    Use WM_KILLFOCUS for your text box and get the text using GetWindowText. I hope this is you want.

                Hi, I think u havent created a member variable for the editbox. Simply you would have written like CEdit m_ce; It ll not work out. First you need to create a member variable for the edit box using class wizard with the control type as Edit. say, the member variable is m_editChar. then, CString str; m_editChar.GetWindowText(str); MessageBox(str); now, the str ll give u the value entered by the user in the edit box. Hope this ll solve your problem.

                Thanks & Rgds, Sri..

                      So then why are not using CString with your MFC application?

                      Consider using AfxMessageBox().
