WM_SETTEXT (Windows CE 5.0)
This message is sent by an application to set the window text.
WM_SETTEXT wParam= 0;lParam=(LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)lpsz;
Parameters
- lpsz
Long pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the window text.
Return Values
The return value is TRUE if the text is set. It is FALSE (for an edit control), LB_ERRSPACE (for a list box), or CB_ERRSPACE (for a combo box) if insufficient space is available to set the text in the edit control. It is CB_ERR if this message is sent to a combo box without an edit control.
- Default Action
The DefWindowProc function sets and displays the window text.
Remarks
For an edit control, the text is the contents of the edit control. For a combo box, the text is the contents of the edit-control portion of the combo box. For a button, the text is the button name. For other windows, the text is the window title.
This message does not change the current selection in the list box of a combo box. An application should use the CB_SELECTSTRING message to select the item in a list box that matches the text in the edit control.
The DefWindowProc function returns zero for this message.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Winuser.h.
