I know I made a post earlier relating to this, but I think it is full bad questions on my behalf. This is the cleaner better way to ask for help, I think.
The program asks the user for input. The input should be stored into the HWNDedit variable, I think. Yet I have no idea how I would save that data into that variable once the user writes it into the EDIT box.
Thanks for any help.
Much obliged John
for current Problem.
I'm posting the full code I have now. I'm having a problem when I read off the second EDIT TEXT BOX.
After debugging I saw that when I get to this line of code
What ever value was entered in the first EDIT TEXT BOX, the GetDlgItemTextA function is reading that same value and storring it into yield_buffer.
I traced the whole code and everything seems to be in the right place.
