How do I modify a MFC dialog member after it is created?

Question

I used the Wizard to create a baisc input box with a OK and Cancel

I made the input box type "int" with min value 0 and max 99.

Now I want to edit the input box so that it is type string.

I have the MFC ClassWizard open and can see the ControlID, Type, and Member ID of the input box. However, there is no option to edit it...

How can I do this through the Wizard and not mess up the nicely generated code?

Thanks!

The easiest way is probably to delete the variable that's currently associated with the control (using the ClassWizard, and deleting the function implementation by hand) and then creating a new variable to associate with it of type CString. Note that, for better or worse, you will not be able to limit the string to a numeric range -- you can only limit its length.
