hey

i want to know how to code a editbox which can hold multiple strings in a row.
i already checked the option multiple lines, but i want them in a row
i mean this

string1
string2
...
string10

i have read something about EM_REPLACESEL and EM_REPLACESE, but it doesnt not work for me. the string are still at the first line, and it when calling the second string it will replace the first one
i used this code to set the cursor to the next line

Invoke SendMessage, hEditBox, EM_REPLACESEL, TRUE, Addr CRLF ; defined in .const: CRLF	db 13,10

or

Invoke SendMessage, hEditBox, EM_REPLACESEL, TRUE, Addr CRLF

An Edit control is a single line control by default.

Using CreateWindow:

    invoke  CreateWindowEx,
                WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
                offset szWndClsEdit,
                NULL,
                WS_CHILD or WS_VISIBLE or WS_TABSTOP \
                or ES_MULTILINE or ES_WANTRETURN or WS_VSCROLL,
                5, 5,
                200,200,
                hWin,
                NULL,
                hInst,
                NULL

You need to use the ES_MULTILINE and ES_WANTRETURN to make the control multi-line. The WS_VSCROLL adds a Vertical scroll bar.

Sounds like you are using a resource editor? So it would be like this:
Multiline == TRUE
WantCR == TRUE
ScrollBar == Vertical

With ES_WANTRETURN, when you type something and hit return, the caret will go to the next line.

yes im using a resource editor. i did what you suggest but it is still not working for me.
dont know why but this i got (1001 is editbox)

.elseif eax==WM_COMMAND 
      	mov eax,wParam 

.ifeax == 1003

invoke SetDlgItemText, hWin,1001, Offset string
	Invoke SendMessage, 1001, EM_REPLACESEL, TRUE, Addr CRLF

Does your string contain Carrage Return/Linefeeds (ASCII 13, 10)? If not, then your string will be on one line. It does not automagically get put on multiple lines.
Does your string look similar to this:

string      db  "string1 string2  ... string10", 0

or similar to this:

string      db  "string1", 13, 10, "string2", 13, 10, ..., 13, 10, "string10", 0

Show the string you are trying to use.

[Latias]

its defined as

string db "string1", 13, 10,0
string2 db "string2", 13, 10,0

I just realized what you are doing wrong. What is wrong with this:

Invoke SendMessage, 1001, EM_REPLACESEL, TRUE, Addr CRLF

Do you see it? What is the first parameter of SendMessage? It is the handle of the window to send the message to NOT the control ID!

I am also unsure exactly what you are trying to do, maybe explain a bit better.

This is what I used as a test:

.data
string1         db  "string1", 13, 10, 0
string2         db  "string2", 13, 10, 0
string3         db  "string3", 13, 10, 0
string4         db  "string4", 13, 10, 0
string5         db  "string5", 13, 10, 0
string6         db  "string6", 13, 10, 0

StringTable     dd  offset string1, offset string2, offset string3, offset string4, offset string5, offset string6

.data?
hEdit               dd ?

.code
...
...
...
.if eax==WM_INITDIALOG
		invoke  GetDlgItem, hDlg, IDC_EDIT
		mov     hEdit, eax

	.elseif eax==WM_COMMAND
        mov		edx,wParam
		movzx	eax,dx
		shr		edx,16
		.if edx==BN_CLICKED
			.if eax==IDC_BUTTON
                xor     ebx, ebx
                lea     esi, StringTable
        AddStrings:
                invoke 	SendMessage, hEdit, EM_SETSEL, -1, -1                      ;move caret to end of text
			    invoke 	SendMessage, hEdit, EM_REPLACESEL, FALSE, [esi + 4 * ebx]  ;append the new text
			    invoke 	SendMessage, hEdit, EM_SCROLLCARET, NULL, NULL             ;scroll down if needed
                inc     ebx
                cmp     ebx, 5
                jna     AddStrings
		    .endif 
        .endif

and the output:
