Edit Control MFC vc++
-
I'm trying to make something like this. In the edit control when I input some number other than the default number immediately some warning will be displayed. e.g. there are 3 bottle which have the capacity of 1L, 2L & 3L resp. When I type 2 for the 1st bottle immediately I want to display warning message below. I need some guidance to achieve this. Thank you. P.s. I would be very grateful if some example is given. :)

As Victor said, the simple way to achieve this task is to use CEdit Class | Microsoft Docs | ShowBalloonTip[^]
in .h file :
afx_msg void MyDlg::OnEnChangeEdit();
in .cpp file :
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(MyDlg, CDialogEx)
ON_EN_CHANGE(IDC_EDIT2, &MedicationDlg::OnEnChangeEdit)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()void MyDlg :: OnEnchangeEdit()
{
CString temp;
//could you give some some direction on how to get the text entered in the edit control
// Should I use the control value variable of the edit control to save the input
// I am confused here, I would like some direction. Thanks
updateData(TRUE);
temp = m_editvariable;Function(1st parameter, temp) // this function will check the text entered in the edit control, with the default value and display appropriate message
}Thanks.

I have edited like the below code. Only the first character I type shows in message box. What I wanted was the whole thing i type in the edit control. eg. when I try to enter 300, the moment i type 3 message pop up with 3.
void MyDlg::OnEnChangeEdit()
{
CString temp;
m_Edit.GetWindowTextW(temp); // CEdit m_Edit;
MessageBox(temp);Function(1st parameter, temp);}

You can associate a CString value with your edit control, and there you will have entire edit value. VS wizzard allow you to do that.
Could you give an example. Thanks

Could you give an example. Thanks
In header:
public:
//{{AFX_DATA(MyDlg)
enum { IDD = IDD_TEST_FORM };
CEdit m_Edit1;
CString m_sEdit1;
//}}AFX_DATAin cpp:
void MyDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);
//{{AFX_DATA_MAP(MyDlg)
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_EDIT1, m_Edit1);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT1, m_sEdit1);
//}}AFX_DATA_MAP
}so you have the value of edit control inside of m_sEdit1. Example:
void MyDlg::OnEnchangeEdit()
{
updateData(FALSE);
Function(1st parameter, m_sEdit1);

Why not just use

Use 3 radio buttons; default select the first option (1L). Or leave it "empty" (tri-state) and warn if no selection made. Standard stuff that everyone recognizes.
