What layer are you using for UI widgets? Native win32, MFC, .NET Forms,
...?

Are you using DDX? Why don't you just use the class designer to map the
text to a CString variable?

Otherwise, CEdit has a SetWindowText member function as David has pointed
out.

Also, MFC questions do not belong in this newsgroup, which is for using C++
in .NET, mainly C++/CLI but interop questions would be more or less on topic
here as well. Try microsoft.public.vc.language in the future.
