simple answer.. nope :) it would be INCREDIBLY simple to write your own class to do this.. you wouldn't even need a dialog template.. you could create the dialog, static text, and edit control dynamically and call it like this:<br />
<br />
CInputBox input(&quot;What is your name?&quot;);<br />
answer = input.DoModal();<br />
<br />
Actually, DoModal() can be placed in your constructor so all you would have to do is call the first line..<br />
<br />
the reason why there's not really anything like this is because there ARE &nbsp;few set backs to that situation.. think about all the style bits that are involved with an edit box.. &nbsp;if there were a general function to do this, it would require SEVERAL parameters in order for you to get the input box you want.. <br />
<br />
hope this helps<br />

InputBox ??

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
