Question concerning visual c++ 6.0

I have been messing around with visual c++ 6.0 and I was wondering how I can store what a user puts in an input box into a variable. Later when the user hits like maybe add(if its a calculator) a message box will be displayed with the sum of the two numbers the user inputed. I have Sams Teach yourself Visual C++ 6.0 but I haven't found in the book how to do this. Thanks for all help and advice provided.

something like (MFC):
char *str=myCWnd->EditField1->GetText();
or for API programming:
char *str=SendMessage(InputForm->EditField1->Handle, WM_GETTEXT, 0, 0);

i am not sure about the syntax as i am not doing any GUI windows programming in C/C++, but shouldn´t this be trivial...?

Process the WM_COMMAND msg for the control

Different type of control have different msg's.

Code:

case WM_COMMAND:
      	idControl = GET_WM_COMMAND_ID( wParam, lParam) ;
         switch(idControl)
         {
                   case ID_INPUT_BOX:   
                   //is a button
		   if(BN_CLICKED == HIWORD(wParam))
                   //is an edit
                   if (EN_CHANGE == HIWORD(wParam))
