If you are using a dialog:
- GetDlgItemTextA / GetDlgItemTextW

If you are using a standard window control, or in general:
- GetWindowTextA / GetWindowTextW

You can also obtain the text via SendMessage/PostMessage with 'WM_GETTEXT'.

With that, you can then parse the text as you see fit.

sorry i dont get it.
For more info I have this text Box in a Form I designed and i want to parse its text as a hexadecimal value. I know how to parse it as decimal (double) like this:
Code:
 double value = Double::Parse(textBoxMain->Text);

but i want it to be parsed as Hex. If i do it like this ^ and try to write a hex value it causes an exception

well, it doesnt look like he is doing win32 programming.
probably a library that subclass window controls, and it doesnt look like he have a handle to edit control.

how do you define as hex?
- string contain hex digits
- or to get hex equivalent of that ASCII code

how do you define parsing?

This looks more like you're using C++/CLI (C++ .NET) I'm not familiar with their setup of things as I don't use it (or recommend it).

However, since it's just .NET in general, the setup should be similar. You'd need to attach to the textboxes input events such as 'TextChanged' or 'KeyPress' depending on how you wish to approach the goal.

From there you can just query the string the textbox has via its 'Text' property and then compare each character within the value to valid hexadecimal characters.

No idea what that should look like though, as the syntax to C++/CLI is god awful and I don't know it.
