    Textbox to string

    If I have a RichTextBox that is named "richTextBox1".
    In this box I will write for ex this word below:

    OneWord


    How is it possible to assign: OneWord into a stringvariable ?

    Find and RTFM.
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    I am trying to do this but the compiler don´t like it. I wonder If I should write something else here than Text ?

    Code:
    std::string FirstValue;
    			
    FirstValue = string::find(richTextBox2->Text);

    It's a GUI Framework.

    was asking if that was the library you were using. Nevermind then. I could only help if it was.

    And yes. wxWidgets is a library that provides a framework to develop nearly cross-compatible GUIs.

    No this might not be what I am using.
    I know it is possible to search a textbox using:

    string::find but from here I really not sure how to assign all of the contents in a textbox into ex:

    std::string FirstValue;

    I tried this but something might be wrong:

    Code:
    std::string FirstValue;
    			
    FirstValue = string::find(richTextBox2->Text);

    I am not sure if I understand... what do you meen by type. It is a "RichTextBox" and not a "TextBox" if it was this you ment.

    The type of the variable a in this example,
    int a
    is int. So what's the type of your richTextBox2 variable?

    What I am really after to do is this. I dont really know if it is possible or what approch that could be used for this purpose.
    Assume that we have this code:

    Code:
    int Number1 = 0;
    int Number2 = 10;
    int Number3 = 0;
    
    if (Number1 < Number2)
    	{
    		Number3 = 10;
    	}
    This is working fine, we assign Number3 = 10; here.
    Now what I want to do is to interact with this code through a RichTextBox and what I want to write in this box is the statement:
    Code:
    if (Number1 < Number2)
    So instead of write this in the code, I will do this line in the RichTextBox instead.
    Is this possible in any way ?

    Thanks

    Yes, you can set text of a textbox, but we need to know what the heck you're using!
    Are you using native Win32? MFC? Some other cross-platform toolkit?

    You're not helping here...
    How are you creating your GUI? Are you creating it at all?
