hai,
I have one doubt.
Even though the text in Russian that I am typing in a textbox is displaying correctly when I did a WM_GETTEXT, the text in the char array is not showing the same characters. What I need to do to get it correctly?,
Thanks in advance…..

Is it UNICODE build? Are you using VC++ 6.0?
If yes, THIS FAQ (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=326350) may help you.

CHAR szQuery[SIZE_256]={0};

HWND hwndEdit = GetDlgItem ( hwnd, IDC_DBNAME );

SendMessage ( hwndEdit, WM_GETTEXT, SIZE_64, (LPARAM)szdbName );

CHAR szQuery[SIZE_256]={0};

HWND hwndEdit = GetDlgItem ( hwnd, IDC_DBNAME );

SendMessage ( hwndEdit, WM_GETTEXT, SIZE_64, (LPARAM)szdbName );

In the debugger both "hwnd" and "hwndEdit" have valid address of windows ?

What is the size of "szdbName" ?

Sorry..thought you were just getting junk in you return from the SendMessage()...I can only guess from here as I have not done anything but in english...There are some others here that do have that experience so I will bow to them...as I don't want to guess and send you down the wrong path...:blush:
