I guess I am kinda confused, the structure that I am trying to access is declared in CMainFrame.. so do i need to create an identical structure in my view then use the code that you posted?
By the way, thanks for the super fast response

No. In the first snippet I posted, a pointer to the structure inside your CMainFrame is declared and set. No duplication is made, you access the one and only structure through the pointer.
As for the second snippet, it does basically the same but using references instead of pointers. If you don't know what references are, use the first form (though it is advisable that you learn about C++ references in some C++ tutorial).

Thanks again.. but in the code you posted..
MyStruct * pStruct=&pMain->m_MyStruct;
What is MyStruct?
Maybe its how i created the structure in CMainFrame.. am I doing something wrong?
struct m_MyStruct
{
CString strA;
CString strB;
CString strC;
CString strD;
int iA;
int iB;
};

The following works perfectly.. Is there a problem doing it this way??
CMainFrame* pMain = (CMainFrame*)AfxGetMainWnd();
CMainFrame::m_MyStruct* pFriend;
Thanks!

Hey,
Its a pretty simple idea really, I'm trying to make a file searcher thats uses a worker thread to do the searching so the user can hit cancel at any time and it won't hang the program. So far the thread is working, it will search and add a list of all the files I want into a CStringArray, but the problem is that I need to use this CStringArray in the main program so it can store the list.
A brief code summary is <br />
---To begin the Thread---<br />
CWinThread* pThread = AfxBeginThread(ListFunc,this);<br />
HANDLE hThread = pThread->m_hThread;<br />
WaitForSingleObject(hThread,INFINITE);<br />
<br />
---To get the search running---<br />
UINT ListFunc(LPVOID pParam)<br />
{<br />
CMyDlg* local = (CMyDlg*)pParam;<br />
local->BuildFileList(local->m_startDir);<br />
return 0;<br />
}<br />
<br />
---To do the actual searching---<br />
void CMyDlg::BuildFileList(CString startingDir)<br />
{<br />
chdir(startingDir);<br />
CFileFind finder;<br />
BOOL bWorking = finder.FindFile();<br />
int counter = 0;<br />
CStringArray pathArray;<br />
pathArray.SetSize(500,500);<br />
<br />
while (bWorking && running)<br />
{<br />
bWorking = finder.FindNextFile();<br />
<br />
if (finder.IsDots())<br />
continue;<br />
<br />
if (finder.IsDirectory())<br />
{<br />
CString str = finder.GetFilePath();<br />
TRACE("str = %s\n",str);<br />
BuildFileList(str);<br />
}<br />
<br />
CString temp = finder.GetFilePath();<br />
if(temp.Find(".wav",0)!= -1)<br />
{<br />
TRACE("Found wav file = %s\n",temp);<br />
temp.Delete(0,(m_startDir.GetLength()+1));<br />
TRACE("wav file now is = %s\n",temp);<br />
pathArray[counter] = temp; <br />
}<br />
filePathArray[counter] = pathArray[counter];<br />
counter++; <br />
}<br />
noOfFiles = counter+1;<br />
filePathArray.Copy(pathArray); <---- Heres the problem as I see it<br />
finder.Close();<br />
}<br />
The problem as far as I know is the filePathArray.Copy function near the end. The filePathArray is a CStringArray defined in the actual Dlg class that I want to store all of the details. But as it is, when the thread ends after a
WaitForSingleObject(hThread,INFINITE);
The filePathArray is empty  Does anyone know where I'm going wrong with this thing before I go slightly loopy? At one point I had it copying a list of stuff I didn't want (a list of files in a dir, not .wav files) but I cannot get it to copy anything at all now.
Thanks for looking lads

Try replacing Copy with Append.

hehe, thanks Joaquin, again you're first to chip in an answer
I'll give that a try as soon as I work out the bigger problem I just noticed. Its amazing what you can find out if you add small bits to a TRACE statement. Just found out that when it searches a new directory it resets the counter to 0 so I think I need to fix that first

Just tried it, as well as fixing my counter messup that Append did the trick.
Thanks again

Hi!
I need to create a listview where each row would be multiline i.e. each row would have a normal look with an item for each column and another row (a single line) where I couls display some text... The two lines would actualy be ONE item in the list.
I've read many tutorials and many forum threads but nothing seems to do what I really want.
Does anybody know how to do that? I could be a little more clear if necessary...

CListCtrl provide multicolumn functionality (referred to as items and subitems). Is this what you're after?

Yes... But I want to know how to do something like this:
|Column 0|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3|
-------------------------------------
| item 1 | item 1 | item 1 | item 1 |
-------------------------------------
| Text related to item 1... |
-------------------------------------
| item 2 | item 2 | item 2 | item 2 |
-------------------------------------
| Text related to item 2... |
-------------------------------------
etc...

I see... Well, seems like neither CListCtrl nor any of the various grid controls around the net can do this in a easy way.
Maybe this is a solution for your particular problem: CListBox provides a very primitive pseudocolumn facility, by which a string can be displayed as if composed of several substrings tabulated at fixed positions (see CListBox::SetTabStops), each substring being marked by a '\t' character. Maybe you can mix '\t'-tabulated rows with regular rows to achieve a result similar to what you need.

Can't there be a better way to do so?
I saw a lot of embended "tree control in a listview" but I don't wanna use trees...

So embed a CListCtrl or CComboBox instead...

Easier said than done.... I'm still just a MFC novice...
I'll try though...

Hi, I am trying to get a CFileDialog to display having overridden the default implementations of OnFileSaveAs(). My problem is that when CFileDialog::DoModal() is called by my app an access violation occurs.
The funny thing is, no Windows messages are generated to show me this - the only way it is detectable is by running the app from within the debugger at which point I am told in a message box that an access violation has occurred in KERNEL32.DLL when I attempt to display the dialog. I am quite sure I am supplying the correct parameters to the constructor, and if I try to display the Dialog in the same way from a new app everything works fine.
This has confused me for hours now. It seems strange that there are no assertion faliures, and even that when it occurs when the app is not run from within the debugger no messages are displayed - the app just quits!
Any, Any help would really be appreciated as I am close to losing what little hair I have left over this.
Cheers, Alex.

Try posting the code for your CFileDialog-derived class (if it is not excessively large).

That's the thing - it's not a derived class. Using it it even this way causes the same problem:
CFileDialog dlg(FALSE); // or even TRUE;
dlg.DoModal();
Obviously this is not the way I want to initialize it in my app, but even this does not work.
Was wondering if something like an invalid pointer somewhere else could cause this sort of thing. It's the only thing I can come back to after days of screaming over this.
Any ideas?

Also, you might want to check Nishant S' article CDocument::DoSave revealed[^], which seemingly is relevant to your needs.

Just for curiosity's sake: what is the structure of your name? Is 'Nishant' your given name and 'S' an abbreviation of your family name, the other way around?

Here in South India we have a weird naming pattern. In the western countries you have family names. You have Mr. Sam Brown, his son Mr. Jason Brown, grandson Mr. Tony Brown etc… So they are all Browns, huh?
Here we don’t follow that at all. My name is Nishant. My initial is S which expands to Sivakumar (which you guys take to be my surname). Sivakumar is my dad’s name, but his initials are P.K. (which expand to his dad’s name)
So if you have Sam Johnson here, his son will be Tony Sam (the Johnson is dropped and his dad’s first name is his surname). Now Tony Sam’s son might be George Tony etc…
You get me I hope

Nish

I think I got it, sort of Russian patronimics (for instance, Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov's father was named Roman Raskolnikov).
In Spain, things are funny, too (and most of the time ununderstandable for Anglosaxons). My name consists of of a compound given name (Joaquín M, 'M' is an abbreviation for 'María') and two family names López and Muñoz, which correspond to the first family names of my father and mother. So, If I had a baby with a girl named, for instance, Carmen González García, and decided to call her Ana, the baby's full name would be Ana López González. Not hard once you get it, but people from other countries often have a hard time trying to figure out the various parts of Spaniards' names.
