How to get the property Text of TEdit

[ricoswave]

Hello Everybody,

Since last week I'm began to pick up the skills of C++ Builder (Borland).

I thought I could write a simple program where input with Tedit component would be stored in a file.

In previous version I used this to take the input that is typed in the Tedit box:

writetofile << Edit1->Text;

Without conversions the input was written to the file.

But now in version 6 of Builder, this is not working. The compiler gives an error with is not member of AnsiString.

Can somebody help me how I can take the userinput (mostly text) to a file. For the file operations I use iostream.h .

Please some advise or help.

Thank in advance,

Rico

Try

writetofile << (Edit1->Text).c_str()

or

AnsiString MyInput = Edit1->Text;
writetofile << MyInput.c_str();

You are supposed to be able to include some header that will give you this ability but I don't remember what it is right now. I use the above method all the time anyway.
