MFC: Basic question, how do i update an Edit Box dynamically ..

[ShaunLim]

how do i update an Edit Box dynamically from another Edit Box in another class?

I have two Modeless Dialogs, each with their own class. I need to update an Edit Box in CDlgTerm2 from an Edit Box in CDlgTerm1. I'm trying to use EN_CHANGE but the changes don't reflect.

Please help..thanks in advance!

Do you know how to make C++ objects interact? That’s one approach you could use. Also windows messaging could be used with user defined messages. Do you know how to do that?

Hi pete thanks for you reply. I'm sorry i'm quite new to MFC programming and i don't know how to do those stuff.

Maybe you can tell me the functions or methods to use and i'll read up on them?

Well for making Objects Interact in C++ there are no functions, you have to actually learn how to design Object Oriented C++. This takes time. It’s a little more difficult than falling off of a water truck.

For User defined messages in MFC start by looking at the documentation for ON_MESSAGE:
