New to programming (assigning variables to input from dialog boxes

[joe joe]

I am trying to take input by a user from a dialog box and assign variables to this input and do a mathmatical computation with these variables and spit them back out into a window. I could use info on the details of doing this. I am using Visual C++ 6.0. Thanks

try to use ClassWizard..
-press Ctrl-W
-go to "Member Variables"
-assign variable to your control (category : value)
-and in your code :
UpdateData(); //put the value in control to your variable
int m_value3 = m_value1 + m_value2; //do somthing with your variable
UpdateData(FALSE); //put the value in variable to your control




PS: Sorry for my english...

You need to use the Class Wizard to "link" member variables to your dialog box's controls. This will make reading and writing the control's values simple.

Read about it in the online help and/or go through the Scribble tutorial, specifically the section related to adding dialog boxes.

Good luck!

The easiest way to do this is to use the classwizard and map a new member variable to the edit box or whatever you use for the Dialoginput. The wizard then will add this information to the DoDataExchange function and you can get hold off the values by simply accessing the variable.MFC does the dataexchange for you. Do your computation and then open new window for the output or replace the text in the editcontrol with the new values.
Hope that helps.
