      Thanks for all the replies guys

      I did have this workind by looking for the EN_SETFOCUS on my mainform to
    detect the selection on the edit, trouble is in my app, my controls are all
    layed out on panels, and for some reason, the WM_COMMAND message does get
    sent to the form when you put the edit on a panel.

      ggggrrrrrrrr

      any ideas?????
