Sorry Elysia If I am a bit slow here. I am not really sure if I understand. I will explain exactly what I am doing.
I have created a new project. "Windows Forms Application".
To this I have put a "Button" and a "RichTextBox".
Now I have doubleclicked the button so I am inside the code of this button.
When I press this button, the statement written in the "RichTextBox" will be executed like the example above.
I hope this helped to understand better.
Thanks
Oh... Windows forms. Wrong board mate. You want the C# thingie board

Of course. So is that C++ or C# you're using? Did you go under Visual C++ or C#?

uh? err... no you aren't?
EDIT: You do need C# if you plan to do it with Windows Forms.

So this doesn´t work with C++. What could be the difference ?
I learn both C# and C++ at the same time.
If I will make this in C#. How will I start ?

It doesn't work in C++ because the way of programming windows is different. You need the C++ Express edition and either use a library like wxWidgets or program with the Win32 API. On any case you don't create a Windows Form Project, but instead a Win32 one.
In C# with Windows forms, you'll have to ask on the appropriate forum.

Just to ask.
So if I use as I have Visual C++ 2008 Express Edtion, will this work here.
If not, will it work if I add the library wxWidgets ?
How can I see if I have wxWidgets ?
Thanks Mario F.

Once you have a RichTextBox instantiated, in wxWidgets, getting its contents can be as simple as
your_text_box.GetValue()
which returns a wxString object.
If you don't know, chances are you don't have. You need to download and install it. I strongly suggest you read the wiki particularly on matters of installation and first steps.

Thank you Mario. I beleive this was a good start for me. I will download this and see what I can do...
Right, using Windows Forms under C++ means you're using C++ .NET, which is non-standard. Bad. So don't use. Use wxWidgets or something GUI framework.
