• Visual C++ Notification on Text change for Windows Control

  Hello, I have a question in SDK windows programming. I have a window control, implemented as an editable control for user to enter text.

Lots of people seem to be spending a lot of time stripping down the existing templates to get to this sort of minimal state.
