Reading Strings in MFC

Create a CEdit control, then call, CEdit::GetWindowText() or SetWindowText().

Text input will require an edit control object. MessageBox() and AfxMessageBox() are one set of solution for displaying texts.

i think he wants a small popup dialog like the windows login dialog

create a dialog resource link it to a class
and then add you edit controls to this dialog
link these controls as member variables of the derived dialog
and then create the dialog like this


CDerivedDialog dDlg;
Dlg.DoModal();
that should work i think


from a standard SDI application generated by the classwizzard

easy isnt it quite frankly you can learn most of mfc within 3-4 weeks
void CEditorApp::OnAppAbout()
{
CAboutDlg aboutDlg;
aboutDlg.DoModal();
}
