Hello friends,

Im sure Im obtuse, but I cant find an example of getting the value of an editfield to use in a function. Im using some windows.h functions, and I want to send a user's editfield text to be saved into windows memory. How do I get the editfield value into a string I can use?

Hi,

A simple example:

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

using namespace Upp;

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	EditField edit;
	edit.WhenEnter = [&edit] { String s = ~edit; PromptOK("The text is " + s); };
	TopWindow w;
	w.Add(edit.HCenterPosZ(400).VCenterPosZ());
	w.Run();
}

Best regards,
Oblivion
