I associated "CString m_Edit1" with control IDC_EDIT1.
I thought UpdateData() could be used to return data to the control but I couldn't get it to work.

UpdateData();   // Retrieve data from the control.
	AfxMessageBox( m_Edit1 );  // Display value.
	m_Edit1 = "Me";  // Change value.
	SetDlgItemText( IDC_EDIT1, m_Edit1 ); // Set it.

and the second part...

// Convert const string to CString. Easy.
		const char Number[] = "12345";
		CString strNum = Number;
		cout << (LPCTSTR)strNum << endl;

                // Convert a number to a char string. 
		char szNum[ 6 ];
		sprintf( szNum, "%d", 12345 );
		cout << szNum << endl;

I think you have to declare either "UpdateData (TRUE) " or UpdateData (FALSE)" depending on if u want to go from varible to control or vise versa
