Basically I decided to start learning asm a few days ago and as a learning task I chose to make a calculator as it seemed quite a basic program. I already know c++ so API calls aren't a problem and neither is the GUI. I'm trying to use GetDlgItemInt to get the number input in each of the 2 text boxes but it won't work. I've been doing some debugging with ollydbg and the correct control ID is set when the window is created and it matches the control ID made in the API call but it returns an error of control ID not found. I have been running through this code for hours now and I just can't see why it isn't working. The, probably quite badly coded, source code is attached. Can anyone help me with this please?

You are using the functions wrong. The first parameter should be the hwnd of the window.

This works:

Code:

        .addthem:              ; + function
                invoke GetDlgItemInt, [hWindow],numaID,NULL,FALSE ; 1st textbox
                ;cmp eax,0
                ;je .worked
                mov [numaint],eax                                  ; store return value
                invoke GetDlgItemInt,[hWindow],numbID,NULL,FALSE  ; 2nd textbox
                add eax,[numaint]                                  ; add values
                invoke SetDlgItemInt,[hWindow],answerID,eax,1   ; set the answer
                jmp .finish

So remember to save the hWnd of the window to hWindow variable.

BTW, consider creating the dialog like the DIALOG example included in the package instead of doing it manually or use another tool for creating the dialog and RES file and then use "section '.rsrc' data readable resource from 'my.res'".

PS: The documentation for creating dialog resources is http://flatassembler.net/docs.php?article=win32
