MFC events , message maps , etc

[Conundrum]

ive made a few different dialogs via the resourse editor in VC++ 6 with MFC. and i have no pointers to the different controls on the dialogs (as its all done in the resource files). My question is how do i access the actual control (mainly CEdit boxes) to run some of the functions of that control?

i think i can get the ID of the control, but what then?
how can i access the control via the ID

any help MUCH appreciated

never mind found answer myself
FYI

CWnd::GetDlgItem
which takes the ID number and returns a CWnd* ,If the control you are referencing is something other than a CWnd object, then you simply type cast it as such.
