- Well, if it's like the dialogs I have set up, there is a WM_INITDIALOG
- case and a WM_COMMAND case. Under the WM_COMMAND section I have two
- cases: OK and Cancel. Under the IDOK case (the user clicks OK), I call
- the GetDlgItemText function, for example,
-
- GetDlgItemText(hDlg, ID_Bus_Name, buffer,buffer_length);
- sscanf(buffer, "%s", &(buses[bus_highlight].name));
-
- Hope this helps.
