Security Considerations

Using this message might compromise the security of your program.

Remarks

This message is ignored if the edit control is not a single-line edit control.

If the edit control previously received an EM_NOSETFOCUS message, the edit control will appear to have the focus without actually having it; otherwise, the edit control will receive focus.
