Hi everyone.
I would like to know how to validate an editbox and how to make work accelerator with command button. I did the relation beetween the accelerator and the button, it doesn't work. Also, my editbox is taking any numbers and i put the condition, maximum 9 digits.

Thanx Gaetan. This is for my work. You have my email for home. could you answer me also at g.emond@nhc.com

Hello,

1. Creating an Accelerator for a button
Thats very easy - just add an ampersand character (&) in front
of the letter from text for the button that you want to work as an
accelerator. Example:
Setting a buttons text to "E&xit" will cause the button to be pressed
by using the shortcut Alt+x

2. Control Editbox changes
Go into class wizard and select the edit box element
within your dialogs class, e.g. IDC_MYEDIT.
Then search for the message EN_CHANGE in the
Messages window and double-click on it.
Class wizard now asks you for a function name.
this function will be called whenever the content
of the edit box is changed.
Within this function you can then make your data
validation.

Ok, thank you Uli but it is working if I clicked on the edit box and then enter my number with the keyboard (notice that the cursor is showed in the dialog box) but if i am not doing that it won't work. Why???????????????
