Hello,
Here is how you can create an edit control with the Win32 API
EditHWND = The window handle returned by the CreateWindow function
"Edit" = Specific class for the edit control
"Defaul Text" = If you want the edit control to have default text (can be "")
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER = Edit control window style
X = The position X (Left) of the edit control
Y = The position Y (Top) of the edit control
Width = The position width of the edit control
Height = The position height of the edit control
ParenthWnd = The parent dialog window handle
NULL = No menu
hInstance = Handle to the instance of the module to be associated with the window (From WinMain)
NULL = No create structure (lpparam)

It's actually EDIT for CreateWindow(), see:

You can also use CreateWindowEx().

That would only matter if it was case sensetive, but it is not.

ok well I had the win32 class wrapper already I just cant get the edit_box control to work in class form
I'm not that far into my wrapper yet. When I am I will revisit this, but I think you will have solved it by then (this time of the year it will be 2-3 weeks for me to get there, sorry).
