Does anyone know how to do this?? this is the code i have so far..

        case EditAge: {

Well, that’s a start, but did you even try to retrieve the text? Or do you have issues converting the text to a number? For future questions, try to be more specific. You’re most likely looking for something like this line (don’t forget to check to see if you’re in the right text box!):

GetDlgItemText(dialoghandle, LOWORD(wParam) /* the control id */, text /* pointer where the text should go */, 256 /* max number of elements */);

Once you’ve got the text, you can use e.g. strtol() to parse the string and retrieve a number.

Edit:
You could actually use GetDlgItemInt(), documented here, to retrieve an integer right away.
