Printing a string in EDITTEXT

[george7378]

Hi everyone,

I have got some experience of printing numbers in a Win32 EDITTEXT control, but I don't know how to print strings. At the moment, I am using this:

double number = 9.81;
char string[100];
sprintf_s(string,"%0.2f", number);
SetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_EDITTEXT, string);

How would I adapt this to print words instead of just numbers?

Thanks a lot!

int AddString(char *text)
  { return SetDlgItemText(hDlg,IDC_EDITTEXT,text); }

text is a string passed into the function...

If you post the code that's giving you trouble, you'll get a lot better answers...

Thanks a lot - I will try that out. That basically is all the code I have - I set the code to execute when I press a button (case IDC_BUTTON) and it displays the number in the text box. I just wanted to do the same with text, but I couldn't see how.

You should have probably taken the huge hint from line 4 of your own example... "string"...
