Contents of an EditBox

I have an MFC project where the main form is based on CDAORecordView.

The EditBox's ID is: IDC_EDIT_CurrentRecord
its value member variable is long m_CurrentRecord.
its control member variable is CEdit m_CurrentRecordCTRL.

As I use the record selectors in the toolbar I have use the GetAbsolutePosition function to update the m_CurrentRecord member variable.

During runtime, when I change the value of the EditBox I want the form to Move to the record number in the EditBox.

The following code compiles with no errors.

void CTheoFrontEndView::OnKillfocusEDITCurrentRecord()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
CString strTemp;
m_CurrentRecordCTRL.GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT_CurrentRecord, strTemp);

m_pSet->SetAbsolutePosition(atol(strTemp));
}

The problem is the GetDlgItemText returns NULL.
Why?

also

How can I get the contents of the EditBox independant of its member variable?
or
Am I approching this problem all wrong?
