Copying Data from an Edit Control to a variable

[tawanda diza]

Hie Team.

i am copying data from an EditControl called IDC_EDIT1 to a variable called ReqInfo.Amount

i am using the followong code:

CEdit *DSP;
CString text;

DSP = reinterpret_cast<CEdit *>(GetDlgItem(AMOUNT));
DSP->GetWindowTextW(text);
	
if(text.GetLength() == 0)
{
 SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC_NOTIFY,L"Field is Blank");
 return;
}
else
{
  sprintf_s(ReqInfo.Amount, 15,"%s",CT2CA(text));
		
  ReqInfo.Amount[text.GetLength()] = 0;
}

what i would like to ask is "is there any other way to do this"
i am finding it hard to follow this code

[johny10151981]

your main code to get the text from your text edit control is

CEdit *DSP;
CString text;
 
DSP = reinterpret_cast<CEdit *>(GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1));
DSP->GetWindowTextW(text);

how else can i save the contents of that dialogue beside using

sprintf_s(ReqInfo.Amount, 15,"%s",CT2CA(text));
 
  ReqInfo.Amount[text.GetLength()] = 0;
