vc++ error about controls

[Guest_imported]

lets say i put in the code:

CButton button;
button.GetDlgItem (IDC_BUTTON1);

i put in this code so that I can make a control for a button...But how come when I do this, as soon as the program reaches this part of the code, i get a CLOSE and IGNORE error....why is that??

It is because your code is not even close to being meaningful or correct. Are you an entry level programmer? What is your background? What 'Windows Programming' books have you read?

Contrary to popular Hollywood and Societal beliefs, you actually have to know something about what you are doing to author software. Even more so in a powerful language like C++.
