Title: overstrike mode in Windows API
Post by: tpekar on September 23, 2014, 10:55:03 PM

Seems like an easy enough question.  But for some reason I can't seem to figure out how to do it.  The default is insert mode.  How can I toggle between insert and overstrike mode?

Press the Insert key.  :)

I think I need to refraise the question.  I am looking for perhaps a message I can send to place a control into overstrike mode when the user enters it.

How about this?

Code: [Select]

FORWARD_WM_CHAR(hEdit, VK_INSERT, 0, SNDMSG);
