Question and Answer Database FAQ959C.txt Ridding TEdit control of extraneous characters Category :OWL Platform :All Product :BC++ 5.x Question: I'm having a problem with input fields using a windows dialog. The input length and end of data is filled with extraneous characters I don't know where they're coming from. I'm using GetText and SetText as well as Pfname = new TEdit(this,IDC_NAME,35 + 1); Pfname->SetText(this->record1.buff[0].pfname); Pfname->GetText(record1.buff[0].pfname,35 + 1); Answer: OWL uses the Windows function GetWindowText(), which doesn't set the trailing '\0'. You have to set it manually, using the number of chars actually read (returned by GetText()). 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
