Hi All, How do I get the information that a user enters from a edit box? I want to open a file that the user enters...so basically i want to get the string entered by the user into the open file call. Many thanks in advance.

void GetWindowText( CString& rString ) const; or if you assigned a CString variable to the Edit box, use UpdateData(TRUE) and the variable should contain the text.

Use GetWindowText() in MFC or handle the WM_GETTEXT message in win32

Thanks everyone....I was using GetLine, didn't realize until right now that was only for multiple line boxes. can you tell i am new to programming?!?!?! In another case, I will have a number. Is there a way to determine if this number is a negative? How do I just look at the first character in the string?

Use atoi() for an int or atof() for a float and check if the number is less than zero.
CString str = "-9"; int value = atoi(str); if (value < 0) { ..... ..... } -

Thanks.... Is there a place where I can find all these types of conversion "tool/methods"? I know what this one does (atoi) but I know there are other ones that I may find useful. Many thanks again.
Look on your MSDN Library CD
