subject: Search an MLE

I'am having a prob searching for text in an MLE, I'am using the code
from the Toolkit under searching an MLE but it does not work (for me
:-<).

here is the code to get the text from the find dialog

WinQueryDlgItemText( hwnd, 
                                IDD_DISPLAYEDITFINDDATA,    // id of entry field 
                                sizeof(szSearchString),
                                szSearchString);                    //
string length is CCHMAXPATH
                                                                         
// and the string is a global variable

this is the code to search the MLE for the text

mlesrch.cb = sizeof(mlesrch);
mlesrch.pchFind = szSearchString;
mlesrch.pchReplace = NULL;
mlesrch.cchFind = 0 ;
mlesrch.cchReplace = 0;
mlesrch.iptStart = -1;
mlesrch.iptStop = -1;

WinSendDlgItemMsg( hwnd,
                             IDD_DISPLAYEDITTEXTDATA,   // id of MLE
                             MLM_SEARCH,
                             MPFROMLONG( MLFSEARCH_SELECTMATCH ),
                             MPFROMP(&mlesrch)))


I would also like to know if I can display text in different colors in
an MLE.
