Hello there :) ,

I'm an "Absolut Beginner":confused:

Does anyone know, how to save X,Y-Coordinates, Height and Width of Textfields in a TXT-File?
I've created an own Text Editor in where I place 2-3 (graphic-)Frames and 2-3 Textboxes .

Thank You in Advance

It might help people to give you the most accurate answer if you edit your question to say if it is Managed or Unmanaged C++, if you know. :)

Hi Alexander,
If you want to save X,Y-Coordinates, Height and Width of Specific Textfields then try with following:

C++

CRect rcRect;
char strTmp[6];
CString strCord("TextBox1 :");

// Point to specified EditBox
CEdit *pWnd= (CEdit *)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1); //Id of Edit Control
pWnd->GetClientRect(rcRect);
pWnd->ClientToScreen(rcRect);

// Build String for saving Coordinates into txt file
sprintf(strTmp," X=%d,",rcRect.left);
strCord += strTmp ;
sprintf(strTmp," Y=%d,",rcRect.top);
strCord += strTmp ;
sprintf(strTmp," H=%d,",rcRect.right);
strCord += strTmp ;
sprintf(strTmp," W=%d,",rcRect.bottom);
strCord += strTmp ;

// Save Coordinates into txt file
CFile DataEntry;
DataEntry.Open("C:\\DataEntry.txt",CFile::modeCreate |CFile::modeWrite);
DataEntry.Write(strCord,strCord.GetLength());
DataEntry.Close();

And if u want to save all Textfields the try with following

Wnd *pWnd = GetWindow(GW_CHILD);
char strControl[20];

while(pWnd)
{
   ::GetClassName(ped->GetSafeHwnd(),strControl,20);
   if (!strcmpi(strControl,"Edit") )
   {
      // Above logic will go here....
   }
   pWnd = pWnd->GetNextWindow();
}
