Converting textBox1->Text into a basic string.
How would I do this in Visual C++ 9?

I'll presume that your text box is on a CDialog and it's control ID is IDC_EDIT1:

TCHAR szBuf[256];
GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1, szBuf, strlen(szBuf));
string sText(szBuf);

Is that what you were after?

What is that?
It dosn't even have "textBox1->Text" in it.

Thats because you are doing a Forms application which is .NET, there showing you how to do it
in MFC, by the ID which is better. forms is quite lame and even lamer because you need the .NET framework.
But here you Go:

String* myStr = textBox1->text; // to string

int myInt = Convert::toInt32(myStr); // to int

Why not make it simple? add a variable myTextBox;

CString str;
myTextBox.GetWindowText(str);
