help with the edit box/Input Box

Question

I created a simple dialog with a label and edit box, then created a class, CInputDlg, added member variables for the label and edit box, and called it

CInputDlg dialog
dialog.m_label = TEXT("Enter a number:");
if (dialog.DoModal() == IDOK) {
  // Do something
}

Now how do I display the text which is entered into the edit box?

Answer 1

Try WM_GETTEXT

Answer 2

In the Handler for the OK button on the Dialog, you should get the TextBox.GetText(), and put it back into a public CString member m_InputString. Then, from the calling function, you can read dialog.m_InputString.
