Ive been trying to figure this out for quite a while. What i am doing is using the GetWindowText to get a value take it out do a math function and put it back in the problem I see is that when i take it out and convert it into a Int so i can do math functions on it i cant convert it into what DisplayWindowText uses because the int sizes of them are different.
Any ideas are appericiated.
Well if it were done with C strings, it would look like
Pass the result to SetWindowText perhaps?Code:char numstr[10] = "10"; int num; sscanf( numstr, "%d", &num ); num *= 2; sprintf( numstr, "%d", num );
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
What is DisplayWindowText? Do you mean SetWindowText ?

Can you show what you tried? Are you just referring to converting the int to a string to pass to SetWindowText?
yea pretty much i just need the int to go back into a string form and be displayed in SetWindowText.
Can you show what you tried that is not working? Did you try Salem's suggestion?
When I tryed Salem's method I got the following error,
error C2664: 'sprintf' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CString' to 'char *'
That means you are using CStrings. To convert an int to a CString, use the CString's Format method. For example:Code:int i = 19; CString str; str.Format("%d", i); SetWindowText(str);
It finally works! Thanks for all your help.
