Re: Space characters is CEdit.

Have you tried what Jonathan was suggesting. It is very simple:

#pragma once
// CReplaceEdit
class CReplaceEdit : public CEdit
{
DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CReplaceEdit)

public:
CReplaceEdit();
virtual ~CReplaceEdit();

protected:
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
public:
  afx_msg void OnEnUpdate();
  void GetWindowText(CString &rString);
private:
  TCHAR m_FromChar;
  TCHAR m_ToChar;
};

// ReplaceEdit.cpp : implementation file
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "ReplaceEdit.h"

// CReplaceEdit
IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CReplaceEdit, CEdit)
CReplaceEdit::CReplaceEdit()
: m_FromChar(' ') //replace all spaces with
, m_ToChar('_') //underscore char
{
}

CReplaceEdit::~CReplaceEdit()
{
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CReplaceEdit, CEdit)
  ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(EN_UPDATE, OnEnUpdate)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

// CReplaceEdit message handlers

void CReplaceEdit::OnEnUpdate()
{
  DWORD dwPos = GetSel() & 0xFFFF; // The current cursor position

  CString Text;
  CEdit::GetWindowText(Text);

  if (Text.Replace(m_FromChar,m_ToChar) > 0)
  {
     CEdit::SetWindowText(Text);
     SetSel(dwPos, dwPos, FALSE); // Just to not confuse the user ;-)
  }

}

void CReplaceEdit::GetWindowText(CString &rString)
{
  CEdit::GetWindowText(rString);
  rString.Replace(m_ToChar,m_FromChar);
}
