The answer given above is good, but if you want to use the value from edit control or you need to get the edited value from the edit control. It is better to add a variable for that edit control using class wizard. And by using this variable you can Get and Set the value of edit control using UpdataData() function call.

Gave you a 4 as you didn't mention the DDX functions which are the reason UpdateData works.

If you are using visual studio class wizard to add variable, DDX functions are automatically generated by class wizard. If you are not using class wizard you need to add it manually.

Solution 1

You can use SetWindowText(). Place the SetWindowText() in OnInitDialog().
