Better ask article related questions in their own forums/Message Boards. People dont like it here generally as you would have noticed by now. Found on Bash.org I'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet My Articles

it seems like you call something like CString::GetWindowText(). you probably have a such lines :

CString str;
str.GetWindowText();

As others have said, questions about code in an article are best put in that article. But I'm in a good mood. Search MSDN for GetWindowText for all the answers you can shake a stick at. GetWindowText is either a windows API function: int GetWindowText( HWND hWnd, LPTSTR lpString, int nMaxCount ); Or a member function of CWnd: int GetWindowText( LPTSTR lpszStringBuf, int nMaxCount ) const; void GetWindowText( CString& rString ) const; You can see the last member function takes a parameter of CString. CString has no member function GetWindowText. So in your code you probably have

CString str;
....
str.GetWindowText (...);

which should be:

void CMyWnd::OnSomething (...)
{
CString str;
....
GetWindowText (str);
....
}
