I can't answer your first question on using ReadComm, but I can help on the edit field questions. First, you can send text to the Edit field by using SendMesssage(WM_CHAR). Nice how that works (and surprising, too, knowing some of what Microsoft has done...). You can subclass the edit field to filter input messages -- basically, you substitute your own window proc that handles some messages and passes the rest to the regular edit field processing. I have a sample program that does this (creating a numeric-only edit field); e-mail me for a copy, or if there is demand I can post it. --Bill Turner (bturner@hp-pcd) HP Corvallis Workstation Operation
