I tried both of them UpdateData(TRUE) and UpdateData(FALSE) my CString (CString MyStr) object is of EditBox. I checked the MyStr with AfxMessageBox, it catches the data

Try to create a control member data m_EditBox with the class wizard, and set the text with m_EditBox.SetWindowText(MyStr);. If it is still not updating it, then the display refreshing must hang in another part of your code. (You could also first try a RedrawWindow() after the UpdateData(FALSE)). ~RaGE();
