Try this handy macro.
Code: [Select]
#define Refresh(hwnd) RedrawWindow((hwnd), NULL, NULL, \
    RDW_ERASE|RDW_INVALIDATE|RDW_UPDATENOW)

Use it as follows:

Code: [Select]
Edit_SetText(hwndCtl,"Refresh Me");
Refresh(hwndCtl);
No one cares how much you know,
until they know how much you care.

Thanks.

But i find in Pelles C includes and not "see" that method in headers defenition PellesC\Include *.h

If possible - How apply(include) this method (compiler error :
POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_Refresh'.
POLINK: fatal error: 1 unresolved external(s).)

Thanks.

You must use that 1.st macro what DMac gives.

This might help too:
Code: [Select]
InvalidateRect(hwndCtl, NULL, TRUE);
