Question
I need to display text along with values of variables in a CEdit controlled Edit Control Box. How do I do it ? Currently I'm using SetWindowText(), but that only takes a string...how do I get a formatted string to display in the edit control?
Example: printf("The answer is %d\n",ans) -> how do i print the same message in a Edit Control?
Solution
Use CString's Format member.
CString text;
text.Format(_T("The answer is %d\n"), ans);
edit.SetWindowText(text);
