    Getting my text from edit box

    Hey ive been trying to do this simple operation for the last hour and i still can't get it to work


    I have an edit box and a OK button when the user enters some text and clicks OK, i wan't to display the text


    I added a member variable called m_strGet type CString


    Code:
    
    // This is my add member variable CString m_strGet;
    
    
    // My edit box is called IDC_EDIT_TEXTBOX
    
    
    void CSimpleDlg::OnGet() 
    {
    
         UpdateData();
    
    
    	 if(m_strGet.IsEmpty() == FALSE){
                messageBox(m_strGet);
                }
    
    
         UpdateData(FALSE); 
    
    
    }

    It should compile but it doesn't, i get an error saying m_strGet is undefined, but i declared it public with class wizard

    In theory there is nothing wrong with what you posted.
    In reality however, you made at least one typo in your post, so watch out for typos in your program.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
