[comp.windows.ms.programmer] What's wrong with SetDlgItemText

lwallace@javelin.es.com (Lynn Wallace) (02/24/91)

I use this function frequently in my WM_INITDIALOG portion but in setting the
text of one edit control, it terminates my application.  So I shelled out $70
for a secondary monitor and ran CVW on it, and IT reported "Application
terminated normally" after I execute the function call!  Does anyone know under
what conditions SetDlgItemText() may do this?

Windows 3.0 SDK:  I am not impressed.

Pretty heavy duty expense to test a funtion call.. :-)

SetDlgItemText() is simply an alias for SetWindowText().  Make sure the
dialog box you are using has been exported, etc.  Codeview sometimes
has trouble when I don't trace thru at least one line of code before 
running until a break point.  Never has any other problems though.

I am!  ( :-) - for those in the know)
