How to capture keystrokes in a window with a read-only edit control

[NoCforMe]

Goddamnit, JJ. That's just not helpful. "Just Google it", the most lazy-ass suggestion in the world.

Let me tell you what's wrong with your reply:

• Win32.hlp: What is that? Where is that? is it something in the MASM32 package? (Hell, I might have it already for all I know.) Maybe a little context here?
• Have you tried "googling" (hate that verb) FindText? Do you know how many totally irrelevant hits you get with such a non-specific query?
  
  • FindText (AutoHotkey)
  • List.FindText
  • Table.FindText - PowerQuery M
  • FindText | Rhino 3-D Modeling

and on and on.

If you're going to help, then help. Otherwise, please just STFU.

I'm not asking for people to do my homework for me here, just looking to get pointed in the right direction.

"Just Google it", the most lazy-ass suggestion in the world.

So you mean I should google it for you?

Have you tried "googling" (hate that verb) FindText?

No, I tried googling FindText winapi, and found it right on top of the list.

@stoo: Thanks, I had forgotten it was there. I'm not sure whether it's the same version as the one at the Modula link. Anyway, David might have to look for the *.chm version because *.hlp won't run on his machine.

Yep, .hlps don't run here. So where do I get Win32.chm?
(Yes, I know there's a work-around for .hlp files, but I don't have it and don't feel like chasing it down at the moment.)

Well, it IS the Exact same "Modula" version, ...  as I utilised the 'link' you provide to acquire it   
It has ONLY recently been Put there by myself      (as I was 'Updating' an OLD 'links' Page Hutch' had created Ages ago) and was lingering about on the Server, see here:
https://masm32.com/website/index.htm

I will eventually,... sigh, .... Add it to the existing Masm32SDK Web Page.

Hang on a Minute ... or Three .... 
I am pretty sure I already have a Copy loaded on the Server and if Not, it soon Will be 

Stay Tuned,..

And who uses FINDREPLACE?

Well, FindText for one 

Another part of what I need to do here: find a reliable way to determine when a window (in this case an edit control) becomes "active", meaning the user clicks into it.

Could you ask questions that have nothing to do with the thread in a new thread? FWIW, I would have thought WM_ACTIVATE.

Here you go 

Win32.chm
