You can automatically do it using DDX_Text call.

For example, if you need to read only integers from text box you can
have integer member variable, m_iNumericData in your dialog class.
Inside DoDataExchange method of the dialog add following line with
correct arguments

DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_MYEDIT, m_iNumericData)

I use Visual C++ 4.2 Professional.

I want to validate so that user only able to input numeric values. I've
looked for the keydown notify message, but I could not find one.

I've tried to trap the input by deriving a new class named CEditExt from
CEdit and make OnChar event but it did not work, I've debugged it but when I
press any non-numeric key, the program sequence did not entering the OnChar
event.

What is wrong?

I've attached my codes below:

Thank you very much.

in .cpp file:

// CEditExt
IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CEditExt, CEdit)

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CEditExt, CEdit)
        ON_WM_CHAR()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
// CEditExt $B%a%C%;!<%8(B $B%O%s%I%i(B

void CEditExt::OnChar( UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags )
{
        if( nChar < '0' || nChar > '9' )
        {
                if ( nChar != VK_BACK )
                        return;
        }
        CEditExt::OnChar( nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags );

}

in .h file:
class CEditExt : public CEdit
{
        DECLARE_DYNAMIC( CEditExt )

public:
        CEditExt();
        virtual ~CEditExt();

protected:
        DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()

public:
        afx_msg void OnChar( UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags );

};
