Re: How to store a numeric value to *.mdb table from interface

Add a handler for IDOK using the class wizard. In your OnOk() member function add code to store your long value to the database using ODBC. I believe you have to add your code after the call to the base class.

Add dynamic text to a Dialog Body

Well, im not sure its refered to as dynamic text, but here's what i want to do.

Suppose i have a word in a text file. I input that word into a string, call it str_word. What i'd like to do is display that word in my dialog box. Just like i would a static test, but instead of creating the static text before runtime, it outputs the str_word.

ie, in a console application, i'd do something like...

cout << "You are now editing " << str_word << endl;

thats essentially what i'd like to do, but this is in a MFC dialog box, not in an edit control, listbox or anything, its just like static text.

Add a static text to your dialog (put anything you want in it, you can put an empty string) and rename it to another ID (say IDC_MYTEXT). Be sure the static text window is long enough to contain all the desired text.
Then read your string and use this:
GetDlgItem(IDC_MYTEXT)->SetWindowText(str_word);

Or even SetDlgItemText( IDC_MYTEXT, str_word ) which is quicker to type, and has less 'noise', IMO.

This is just for my personal knowledge, but ion C++, is tere an easier way to convert a string into an LPCTSTR? Here's how im doing it now, which is quite laborious...

<br />
int ch_num = 0;<br />
string tool_name;<br />
LPCTSTR str_word = "";<br />
channel_gettoolname(ch_num, tool_name);<br />
tool_name += ".";<br />
CString boo;<br />
char bleh[100];<br />
for(int i = 0; i < tool_name.size(); i++)<br />
{<br />
	bleh[i] = tool_name[i];<br />
	boo += bleh[i];<br />
}<br />
str_word = boo;<br />
GetDlgItem(IDC_ch0edittxt)->SetWindowText(str_word);<br />

where channel_gettoolname(ch_num, tool_name); passes a string, 'tool_name' by reference.

i have to covnert my string into an array of Char, convert the array of Char into a CString, then convert the CString into an LPCTSRT. i tried strcpy() but it kept saying i cant convert a string into a char.

If you mean a std::string, bear in mind that it isn't a Unicode string, it's an ANSI one. If you're compiling for ANSI, this isn't a problem (since TCHAR == char, for a build where UNICODE isn't defined).

You can access the array of characters in a std::string by calling the c_str() member function.

You should be able to write:

std::string tool_name;

channel_gettoolname( ch_num, tool_name );
tool_name += ".";

SetDlgItemText( IDC_ch0edittxt, tool_name.c_str() );

Hey, where'd my line-spacing go?? Mad | :mad:

The default behavior is for it to be removed, thus freeing up a bit more of the control. Why would you want it to stay around?

Do you have to use ActiveX or may be you could settle for the common control? If yes use resource editor in VC7(6) and pick it from the Dialog editor's list of available controls.

CEditView MFC app

Hi,

Created a MFC app that uses the CEditView as a base class. I wanted to know if it was possible to insert text on the editor that pops up automatically. If it is, can i make it so that it comes up on each editor window that comes up?

Also, is there a way to change the app from a multiple document app to just a single document app without starting over?

Thanks in advance.

Lookup CView / CEditView :: OnInitialUpdate ().
This would be an ideal place for a "SetText (...)".

It is possible to switch to an SDI configuration, but I can't remember all the steps.
If you have a lot of code you don't want to simply copy across, create a blank SDI and
a blank MDI app, and compare the two to get the information you want.

There is not an OnInitialUpdate() in my program. I did not see it in class wizard either.

Could you possibly explain to me in more detail?

Is there another way to do this?

thanks again for your help.

ComboBox inside of CDialog

I have a CDialogBar and I put a ComboBox and Button on it. I used the ComboBox property 'Data' and added ITEM; to it. When I load my appl. the word ITEM do not appear. My ComboBox type is a DropDown type, also I wanted the user to be able to add in new items in the combobox. How do I accomplish that?

Re: ComboBox inside of CDialog

Iain Clarke, Warrior Programmer8-Jul-03 1:59

The combobox "data" you type in using the resource editor actually exists as a separate resource
(DLGINIT) in the rc file. This is referenced when a dialog box is created, but presumably not
for a dialog bar.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to add items to a combo box.

After creating the dialog bar, get a pointer to the combo box.

CComboBox *cb = (CComboBox *) (pBar->GetDlgItem (IDC_MYCOMBO));
cb->AddString (....);
cb->SetCurSel (....);

Iain.

The box initializes, but when the user type in something, the program doesn't recognize it and also the initial information is deleted and the combo box is empty again.

This is the code to get the information out.

pActWin = GetActWin();

//Get the MainFrame obj and get the address out of the combo box

CMainFrame* pFrame = ((CMainFrame*) m_pMainWnd);
CDialogBar* pDBar = &(pFrame->m_wndAddressBar);
CComboBox* pCombo = (CComboBox*)

pDBar->GetDlgItem(IDC_Address);
CString strAddress = _T("");

int nIndex = 0;
nIndex = pCombo->GetCurSel();
if(nIndex == CB_ERR)
return;
pCombo->GetLBText(nIndex,strAddress);

How do I let the user enter in information and I do I get that information out?

Thanks for the help
