C++ GetSel

[LarryM]

Help!

My simple C++ dialog application runs, but I cannot seem to get 'GetSel' to return a valid 'nStartChar' when I click in the middle of a 10-character string in the edit box known as IDC_EDIT1.

void CEditDlg::OnEnSetfocusEdit1()
{ CEdit* pmyEdit = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);
int nStartChar, nEndChar;
nStartChar = 1024;
pmyEdit->GetSel(nStartChar, nEndChar);
exit(nStartChar);
}

I expect a 5 but get a 0.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Larry

void CEditDlg::OnEnSetfocusEdit1()
{ CEdit* pmyEdit = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);

int *nStartChar, *nEndChar;

nStartChar = 1024;
pmyEdit->GetSel(nStartChar, nEndChar);
exit(nStartChar);
}
