Questions about edit box in VC++ 6

Hello,
So, can anyone help explaining this to me, or tell where to post to get some
help..

In VC++ 6, I can make a dialog, with an edit box in it (call it IDC_EDIT).
If I go to the classwizard (click IDC_EDIT) and want to connect a variable
to it I can choose between some different choices. So, if I choose to make
an int, how can i use this ? I guess there should be some way to simplify
using numbers in the box, or am I way off here ?
As I'm doing it now I have a CEdit connected to the box, and do all the
operations by getting the text from it and do myoperations that way, but
since I only want to use numbers maybe theres a easier way ? So, whats the
use of connecting the int to the box ? Or should I just set the style to
number on the box ?

TIA
H
