Getting contents of an edit box into an array

[NoClue30]

Hey,

I've just started with VC++ and I'm trying to make a GUI to let the user enter a nist of items into a bunch of edit boxes, then take the entries and store them in an array. I've read the MSDN for the functions and that's what I came up with:

        structLink templink;

	CEdit* pGetEdit[512];
	
	for(i=0; i<FAD.nExpected; i++)
	{
		
		pGetEdit[i] = (CEdit*) GetDlgItem(i+100);

		int len = pGetEdit[i]->LineLength();

		if(len > 0)
		{
			pGetEdit[i]->GetLine(1,templink.ParamName.GetBuffer(len), len);
			templink.Index = i;
			vars.vectParmSelected.push_back(templink);
		}

	}

It works fine if all the edit boxes are filled, but if one is left empty I get a run-time errorr saying that the memory could not be read. I jsut want it to skip that box and go on to the next one. What am I missing?

Thanks

1. Is it MFC? Is this snippet a part of View member function?
2. If so, why i loops from 0 to X? Is it true control ids?
3. GetDlgItem() returns CWnd*, not CEdit* pointer. Why you don't use GetWindowText() member (of CWnd) to get text box contents (in CString, for example)?
4. It seems no control for null pointers after GetDlgItem().
