In my own code, I use a keyDown handler that, after it has checked for Clear, Left, Right, Up, Down, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown, and backSpace does:
1.) a TE can't handle even 32767 characters. Pick a smaller maximum. 2.) You don't need to lock a teHandle to assign to if from simple variables. 3.) Rarely do HLock() xxx HUnlock(). What if it were already locked on entry? You should use HGetState(); HLock(); xxx HSetState(); 4.) Don't assign to selEnd. Use TESetSelection() 5.) You also have to resize the actual hText text handle with SetHandleSize()
