I have 2 Dialogs. The first calls the second, in which i create CEdit fields dynamically. To store them i put them in a CStringToOb (filterMap) in the first dialog: CEdit* edit = new CEdit(); edit->Create(....); ptr_to_main->filterMap[i] = (CObject*) edit; When i go back i want to read the input made to the CEdit Fields. The Only Posibility i found to do so is : CEdit* pvalue; ptr_to_main->filterMap.Lookup( i, ( CObject*& )pvalue); pvalue->GetLine(1,value); The Point is I dont get anything when calling GetLine. When i do the same with Strings it works. What am i doing wrong ?
