Thank you very much, grumpy.

I have this code now:

 cpp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if(GetOpenFileName(&ofn))
	{
		strcpy(Buffer, szFileName);
		return Buffer[MAX_PATH];
		// MessageBox(0, Buffer, 0, 0);
		// SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_EDITBOX_TEXT), LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)"test"); 
	}
if(GetOpenFileName(&ofn))
	{
		strcpy(Buffer, szFileName);
		return Buffer[MAX_PATH];
		// MessageBox(0, Buffer, 0, 0);
		// SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_EDITBOX_TEXT), LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)"test"); 
	}

 cpp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
case IDB_BROWSEBUTTON:
{
       switch (HIWORD(wParam))
       {
               case BN_CLICKED:
               {     
                       Buffer[MAX_PATH] = DoFileOpen(hWnd);
                       SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_EDITBOX_TEXT), LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)Buffer); 
                       // MessageBox(0, Buffer, 0, 0);
               }
               break;
        }  
        break; 
}
break;
case IDB_BROWSEBUTTON:
{
       switch (HIWORD(wParam))
       {
               case BN_CLICKED:
               {     
                       Buffer[MAX_PATH] = DoFileOpen(hWnd);
                       SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_EDITBOX_TEXT), LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)Buffer); 
                       // MessageBox(0, Buffer, 0, 0);
               }
               break;
        }  
        break; 
}
break;

The MessageBox() in the second code example displays the path that I select in my browse function. If I change IDC_EDITBOX_TEXT to IDC_LISTBOX_TEXT, the message is received just fine. It displays the path in the listbox. This is fine, this is wonderful, this is dandy, but this is not what I want. I want to put the string into my editbox, and for some reason, SendMessage() fails on doing this. (I think)

Here is my editbox code:

 cpp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
hWndEditBox = CreateWindow(
            "EDIT", 
            "<type a file name here>", 
            WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER,
            10, 
            10, 
            700, 
            30, 
            hWnd, 
            (HMENU)IDC_EDITBOX_TEXT, 
            (HINSTANCE)GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_HINSTANCE), 
            NULL);
 
            HFONT AhFont = (HFONT)GetStockObject( DEFAULT_GUI_FONT );
            SendMessage( hWndEditBox, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)AhFont, TRUE );
hWndEditBox = CreateWindow(
            "EDIT", 
            "<type a file name here>", 
            WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER,
            10, 
            10, 
            700, 
            30, 
            hWnd, 
            (HMENU)IDC_EDITBOX_TEXT, 
            (HINSTANCE)GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_HINSTANCE), 
            NULL);

            HFONT AhFont = (HFONT)GetStockObject( DEFAULT_GUI_FONT );
            SendMessage( hWndEditBox, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)AhFont, TRUE );

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks again.
