Simple dialog based app not working

I'm thinking about moving from Visual Studio 6 to VS 2005. I've installed VS 2005 Beta 2. I've created a simple dialog based app, added a edit control with a variable, and added OnBnClickedOk function. In the OnBnClickedOk function I added the following code:

void CTestAppDlg::OnBnClickedOk()
{
UpdateData( TRUE );
AfxMessageBox( m_strMessText );
 //OnOK();
}

When I run the app the message box is empty. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for the help,
Brian

Hi,

Something is wrong with how you do data exchange with the control. Check that you have DDX_Text in DoDataExchange().

Thanks Nikola,

It works now. The following was missing:
//{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CHelloDialogDlg)
 DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT1, m_strHelloText);
//}}AFX_DATA_MAP

All I did was add a member variable for the edit control like I do in Studio 6. Why didn't it add it for me?

Thanks again,
Brian

I have just tried it on July CTP and it added this text. I guess, I am not sure why this did not work for you. If you have stable repro, consider opening a bug on lab.msdn.microsoft.com.
