simple mathematic operations you say ?
look at this[^]
TOXCCT >>> GEII power

Use the generic C Runtime function _tstof().
See MSDN for more info...
Hope this helps...

Thanks for all your help guys, but I tried all the functions that you suggested and they all require 'const char' where the CString seems to be 'unsigned short'. The compiler always gives me convertion errors...
It must be my VB background but I can't seem to get my head around this, while people must use it in code all the time. Does anyone have a small snippit of code to show me how they do it?
This is what I've got...
int ListIndex;
CString WorkingStr;
CString TempStr;
float TAG;
CListBox * List1=(CListBox *)GetDlgItem(IDC_LIST1);
ListIndex = List1->GetCurSel();
List1->GetText(ListIndex,WorkingStr);
TempStr = WorkingStr.Mid(54,8);
TAG = atof(TempStr);
So we know that last line is the problem, but what can I do to fix it?
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
I know how to change the dropdown width of a combobox during runtime, but does anyone know how to change the width of the actual combobox at runtime?
Thanks,
Murrah Boswell

The combo box is the actual control, and the drop-down list box is a child of the combo box.
- To set the width of the list box, send a CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH message (Win32) or call CComboBox::SetDroppedWidth (MFC).
- To set the width of the combo box control, call SetWindowPos (Win32) or CWnd::SetWindowPos (MFC).
Hope this helps you out.

Hi, I've created a linked list and in my C++ source file I'm creating objects and passing them to a linked list in a loop. I want to loop over the linked list to show that the values are actually in the list. How would I do this?
I've uploaded all the code here if you want to take a look: http://www.hostmaster-x.co.uk/c++/
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,

If this is not homework, why are you not just using the list class included in C++ ?
Otherwise, just grab the first item, and keep stepping through the list, printing out each item as you go, or whatever else your homework requires. The code you've commented out looks like it should work, if your list is working.

Christian, thank you for your reply. This is homework - kind of. I'm not taking classes as such, just dabbling a little. From what you have said it would seem that the list isn't working correctly because when I uncomment the code I get the following output:
Please enter the driver's name then press enter:
driver1
name = driver1
driver2
name = driver2
driver3
name = driver3
name 1:
name 2:
name 1:
name 2:
Press any key to continue
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Cheers again,
lordmickel

Cool - I applaud that you're writing your own list then. Once it works, you'll understand how they work, and you should then use the STL exclusively 
What happens when you step through the code in the debugger ? Are your values getting stored correctly in the list ? What about the pointer values as you step through, where do they go ?

Thank you, thank you! ........ I'm not really familiar with stepping through the code, MS VC++ doesn't seem to be too helpful - or perhaps its just me. Unfortunately I can't really answer any of your questions exactly.
When I ran the debugger, the command prompt popped up and began running the program. When it had finished it produced this:
Loaded 'ntdll.dll', no matching symbolic information found.
Loaded 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\kernel32.dll', no matching symbolic information found.
The thread 0xF9C has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The program 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\text_class\Debug\text_class.exe' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Is there a better, more user friendly compiler that I could use that would be able to step through the code properly? I can't seem to get VC++ to do it 
Thanks again,
lordmickel

The problem is not the compiler
Use F9 to set breakpoints ( they look like a big black circle on the left margin, make sure you're building a debug version and hit F5. Then VC++ will stop at the breakpoint and allow you to step through the code, set and check variable values, etc.

If you need to 'prove' that certain elements (an element of a list contains a value and a pointer to the next element) are members of a list, then the most effective way is to start from the header element and print the value of the 'next' pointer, which is the address of the next element. Then you would move into the next element, print it's address (which resolves to the same as the 'next' pointer on the previous cell), and print the value of this new element's 'next' pointer and move on again, repeating the process.
This will bring forth an effective way to prove that certain elements are linked to each other. It will not work for circularly linked lists, because the loop would never end. For a non-circular list, the last 'next' pointer is a NULL value.
However, I see no reason in 'proving' that the elements are members of a list. Why would anyone need to do such ? Isn't it enough if the list fills it's purpose, whatever that purpose might be ?

Antti, thank you for your reply. I had set something like that up in my classes but something isn't working correctly. I'm just doing this to prove that the list works - which at the moment it doesn't. Thanks for the circular linked list tip.
Thanks again,

Your first problem is that you are not storing valid pointers in your list. Try replacing the load code with,
details * driver = new details ;
driver->enter_driver_name();
output.DisplayDriverName(driver->get_name());
list.add_driver(driver);
And to print the contents try,
details* pDriver = list.getFirstDriver();
while ( pDriver )
{
cout << "name: " << pDriver->get_name() << "\n" << endl;
pDriver = list.getNextDriver () ;
}
Note I haven't suggested changed anything in your details or list classes which are basically working... Although you haven't made any attempt to manage memory, a 'package' should probably be able to delete a 'details' and a 'driver_list' should probably have a destructor that deletes all the packages.

Paul, please forgive me for the extremely late reply. I've changed the code and it works perfectly, thank you so much for your very helpful reply!

Does anyone have ideas on how i can retrieve the following system information:
1. processor serial #
2. hard-disk serial #
Thanks

GetVolumeInformation() will get you a disk's serial number.

For the processor serial number, you have to dive into assembly language, but mixing assembly and C++ is not hard. See this Intel PDF[^] for details of the CPUID instruction and how to use it. Bear in mind that a) onyl Pentium III and above actually support the CPU serial number b) it can usually be turned off in the BIOS, even if the processor supports it.
For the hard disk serial number, if you mean the volume serial number, then Ravi's answer is all you need. If you're after the physical serial number that the manufacturer puts on a drive, that's more tricky, since you'll need different approaches for IDE and SCSI drives, and even then the actual physical disks may be connected to a RAID controller, which is "hiding" the actual hardware.

Are you sure that's true? I've just stepped though a program we have here that uses the CPUID instruction to get the vendor string and other info, and I was running VC6 interactively on the desktop (with Administrative privileges on a WinXP SP1 machine). I'm not using a device driver, just running a desktop application.
