Hi all . could any one show me how i can copy the text that i just wrote in paltalk edit box before sending it to main by pressing for example F1. After sending F1 i want to use word to do spell check over it. i have already done it for vb6 edit box but not sure how to do it for paltalk. Hope some one help me.Thanks

Code: Select all

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Dim objWord As Object
Dim objDoc  As Object
Dim strResult As String        'Create a new instance of word Application
Set objWord = CreateObject("word.Application")
Select Case objWord.Version        'Office 2000
Case "9.0"
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(, , 1, True)        'Office XP
Case "10.0"
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add(, , 1, True)
'Office 97
Case Else ' Office 97
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add
End Select
objDoc.Content = Text1.Text
objDoc.CheckSpelling
strResult = Left(objDoc.Content, Len(objDoc.Content) - 1)
If Text1.Text = strResult Then        ' There were no spelling errors, so give the user a
' visual signal that something happened
MsgBox "The spelling check is complete.", vbInformation + vbOKOnly
End If        'Clean up
objDoc.Close False
Set objDoc = Nothing
objWord.Application.Quit True
Set objWord = Nothing     ' Replace the selected text with the corrected text.It 's important that    ' this be done after the "Clean Up" because otherwise there are problems    ' with the screen not repainting
Text1.Text = strResult
Exit Sub
End Sub

For plain text WM_GETTEXT message should work. How to set the text back with the original color I am not sure. I am guessing EM_REPLACESEL message but never tried it.
On how to find the edit control, you'll have to look in code examples or programs code posted on this board.

chike i am not worried abut the text color . So could your or any one else show me how to copy paltalk editbox typed text and send it to word for spell checking and paste back the final text? i don't know how to use WM_GETTEXT!!
