SUMMARY
Declaring an Edit control with certain styles, and altering the text, may
have undesirable effects. Depending upon whether or not pointers to the
text are passed to other functions, changing the text in place may generate
an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAE).
Declaring an Edit control with any of the following styles, ES_LOWERCASE,
ES_UPPERCASE, or ES_OEMCONVERT, and calling either SetWindowText (hEdt,lpstr) or SetDlgItemText (hDlg, editID, lpstr) alters the string in
place. Calling either one of the previously mentioned functions to alter a
string contained in a code segment, which is labeled PURE in the
corresponding .DEF file, will result in a UAE.
