Extracting text from a Edit Control ?

[Gizmo]

hi

iv created my self a Edit Controle as followed

hwndTextBox =
CreateWindow("EDIT","temp",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_ BORDER,100,50,200,100,hwnd
,NULL,GlobalHInstance,NULL);

and it works fine i can type stuff in it. my only prob is i do not know how
to extract the text.

iv also created a button and what im trying to do is that when some one
presses the button i can copy what ever is in the Edit Controle and do what
ever i want to do with it in the programing.

iv got my button working as well i just can't figure out how to get access
to what the user types in.

Any help would be grate

Thanks

Scott

GetWindowText, IIRC. Try asking in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32.
