I want to get a string from a dialog box, say like a wanted to get 

d:\games\solitare.exe


I figured I have to use the GetDlgItemText(think that's it) but when do I 
use?

Any info would be appreciative

Well, if it's like the dialogs I have set up, there is a WM_INITDIALOG 
case and a WM_COMMAND case.  Under the WM_COMMAND section I have two 
cases: OK and Cancel.  Under the IDOK case (the user clicks OK), I call 
the GetDlgItemText function, for example,

GetDlgItemText(hDlg, ID_Bus_Name, buffer,buffer_length);
sscanf(buffer, "%s", &(buses[bus_highlight].name));

Hope this helps.
