Re: "edit" control is read only?

Hello John/newsgroups!

I have come down to 3 simple files containing pretty much the minimal
standard code required to get an edit control to work... here is the
actual code... I am still having the problem...Usually when you click
on an edit control, it supposed to automatically get the focus and we
should be able to type text in there! If I may politely ask someone
to take a glimpse at the following code and see why I can't edit the
edit control field by simply clicking on it!
