Unfortunately, you can't make it so that when text is entered into an edit box, the char* pointer automatically will "contain" the updated text. You have to set and receive the text manually.
Use WM_SETTEXT with the char* variable in the lParam to set the text
and WM_GETTEXT to retrieve the text with the maximum length in wParam and receiving variable in lParam
Consult MSDN on these two messages and SendDlgItemMessage

You could process the WM_INITDIALOG message in you dialog function and set the text of the control through SetDlgItemText(hDlg,IDC_EDIT1,name);
If you're only dealing with numbers, here's how to do it:
////////// In C://////// // To get the valuechar text[32];GetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDIT1, text, 32); int value;sscanf(text, "%d", &value); // To set the valueint value = 17;char text[32];sprintf(text, "%d", value);SetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDIT1, text); //////////// In C++:////////// // To get the valuechar text[32];GetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDIT1, text, 32);std::istringstream in(std::string(text)); int value;in >> value; // To set the valueint value = 18;std::ostringstream out;out << value;SetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDIT1, out.str().c_str());This topic is closed to new replies.
