Selecting Edit Field Text upon Click

[stupomer]

When I actually tried this, I got bad RT error that closes the dialog:

Exception 0xC00000FD. A new guard page for the stack cannot be created. In ntdll.dll at 0x76EFE04E (0x76ED0000+0x2E04E). ?

But then I saw that this exact issue was already addressed in forum:

Edit box receives mouse button message after EN_SETFOCUS. You can PostMessage hDlg WM_APP 0 0, and on WM_APP (which must be in the first sel) set selection. Posted message arrives after the control receives mouse button message.

Easier way - use simple combo instead.

So, as suggested using Simple ComboBox this would be the easier and more effective way of getting this exact functionality (it turns out the internet url acts like a simple combo box too, so very appropriate suggestion by Gintaras from this other thread post. If I need to to do it for rich edit, I will set up the WM_APP asynchronous method, but this works for most of my dialogs very easily - and easy to setwintext/getwintext strings from simple combo box field without having to use CB_ functions.

Function Dialog8

Code:
