mfc edit box

[swaapu]

hi! i am working on an MFC SDI Application. I have an EditBox on a dialog for dispalying path of files. I hav also used a Button for browsing files. My Browse button is working , but, i also want that "the path of the file can be entered directly into the edit box." How to do it? But, I had not used EditBox earlier as i am new to mfc programming. can anybody help me at this issue. Thanx for providing me help

use CWnd::SetWindowText(CString) for this:

((CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_MY_EDIT))->SetWindowText(strFileName);
((CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_MY_EDIT))->GetWindowText(strFileName);
or

m_MyEdit.SetWindowText(strFileName);
m_MyEdit.GetWindowText(strFileName);

Using ClassWizard(Ctrl + W ) associate a CString Variable with the Edit Box.. When ever you need the value from the Edit Box

From Edit Box
UpdateData(TRUE);
MessageBox( m_strEditBox,"Data in Edit Box");

TO Edit Box
m_strEditBox="codeproject";
UpdateData(FALSE);
