textbox problem

[m_schulze]

we created a textbox which should contain the following:

" wert = [int] : [char] "

How can we put in an integer, though the textbox only excepts a character or pointer to char?
And how can we manage to combine a character and an integer to a string?

Hope, someone can help us ...

Thanks.

You can use the standard ANSI C function sprintf to format and append any data type into a string. Something like:

char buffer[100];
int number = 5;
char character = 'a';


sprintf(buffer, "wert = %d:%a", number, character);

That would give you a string in buffer that reads "wert = 5:a".

minor correction:

sprintf(buffer, "wert = %d:%c", number, character);

but Im just being picky

Try this:

char line[100], your_char_variable;
int your_int_variable;

sprintf(line," wert=[%d] : [%c]",your_int_variable,your_char_variable);
ResetTextbox(panel,txtctrlid,"line");
