Hi all,
I have a small question regarding setting a breakpoint in softice. I am looking at a a program called Wondersoft Virtual PDF and have tried to set a breakpoint on GetDlgItemText where I receive the dreaded "error symbol not defined"

Looking into this further I gather that it is part of user32.dll and as such have removed the ; from winice.dat to include this file.......it still comes up with the same error when I try using the breakpoint.

Any help on this one would be apprecited

Regards

Have you tried GetDlgItemTextA?
Most comparable functions have an A (ASCII) and W (Widechar) version, so internally they are named differently. I suspect that's what your problem is as well..

Thanks for the reply, kw.

Yep I already tried GetDlgItemTextA and softice failed to break. I tried various other "dlg" related ones also but none of them caused softice to break.

Can you suggest any other breakpoints?
I have tried GetWindowText, GetDlgItemText, GetDlgItemTextA.

The only one that seemed to work was GetWindowText but as far as I can see you will not be able to see the contents of the dialog boxes.....maybe wrong???????
It seems that it is a different type of text field for the username / registration codes.
