I just spent many hours, searching for a windows function to take text and convert it into binary (The reverse of wsprintf).

I finally gave up and wrote my own, but I'm sure it must exist somewhere in the windows library.

I'd prefer to use a built-in function where possible...

Anyone knows what the API is to do this?

To my best knowledge, there is no such an API function.

Don't make this a rule...
There are cases that you need something more (e.g. speed, flexibility etc), so ...

Cheers,

After I posted this I did run across an API called GetDlgItemInt, that works with an edit control. If the edit control does it, there is probably a hidden function somewhere, but it only took about 26 instructions, so, no big deal.
