How to show a value in an Edit Textbox
-
Hi guys, I've written an application in pure C++ and the command line and now I'd like to convert it to Windows. I am at the very first steps in using MFC and I am wondering if anyone could be kind enough to help. To simplify the problem, let's suppose my application is composed of 2 input edit text boxes (Box1, Box2), a button (Calculate), and 1 output textbox (Box3). What is the correct code required to display the result of the calculation (Box1+Box2) in the output textbox (Box3)? I've read 1300 pages of the excellent Ivor Horton's Beginning C++ 2008 book....only to discover that this simple topic is not covered!! Many thanks jEDI

MFCyou may also map the three textboxes to three integer variables and use theUpdateDatamechanism see [^]. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong. -- Iain Clarke
