Hi, I´m newby programming with windows forms. I want to read the text that it is written in a text box, and save it into a char array. I´ve tried a lot of ways to do it, but no one has been the correct. The last one that I´ve tried is:
Can anyone help me?Code:private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object * sender, System::EventArgs * e) { char text[255]; text=(textBox1->Text); }
Thanks,
If you're on Windows, have you tried
?Code:#include <windows.h> ... MessageBox( NULL, "Text", "Title", MB_OK );

From C to shining C++!
Great graphics, sounds, algorithms, AI, pathfinding, visual effects, cutscenes, etc., etc. do NOT make a good game.

Post your question in the "windows programming" forum. When your programs create windows, then you are doing what's called "windows programming", which can be likened to advanced C++.
> char text[255];
> text=(textBox1->Text);
Have you tried:
Be sure to include <cstring>Code:char text[255]; strcpy( text, textBox1->Text );
should it be done like
Code:private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object * sender, System::EventArgs * e) { char text[255]; text=(this->textBox1->Text); }
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.
Is there a special reason you need a char array ?
If you are doing Managed C++ ( which I would only suggest if you have to interface with normal C++ and/or write wrapper classes for existing C++ functionality ) then use the System::String* type to hold and manipulate strings. Casting it back and forth between UNICODE enabled System::String* that your TextBox uses and normal char arrays is a pain and not worth the work I guess.
If you really need a char array, post an example where you need it, I will suggest a means of converting.
If you are doing .NET, I can only encourage you to look into C#. It's way cleaner and less work than Managed C++.

She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
None of the codes worked.
SirCrono66, thanks for your help, but that is not what I am looking for. I don´t want to open a new windows with text, I just need to save a text form a textbox to an array.
nvoigt, I don´t need to use an array char, but it is the only way I know to do it, because I don´t know how to use String in C++.
Thanks,
