bedit Is Better Than hedit

People prefer to write in the relatively unrestricted space of an hedit control, but the bedit control offers better recognition accuracy. The comb and box guides of a bedit also serve as discreet prompts, informing the user that the application awaits written input.

If saving screen space is important, consider using a lens instead of a bedit. Always create a single-line edit control with ES_AUTOHSCROLL so it shows a lens button.
