It works well, thank you so much!
#4
If the text is too long, only the text before the insertion point is selected

I am not sure what you mean. all text is selected when controls gets focus
#6
Click in the edit box to bring it into focus

@Kevin
I also found a problem:
I added the EM_SETCUEBANNER code, but the first edit box is not displayed by default, need to move the mouse pointer to display, is there a solution?
