Hello,

I have created dialog without resources and the dialog has a combobox on it. The combo box appears on the dialog and I can select options from it .

But the selected item is not transferred in a variable.The DoDataExchane() does not transfer the content from the control to a variable.
I think I need to subclass the dlg item for the messages to work properly.
How do I subclass the combo box ?

Thanks and regards
Prithaa

Do you want the cursor selection of the combo box to be transferred to a variable or the actual data? If you want the cursor selection, use:

SendMessage(hComboBox, CB_GETCURSEL, 0,0);

where hComboBox is the window handle to your combo box.

If you want to get the actual data, use:

SendMessage(hComboBox, CB_GETLBTEXT, SendMessage(hComboBox, CB_GETCURSEL, 0,0),&text_buffer);

See MSDN for more on CB_GETLBTEXT[^]

where hComboBox is the window handle to your combo box, and text_buffer is a char which receives the data.

Hope this helps!

U can use this code

CComboBox m_combo;//in header file
m_combo=(CComboBox *)GetDlgItem(ID_OF_COMBOBOX);

so now you can use m_combo as member variable , if you use this u don not need
DoDataExchane()

Good Luck

Hello,
Thanks
For now my problem is solved and I could get the value from the combo box without DoDataExchange() because I do not know subclassing .
But is it possible to do the subclassing part and is it as simple as calling
SubclassDlgItem() for my combo box and then using the id in DoDataExchange() for value of data.

Thanks

Why do you think that the dialog needs to be subclassed?

Thanks for all your replies,

I thought subclassing enables to handle windows controls (messaging) on a dialog box which is made without resources .so I should subclass the windows controls on the dialog. Also I am not able to use DoDataExchange() function without subclassing.

Are you creating this dialog at runtime? Is there something not known about it at design time?

How do you want this data to be stored? In a database file or just a text file with your own formatting and syntax?

Better get started. Turning in late homework is a no-no!

Strange - I don't see anything related to templates in there.

If I include that file anywhere in my projects it compiles fine.

What's the code at and around the offending line?

WPCAP should be all capitals, right? Smile | :)

You can't show the offending lines of code? Please?

I don't have pcap.h, so I can't try it, but I imagine windows header files need to be included
before or after it because of some name conflict or something. You may want to change where you
include that file. I can only guess without seeing it.

Do you by any chance introduced such code in you project:

extern "C" {
//...
#include "SOMEHEADER.h"
//...
}

where SOMEHEADER may be wspiapi.h or any header file that may use wspiapi.h.
