Thread: 'getintchar' Project

I've made this program that shows the ACSII value and the character, heres a pic from the DOS version:

NOTE: thats the old version that shows the line feed (10)

I'm learning WinAPI and I want to get this string from a edit box then put the string into a varaible then every char in the string I want to convert to a int, so that when theres a 'c' in the string it has it as '99'.

heres some of the code for it:

Code:

BOOL bSuccess;
int nTimes = GetDlgItemInt(hwnd, IDC_NUMBER, &bSuccess, FALSE);
if(bSuccess) 
{
    	// Then we get the string they entered
    	// First we need to find out how long it is so that we can
    	// allocate some memory
    
    int len = GetWindowTextLength(GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_TEXT));
    if(len > 0)
    {
    	// Now we allocate, and get the string into our buffer
    
    	int i,mychr;
    	str buf;

    	buf = (str)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, len + 1);
    	GetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_TEXT, buf, len + 1);

    	// Now we add the string to the list box however many times
	    // the user asked us to.

	    for(;*buf;){
    		int mychr=(int)*buf;
    		SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)mychr);
    		//SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)buf);
    	}

	/*for(i = 0;i < nTimes; i++)
	{
		int index = SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)buf);

		// Here we are associating the value nTimes with the item 
		// just for the heck of it, we'll use it to display later.
		// Normally you would put some more useful data here, such
		// as a pointer.
		SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_SETITEMDATA, (WPARAM)index, (LPARAM)nTimes);
	}*/

	// Dont' forget to free the memory!
    	GlobalFree((HANDLE)buf);
    }
    else 
    {
	MessageBox(hwnd, "You didn't enter anything!", "Warning", MB_OK);
    }
    //and the rest of the stuff..
}

I also need add a new item into the list that has the int number AND the char it belongs too*, don't know how I'll do this..

*the dos version of showing the int and the char:

Code:

    int mychr;
    while((mychr = getchar()) != 9) {
      if (mychr != 10) printf("\n%i\t%c",mychr,mychr); else nl;
    }

I want to see for this WinAPI prog if I can do basicly the same with the list box BUT with the WinAPI version it's a string not a intso I'll need to covert it and show it with the character.

HOPEFULLY this made sence/someone can help me.
I CAN post the other code if needed.
