    de-bugging code that uses %EM_GETSEL

    Hi, I'm sure there's a win32api expert out there who can fix the bug in my code. Simply stated, when the user highlights (selects) a portion of text in a TEXTBOX, then clicks a button, I want to be able to isolate the highlighted text. I know it's GetSel(), but I can't figure out the exact implementation. Here's what I got so far....
    Thanks, Christopher

    Code:
    #COMPILER PBWIN
    #INCLUDE "Win32api.inc"
    
    CALLBACK FUNCTION GetSelButton()
          DIM lResult AS DWORD
          DIM x AS DWORD PTR
          DIM y AS DWORD PTR
          DIM FullText AS STRING
          CONTROL GET TEXT CBHNDL, 500 TO FullText
          lResult = SendMessage(500, %EM_GETSEL, x, y)
          MSGBOX "selected text is: " + MID$(FullText, @x, @x - @y)
    END FUNCTION
    
    CALLBACK FUNCTION ExitButton()
        DIALOG END CBHNDL, 0
    END FUNCTION
    
    FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
        DIM hDlg AS DWORD
        DIM lResult AS DWORD
        DIALOG NEW PIXELS,0,"GetSel() example",,,200,150,0,0 TO hDlg
        CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX,hDlg,500,"",30,30,150,50,0
        CONTROL ADD BUTTON,hDlg,501,"Exit",150,110,40,20,0 CALL ExitButton
        CONTROL ADD BUTTON,hDlg,502,"Show Selected Text",20,110,120,20,0 CALL GetSelButton
        DIALOG SHOW MODAL hDlg
    END FUNCTION

    Hi Christopher,

    Several small problems here in fact. But first, here's a version that works:
    Code:
    #COMPILER PBWIN
    #INCLUDE "Win32api.inc"
    
    DECLARE FUNCTION SendMessage_ByRef LIB "user32" ALIAS "SendMessageA" (BYVAL hWnd AS DWORD, BYVAL dwMsg AS DWORD, wParam AS DWORD, lParam AS DWORD) AS LONG
    
    CALLBACK FUNCTION GetSelButton()
       DIM lResult AS DWORD
       DIM x AS DWORD
       DIM y AS DWORD
       DIM FullText AS STRING
       DIM hControl AS DWORD
    
       CONTROL GET TEXT CBHNDL, 500 TO FullText
    
       ' We need the control's handle, not its ID, so...
       CONTROL HANDLE CBHNDL, 500 TO hControl
    
       ' Method using original SendMessage declare in WIN32API.INC
       ' Change conditional compile to use other method
       #IF 1
          lResult = SendMessage(hControl, %EM_GETSEL, x, y)
          ' Returned values are zero-based, we need them one-based for MID$
          x = LO(WORD, lResult) + 1
          y = HI(WORD, lResult) + 1
          IF x = y THEN
             MSGBOX "No selection"
          ELSE
             MSGBOX "Using lResult, selected text is: " & MID$(FullText, x, y - x)
          END IF
       #ELSE
          ' Method using ByRef declaration of SendMessage, so we can get values back in wParam and lParam
          lResult = SendMessage_ByRef(hControl, %EM_GETSEL, x, y)
          IF x = y THEN
             MSGBOX "No selection"
          ELSE
             INCR x : INCR y
             MSGBOX "Using X, Y, selected text is: " & MID$(FullText, x, y - x)
          END IF
       #ENDIF
    END FUNCTION
    
    CALLBACK FUNCTION ExitButton()
       DIALOG END CBHNDL, 0
    END FUNCTION
    
    FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
       DIM hDlg AS DWORD
       DIM lResult AS DWORD
       DIALOG NEW PIXELS,0,"GetSel() example",,,200,150,0,0 TO hDlg
       CONTROL ADD TEXTBOX,hDlg,500,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",30,30,150,50,0
       CONTROL ADD BUTTON,hDlg,501,"Exit",150,110,40,20,0 CALL ExitButton
       CONTROL ADD BUTTON,hDlg,502,"Show Selected Text",20,110,120,20,0 CALL GetSelButton
       DIALOG SHOW MODAL hDlg
    END FUNCTION
    First problem was, you were sending the message to the control's ID, instead of to its handle - hence the CONTROL HANDLE statement, which gets the one from the other.

    Second problem is that SendMessage is declared (in WIN32API.INC) to send wParam and lParam ByVal - so any changes to them won't get back to you. This means you have a choice - either use the result of the function, which contains the same values in its low and high words as wParam and lParam respectively, or, redeclare SendMessage so that it sends those parameters ByRef. Both methods are shown in the code.

    Third, the wParam and lParam aren't pointers when you get them back - they're just plain DWORDs.

    Lastly, you were subtracting the end from the start, rather than vice-versa.

    Isn't this API stuff fun??

    Hope that helps.

    Regards,

    Pete.

      Sticking with DDT..
      Code:
            DIM x AS DWORD
            DIM y AS DWORD
            DIM FullText AS STRING
            CONTROL GET TEXT CBHNDL, 500 TO FullText
            CONTROL SEND CBHNDL, 500, %EM_GETSEL, VARPTR(x), VARPTR(y)
            MSGBOX "selected text is: " + MID$(FullText, x+1, y - x)

        Pete, Dave,
        Thanks, those were the (fast) answers I was hoping for. I actually was trying to translate some VB/.NET stuff into PB/Win.

          As Peter stated, basically you tried to access an invalid memory location.

          I added my error handler and numbered your code, and it boiled down to
          Trace Begins...
          Unhandled WindowsException - 3221225477 - ACCESS VIOLATION <---> The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access
          Function = PBMAIN()
          GETSELBUTTON()
          TRACEEXCEPTIONHANDLER(<04>ö<12><00> ö<12><00>)
          at line: 0

          TRACEPRINT Exit
          Your original code and my error handler are as follows:
          Original Code (slightly modified):
          Code:
          #COMPILER PBWIN
          #TOOLS OFF
          #INCLUDE "Win32api.inc"
          #INCLUDE "ErrorHandling.inc"
          
          CALLBACK FUNCTION GetSelButton()
          20      DIM lResult AS DWORD
          21      DIM x AS DWORD PTR
          22      DIM y AS DWORD PTR
          23      DIM FullText AS STRING
          24      CONTROL GET TEXT CBHNDL, 500 TO FullText
          25      lResult = SendMessage(500, %EM_GETSEL, x, y)
          26      MSGBOX "selected text is: " + MID$(FullText, @x, @x - @y)
          END FUNCTION
          
          CALLBACK FUNCTION ExitButton()
          20    DIALOG END CBHNDL, 0
          END FUNCTION
          
          FUNCTION PBMAIN () AS LONG
               StartTrace

          25    CONTROL ADD BUTTON,hDlg,502,"Show Selected Text",20,110,120,20,0 CALL GetSelButton
