int to LPCTSTR

Hello :)

The SetDlgItemText() function takes in a LPCTSTR datatype as one of its arguments.

I was just curious how to convert an integer into this datatype.

Thanks in advance!

You could use SetDlgItemInt()

or

convert to a string or char array.

Code:

---

char szBuf[MAX_PATH]={0};
_snprintf(szBuf, MAX_PATH-1,"%d",iValueToBeDisplayed);
SetDlgItemText(hWnd, ID_EDIT,szBuf);

---

Or if you're using C++ (which I assume since you cross-posted there),

Code:

---

SetDlgItemText(hWnd, ID_EDIT, boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(your_int).c_str());

---
