LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc( HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam ) (HMENU) g::save_button_id, g::h_instance, nullptr

(HMENU) g::edit_field_id, g::h_instance, nullptr (HMENU) g::push_button_id, g::h_instance, nullptr This is a working reworked version of your code, replacing the local variable text_box (which doesn't retain information from one call to the next) with a numerical control id and use of GetDlgItem, changing from ANSI to Unicode text, and fixing some other stuff, while mainly keeping the formatting: #undef UNICODEĬonst auto class_name = L'myWindowClass' Ĭonst auto h_instance = ::GetModuleHandle( nullptr ) LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

GetWindowText(text_box,t,19) // this is not working?Ĭonst char g_szClassName = 'myWindowClass' ::MessageBox(hwnd,'button clicked','message',MB_OK) i am trying to get text from edit control but it does not work.m tired by trying all possible codes looking documentation on msdn etc. There is no MessageBox() function that takes a single parameter so that is broken.Following code is not working. If your not going to read the documentation you have no chance of succeeding.Ĭstring does NOT have a GetDlgItemText() member function so that is broken. Have you read the API documentation for GetWindowText()? It details where you should put the HWND. !So in GetWindowText where should i put the HWND then ? No it won’t! That will crash if it ever runs because you are sending an un-initialized array to strlen(). What in the world is going on in this thread? There is so much broken code in this thread I can’t keep track of it all. } RE: How MessageBox (Edibox) jonybd (Programmer) Its getting The main Dialog box caption name not the Text Box texts what to do MessageBox(buffer,'Get Edit Texts: ',MB_OK) GetWindowText(buffer,strlen(buffer)) or GetWindowText(CString cstr) is Correct syntex

GetWindowText(HWND,buffer,strlen(buffer)) is incorrect !So in GetWindowText where should i put the HWND then ? (Microsoft VC++ 6.0) GetWindowText(buffer,strlen(buffer)) or GetWindowText(CString cstr) is Correct syntex GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1) or GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1,hwnd) is Correct sysntex GetWindowText(GetDlgItem(hwnd,IDC_EDIT1),buffer,strlen(buffer)) īut in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, Above is Telling Error, Because Its a Button which will Get the EditBox texts and display it by MessageBox

C++ getwindowtext not working
