How to control data from edit box
-
I have edit boxes, which accept int, float, date & CString. If i check Style-Number of EditBox Number & retrive data via member variable associated with the control, I get some junk chars only or an empty string. How can I get data and convert it back to int, float or date respectively. Any guidance, examples, etc will be of great help & highly appreciated.
Thanks Terry

try to use a CString var in which u read the text typed. and then use the atoi() funct/. such : CString TXT; int Nbr; m_EditContr.GetWindowText(TXT); if (TXT.IsEmpty()!=0) Nbr.atoi(TXT); But when the user type such thing (ASD45O) it may not work. !!!

Add a control variable to your edit box, may it be
c_Edit. You can use this variable to get the text entered in your edit box by callingc_Edit.GetWindowText(). This function will always return anLPTSTR. You can use conversion functions like_ttoi()just in case you need numbers. Here are some tutorials which may help you: CEdit Tutorial 1[^] CEdit tutorial 2[^] CEdit tutorial 3[^] I also suggest that you read a good book on MFC (well, if you are using MFC) and on Win32.Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself. - Cicero .·´¯`·->Rajesh<-·´¯`·.

or
Nbr = atoi(TXT);

You can use of GetWindowText and then see CString::Format.
