i want it as long not string?????????????

Take it as string convert it to long

char * str=new char[100];
GetDlgItemText (IDC_EDIT1,str,100);
long l;
l=atol (str);

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Map it to some variable (ex: m_edit) While mapping it select long as its type. In the code use the following lines long val; UpdateData(); val=m_edit

And Why so: LPTSTR-An LPWSTR if UNICODE is defined, an LPSTR otherwise. Did you try using the code that I gave.

Yes...If unicode is not defined then ur code is ok.:) but wen unicode is defined then it will cause error.:doh: and one more thing you need to mention that, call delete of str at the end.:~

Thanks for your comment. But just have a look at your post:sigh:. Shouldn't it be: CString str; m_editBox.GetWindowText(str); No personnel issues but just to.......:-D say that we don't post the code here that is always optimized.
