Thread: How to get a string from a dialog

I am new to windows programming, and I can not figure out how to get a string from an EDITTEXT resource. Could somebody please show me what to do?

Example:
I make a file that contains the following:

EDITTEXT 3, 10, 10, 100, 10

The user would type in "Hello", and then press a button called "Test". The program would then pop up a MessageBox that would say, "You typed in 'Hello'."
I have tried several things but I can't make anything work.


Compiler: Gnu GCC C compiler

Look up GetDlgItemText() on msdn.

And since you're likely to run into this again...

GetDlgItemInt()
IsDlgButtonChecked()

SetDlgItemText()
SetDlgItemInt()
CheckDlgButton()

SendDlgItemMessage()
PostDlgItemMessage()

GetDlgItem()

and more...

Thanks!
