Windows Interface Reference: Edit structure

# Edit

The Edit structure contains styles and notifications for Edit windows. Edit windows provide simple ways of entering and editing text. Single line edit controls are frequently used in dialogue boxes to allow strings to be entered. Multiple line edit windows can be used as simple text editors. Specialised edit window messages begin with EM_. The values from the Notification substructure are sent as the code parameter in a WM_NOTIFY message.
