Hi,

I was just wondering if it were possible for me to convert a ASCII (byte value) number, such as 12345 into the same value in WORD.

For example, i would like my users to enter a number in a editbox, but how would i then convert this into a 16bit value?

[...]

.data?

buffer BYTE 256 dup(0)



.code

invoke GetWindowText, hEdit, addr buffer, 256

;trim the buffer

mov myvalue, [buffer]  <-----how would i make the number in 'buffer' become a WORD value?

i was thinking something like word ptr , but i don't think that does what i want it to...

any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

If your Edit control is in a dialog box, you could retrieve the binary number with the GetDlgItemInt function.
