Get string control value from new panel error

[plit string]

After using:

int i_String;

char *str;

str = calloc(100, sizeof(char));

int i_NewPanel = NewPanel (0, "NEW PANEL", 10, 10, 200, 200);  

i_String = NewCtrl (i_Panel, CTRL_STRING, "String", 10, 10); 

DisplayPanel (i_NewPanel );
SetActivePanel (i_NewPanel );

GetCtrlVal (i_NewPanel , i_String, str);   ---> error = "expected pointer to char, found pointer to int"

How can I get string value (if someone enter before I execute the GetCtrlVal ... from i_String?

Thanks for any help.

Oopp,  I am wrote in-corrected, the error was

error = "found pointer to char, expected pointer to int"

[plit string]

It is working, I have an syntax error in my program ... so sorry!

This error happens when the data type that you pass to GetCtrlVal doesn't match the data type of the control.

In your case, I can tell that you are trying to get the value of the string, and passing a character array makes complete sense. But I also noticed that you are creating the string control in i_Panel, yet when you try to get the value, you are using i_NewPanel. So you are inadvertently referencing a different control, in a different panel, which is probably not a string.

Ah, well, it looks like you figured it out. Never mind
