Win32 Text Field For Input

Hello, I am currently programming a Win32 application and I need a "text field" or a "text box" that the user can type in a number to. I will need a few of these so a example would be great.

Try the windows programming section of the forum.

.. and moved!

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I didn't see the Windows programming section..

Use the resource editor to create the Editbox OR use CreateWindowEx() to create one at run time. If you have a lot I suggest the resource editor.

Read the text with GetDlgItemInt() or GetDlgItemText() and atoi().

Check some recent threads for code.

Code:

---

HWND hEdit =CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,"EDIT",
"Type Text Here",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_HSCROLL|ES_AUTOHSCROLL,
0,0,100,20,hwnd,(HMENU)SOME_KIND_OF_ID,GetModuleHandle(NULL),
NULL);

---

put this code in the WM_CREATE part of your WndProc. the code
above makes a TextBox at x0 and y0 with a width of 100 and a
height of 20. the SOME_KIND_OF_ID should be defined somewhere
in your program like this:

Code:

---

#define SOME_KIND_OF_ID 50

---

the WS_HSCROLL and ES_AUTOHSCROLL can be removed (they make
an horizontal scroll bar). 'hwnd' is the window to put this
control on. if any questions, ask please.
