Set Text in Edit Box (Without Button click event)

For setting data into edit box from other class, I need to write an event like on button click. But in my case, I need to set data directly without event.

You should set the edit box text in the OnInitDialog method. See MSDN: "Initializing the Dialog Box"[^].

You can set the text in any function you want, but you must distinguish between the pure SetWindowText and member value of an "connected" variable. Here is some example.

Important is that your calls are in the main-thread. If not use a PostThreadMessage with a handler.
