Thread: How do I get text from an edit box?

I have been tinkering with a program lately and have created somewhat of a form by looping through a CreateWindowEx() function. It is composed of Edit Boxes(ES_LEFT) and Push Buttons(BS_PUSHBUTTON). My Question is, how do I retreive text that is entered in the Edit Boxes?

If you need my code I can post it tomorrow, as it is currently on my workstation at work.

Thanks,

David

You can use the HWND's returned from the CreateWindowEx()'s in a call to

GetWindowText(hwnd,buffer,sizeof(buffer));

to obtain the text.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I assume, however, that since I am using a for loop to create the form, I will need to use an HWND array?

Yes, unless you want to have to obtain the handles from the ID's of the edit boxes.
