How can I emulate a change inCEdit? 1

[firelex]

Hello, all!
I have a dialog with a CEdit ([tt]IDC_START_FILTER[/tt]) in it.
also dialog has a message handling method:

ON_EN_CHANGE(IDC_START_FILTER, OnChangeStartFilter)

How can I emulate that something has been typed in IDC_START_FILTER to make the procedure [tt]OnChangeStartFilter();[/tt] be called?
The message [tt]EN_CHANGE[/tt] is got by the paranet window, isn't it?
So I tried

SendMessage(EN_CHANGE, IDC_START_FILTER, (LPARAM)GetDlgItem(IDC_START_FILTER)->m_hWnd);

It causes nothing.

try yourEdit->SetWindowText("something");

it is not an emulation, but it should work
Doesn't it go somehow with messages?

if you want just an emulation send the message not to your edit but to the directly dialog. Else you may send WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP/WM_CHAR to your edit and the edit will generate some messages for the parent dialog window.
