I don't believe there is a method of CEdit that will do this explicitly, but you could write a method yourself.

 char  CEdit::GetCharByIndex(int nIndex)
{
  CString  wndText;
  GetWindowText(wndText);

  ASSERT ( nIndex < wndText.GetLength() );

  return ( wndText.GetAt(nIndex) );
}

That's all off the top of my head. YMMV. :)
