Get Text from Edit

[Halsafar]

Both work, and both seem to return a value, which is more correct:

//First version -- as you see with one line commented out
//Second version -- include the memory allocation line

//--------------------
//Get text from edit box
//--------------------
char* GetTextFromEdit(HWND hwnd, DWORD ID)
{
    char* Text;

    int len = GetWindowTextLength( GetDlgItem(hwnd, ID) );
    if(len > 0)
    {
        //Text = (char*)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, len + 1);
        GetDlgItemText(hwnd, ID, Text, len + 1);
    }

    return Text;
} 

Problem with the second version, is the function returns the text I need, I do not get a chance to unallocate it...Which is a problem, but it seems without allocating the memory, it works fine when returning to a char*
