (UINT)&start, (UINT)&end);

to get cursor position.



I tried GetFocus() unsuccessfully



Thank you

Rony
