SUMMARY
There is a file in the Microsoft Software Library called VERIFY.EXE that contains sample code demonstrating the verification of the contents of a dialog box edit control. The code reads and verifies the edit control string as each character is entered by the user.

The contents of the edit control are verified to be legal for a specified data type. If an illegal character is encountered, the character is removed from the edit control and a message beep is generated. The code will verify the input of WORD, DWORD, or FLOAT values.
