I'm wondering if the ATL forum would be of any help.

I gonna post there, too. Thx for your help

I think I see what might be ailing you. Try this:
CMyStoreClass *store = new CMyStoreClass;
store->m_strName = "Test";
store->m_arFirstArray = 5;
store->m_arSecondArray = 6;
[...].if(m_Rules.IsEmpty())
m_Rules.AddHead(store);
else
m_Rules.AddTail(store); BTW, you can use AddTail() exclusively rather than calling IsEmpty() and AddHead().

I'm trying to convert a Ctring I read from an editbox into a float. This is the code I've got so far;
CString val, txtEdit;<br />
float boxval = 0.2f;<br />
<br />
GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDITBOX,txtEdit);<br />
char *txt = (char *) (LPCTSTR) txtEdit; <br />
<br />
<br />
sscanf(txt, "%f", &boxval);<br />
val.Format(_T("%f"), boxval);<br />
AfxMessageBox(val);
Unfotunately it does not return the right float. It does return a float but it is truncated to its integer value. I.e. if I enter 2.3 it returns 2.00.
Could anyone help me here? What am I doing wrong?
What's the best way to convert a string into a float?
Thanks!

How about:
GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDITBOX, txtEdit);
double d = atof(txtEdit);

Thanks, I had tried that too but have the exact same problem!
I should prob add that it works ok with text in define in the code but not with text I read from an edit box...
Really don't understand what I'm doing wrong???

What is the value of txtEdit after the call to GetDlgItemText()?

When I display it in a messagebox its value is the decimal value read from the edit box.

Unless there is something else going on that is not being shown, the code snippet I provided will work.

Actually I've only just realised that only the first digit is being converted. I.e. if I enter 2.3 I get 2.00 but if I enter 14.6 I get 1.00.
I must do something really wrong somewhere but I can't see where! 
Thanks for your help!

Something's definitely amiss here. If you don't make the call to GetDlgItemText but, instead, just set txtEdit to "2.334" (for example), boxval ends up being 2.334 (or whatever you ste in txtEdit). This works just fine...tested it m'self, I did.
So something's not right, and it's definitely something to do with the conditions under which GetDlgItemText is called. Maybe you're only responding to single keystrokes in the edit box, I'm not sure.
Some things to try testing:
* GetDlgItemText returns the number of characters copied. Store this returned value to an int and make sure it's returning the right number of characters.
* sscanf returns the number of arguments extracted from the string. So if your sscanf() isn't returning '1', then something's wrong.

First thanks for the help! Much appreciated! 
Here's my exact code now;
void CmySpinButtonCtrl::OnDeltapos(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult) <br />
{<br />
NM_UPDOWN* pNMUpDown = (NM_UPDOWN*)pNMHDR;<br />
<br />
<br />
CString tmp, txtEdit="82.45";<br />
float boxval;<br />
<br />
char *txt = (char *) (LPCTSTR) txtEdit; <br />
sscanf(txt, "%f", &boxval);<br />
double d = atof(txt); <br />
<br />
tmp.Format(_T("atof is %f"), d);<br />
AfxMessageBox(tmp);<br />
tmp.Format(_T("sscanf is %f"), boxval);<br />
AfxMessageBox(tmp);<br />
<br />
<br />
*pResult = 0;<br />
}
Both Message boxes display the same value 8.0000.
This function is being called every time the spinner is clicked on.
I'm lost now! What am I doing wrong?

Try putting a breakpoint at the start of the function, then single step through it (with F10). Use your Watch window to watch the values of tmp, txtEdit, boxval, and d as each line is executed. Validate the values at each step, and make sure you see the following:
(code) (output)
CString tmp, txtEdit="82.45";
float boxval;
char *txt = (char *)(LPCTSTR)txtEdit;
sscanf(txt, "%f", &boxval);
double d = atof(txt);
tmp.Format(_T("atof is %f", d);
tmp.Format(_T("sscanf is %f", boxval);
Definitely a stumper, but it's definitely worth single stepping.
As a side note on programming practice, you should do the following:
const char * txt = (LPCTSTR)txtEdit; instead of your original char * txt = (char *)(LPCTSTR)txtEdit;. You may run into unintended consequences if you force a const to a non-const. It's not hurting you here, but it could bite you in bad places. I'm curious to know if you get a compiler warning from your original statement.

Thanks again for your precious help!
So using the debugger I've now realised that the line char *txt = (char *)(LPCTSTR)txtEdit; is the one causing the problem. In the debbuger the value for txt is 8.00. Funny the message box was returning the right charactere when reading from the edit box..
I have tried using char * txt = (char *)(LPCTSTR)txtEdit; instead but it gives me the error cannot convert from 'const unsigned short *' to 'const char *'.

Sorry tried using const char * txt = (LPCTSTR)txtEdit; and got the error!
|
|
|
|
|
I didn't say that was the line causing the problem  I was just touching on coding practice. So have you single-stepped through the code and checked the values of the variables after each line is executed?

No no, I stepped throught the code and that's where the problem is!
I've tried atof and sscanf again defining the char instead of the Cstring and they work fine!
All I need to do now is copy my Cstring into a char, unfortunately const char * txt = (LPCTSTR)txtEdit; doesn't work! 
Thanks again!!!

Actually... CString has a LPCTSTR operator that will perform the conversion automatically in many cases. So:
CString sFloat = "123.45";
const char * szText = sFloat;
float boxval;
int nArgs = sscanf(sFloat, "%s", &boxval);
double d = atof(sFloat);
In all three cases, the compiler understands (based on the l-value in the assignment statements and the prototypes for sscanf and atof) that you're using the LPCTSTR operator for CString.
The code above will compile and run successfully, and boxval and d will be 123.45.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you've changed something elsewhere in the program, even a minor change, and it fixed the problem.

CString sFloat = "123.45";
const char * szText = sFloat;
This gives me the following error;
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'class CString' to 'const char *'
float boxval;
int nArgs = sscanf(sFloat, "%s", &boxval);
error C2664: 'sscanf' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class CString' to 'const char *'
double d = atof(sFloat);
error C2664: 'atof' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class CString' to 'const char *'
Thank you so much!!!

There are some underlying issues here that have not been explained. Did you use AppWizard to create the project? If so, what type of project is it?

Sorry, I'm new to all of this.
I did use AppWizard to create the project with eMbedded visual C++ 3.0 for Pocket PC 2002 application.
Shall it change anything?
Sorry to keep on bothering you all!
Thanks.

By this I assume it is not Visual Studio v6.

The compiler errors you are seeing hint at MFC not being properly defined within the project. As has already been pointed out, CString has an LPCTSTR operator and for that not to work means something is wrong further upstream.

It's definitely not a bother. But, like most crime dramas on tv, it helps to provide the detective with all pertinent information up front so that s/he can look for clues in all the right places.

I'm not sure exactly what you are after here but converting text to double, as the subject implies, is as simple as the code snippet I provided earlier. The other code you have is definitely not necessary. You appear to be doing:
text --> double --> text
Is there a point to this exercise? If you are simply wanting to show in a message box what was typed, two lines of code will suffice:
GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDITBOX, txtEdit);
AfxMessageBox("Value is " + txtEdit);If you need the value for calculation reasons, just call atof(txtEdit).
