As you see below, this is part of the dialog procedure of a dialog, obviously. I need the main source code to access IDC_MAINEDIT which is the name of the edit in the dialog. The idea is to set it blank, but right now its not recognizing with this error: error C2664: 'SetWindowTextA' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const int' to 'struct HWND__ *' Any idea on this?


					case IDR_FILENEW: 
						{
							if (MessageBox(NULL, "Are you sure you want to make a new document?", "New Document",
								MB_ICONQUESTION | MB_YESNO) == IDYES)
							{
									SetWindowText(IDC_MAINEDIT, "");
							}
						}
						break;

try this function.

As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced that a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you and I promise you right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is - I collect your f***ing head.

anytime you see a HWND vs int error, you can always count on the menu and dialog functions. just a rule of thumb with Win32.
