New to Forms/MFC. Unsure where to place the code.

Hi,

I am trying to create a standard Windows Form which comprises of the following:

Button1
Button2
TextBox1
TextBox2

When the user clicks the Option1 button, I am trying to display some text held in a CString variable.

Using Visual Studio 2005, I have created the procedures for the buttons and given each TextBox one Member Variable each.

I think however I am placing some of the code in the wrong location, as when I click on Button1, the text I want displayed in the first TextBox actually becomes the label of the Button it's self.

Code:

---


void CSDI2Prac4Dlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{

        CString InText;
        CString OutText;
        CString ExtText;

               
        InText = "Some text";
        OutText = "";
        ExtText = " Extended";
        OutText.GetBufferSetLength(2000);

        opt1.SetWindowText ( InText );
        opt2.SetWindowText ( OutText );

        InText = InText + ExtText;

        //m_EDIT3.SetWindowText ( InText );
        //OnOK();

}

void CSDI2Prac4Dlg::OnBnClickedButton2()
{

}

void CSDI2Prac4Dlg::OnEnChangeEdit1()
{

}

void CSDI2Prac4Dlg::OnEnChangeEdit2()
{

}

---

I am unsure how to have the "Some text" string appear in the first textbox, when the user presses Button1.

Any advice is most appreciated.

mostly there....

Code:

---

opt1.SetWindowText ( InText );

 should be

m_Edit1.SetWindowText ( InText );

or use a pointer and the controls resource ID

CEdit  *pEdit=NULL;

pEdit=(CEdot*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);
if(pEdit && pEdit->GetSafeHwnd())
{
      pEdit->SetWindowText(InText):
}
