Art covers it comprehensively in his answer. Just go the code for the edit control and plonk your code in the "Whenever modified" section. I have found this useful for all sorts of situations where I want to trap every keystroke in an edit control. If it's not a one-off, ie you want to do something similar for a number of edit controls, just call a procedure in the "Whenever modified" section.

Not sure to understand the request as it is very large

For Edit Controls : use "a chaque modification" code. Your code will be
executed at every keystroke for that field. Just understand that the control
will contain all typed chars even the last one.

if needed, For other cases use shortcuts of buttons or windows events

Hello Rich,
you can also use EVENT together with WM_CHAR.
