integers

int result;

int len = GetWindowTextLength(editwage);

if(len>0)
	TCHAR *buf = new TCHAR[len + 1];		
	GetWindowText(editwage,buf,len+1);
	MessageBox(NULL,buf,"hi",MB_OK);
	int s = atoi(buf);

int len2 = GetWindowTextLength(edithrs);

if(len2>0)
	TCHAR *buf2 = new TCHAR[len2 + 1];
	GetWindowText(edithrs,buf,len2+1);
	int b = atoi(buf2);

	result = s * b;

	char buffer[10];
	char* sztext = itoa(result,buffer,10);

	MessageBox(NULL,sztext,"testing",MB_OK);
	
return 0;
}

When I run this code or try to i get the error" buf, and buf2 undeclared identifiers". I declared them though. And then once I try and do the calculation on multiplying s and b I get 0 in the messagebox. I cannot figure out what is going on. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Declare the variables outside the if blocks. Variable scope is causing the error.

If your if statement requires more than one statement in it, you need to enclose them in braces

if(len>0) 
{
	TCHAR *buf = new TCHAR[len + 1];		
	GetWindowText(editwage,buf,len+1);
	MessageBox(NULL,buf,"hi",MB_OK);
	int s = atoi(buf);
}

but will i be able to use the variable s outside of the braces, or in another set?

I don't see your starting brace but if you declare the variable as global you will be able to use it everywhere. Global declaring is not recommended though!

// wrong
if (1)
{
    int i = 3;
}
cout << i; // variable not defined in this scope

// correct
int i;
if (1)
{
    i = 3;
}
cout << i; // variable is defined in scope
