GetWindowText(hWnd, pString, nCount) to get the text out of the edit box.
hWnd - Handle of the edit box
pString - Pointer to a char buffer to receive the text
nCount - maximum size of a string that will fit in the buffer
NOTE: You can call GetWindowTextLength(hWnd) to get the size of the buffer you need to hold the text
SetWindowText(hWnd, pString) to set the text in the edit box.
