Text editor in vc++

elecelen (5)
Hi everyone!
I need a good tutorial about creating a text editon in vc ++. Actually I need to "send" data in a notepad every time I write double numbers on edit control and press save. I am new and I have no idea. I made an effort and wrote something but my dialog (where the edit control is) don't even open when I run the executable.

void CInputView::OnLinefeaturesData()
{
	// TODO: Add your command handler code here
	CInputDoc* pDoc = GetDocument();
	CDataDialog DialogWindow;
}

{
	// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
	CFileDialog dlg(FALSE, L"Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Texr Files (*.h)|*.h|", NULL, OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, L"Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Text Files (*.h)|*.h|");

	CStdioFile file;

	CString buffer;
	CString textfile;

	if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
	{
		file.Open(dlg.GetFileName(), CStdioFile::modeCreate | CStdioFile::modeWrite);
		dlg.GetFileName();

		file.WriteString(buffer);

		file.Close();
	}

}

void CDataDialog::OnEnChangeEdit1()
{
	// TODO:  If this is a RICHEDIT control, the control will not
	// send this notification unless you override the CDialog::OnInitDialog()
	// function and call CRichEditCtrl().SetEventMask()
	// with the ENM_CHANGE flag ORed into the mask.

	// TODO:  Add your control notification handler code here
	UpdateData(TRUE);
}

Before you can write the buffer to disk you need to get the text from the texcontrol( CEdit?) into your CString buffer;

	// TODO:  Add your control notification handler code here
	//UpdateData(TRUE);
	CString buffer;
	CEdit *pEdit = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);
	pEdit->GetWindowText(buffer);
}

CString buffer;
CEdit *pEdit = (CEdit*)GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1);
pEdit->GetWindowText(buffer);


This shoud be in void CDataDialog::OnBnClickedSave() before you write the text to the disk.
