I need to premise that I'm a novice in visual C++.
Having said that, I'm creating an interface which requires over 200 edit boxes (that return numeric values). By creating 200 edit boxes, however, I get over 200 OnEnChangeEdit###() functions. I would like to have all the edit boxes point to a single function that knows which element of the matrix has been edited. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Francesco

at the top of your dialog class's .CPP file, you'll see a lot of ON_EN_CHANGE(IDC_*, On*) macros that map change events to functions. change all those to point to the same function.

Thanks a lot!
while we're at it, do you know if there's a way to progressively build updates/releases, so that I don't have to edit on previous (working) versions of the program, risking that it WON'T work anymore?
Thanks again!

also, and i hope this is the last question, is there a way to automatically insert say 200 edit boxes all of the same dimensions in an nxm matrix instead of manually having to copy and paste them all?
thanks for all your help!

and any ideas on how to automatically insert say 200 edit boxes all of the same dimensions in an nxm matrix instead of manually having to copy and paste them all?

This sounds like a grid control.

Or, if you really insist in a working one, CVS.

could you briefly tell me how to use CVS? how do i insert it in my project?
thanks.

The CVS-Client I used was WinCVS[^]. There is a lot of documentation about setting up CVS and accessing the repository on that Website.
CVS itself, coming from the Unix side, is rather console-heavy. But in normal use you do not need to use the console if you do not want to.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Incidentally, do you know how to arrange Edit boxes in a matrix without having to copy and paste them and use your eyes to figure out if distances between them are all the same?

HoHum - I think I would close the IDE and edit the rc-file myself. The coordinates are in there, and you can change them as you like.
But this is still tedious work.
The whole concept of the WIN32-resource management is very old fashioned - which is why they started Vista in the first place.

but then how do I know which box was the one that was edited? where do I keep track of that?
|
|

these might come in handy:
#define GetMemberID() \
( (GetCurrentMessage()->wParam) & 0x0000ffff )
#define GetMemberWnd() \
( FromHandlePermanent( (HWND) (GetCurrentMessage()->lParam) ) )
(found em via Google)

I still haven't been able to figure out how this works. I can't assign a vector to the edit box because DDX_Control doesn't accept that.
Is there anything else you can suggest?

Here's the problem: I have 220 edit control boxes placed in a 10x22 matrix into which I have to individually insert numbers between -255 and 255. By editing the content of a box, I also know the address of the cell that was edited, and this is crucial. If I set up each box to go into the same subroutine (which is what I want), such as:
ON_EN_CHANGE(IDC_EDIT_Weights101, OnEnChangeEditWeights)
ON_EN_CHANGE(IDC_EDIT_Weights102, OnEnChangeEditWeights)
then in the OnEnChangeEditWeights subroutine, I also HAVE to be able to recognize which cell (101 or 102) was edited. What I wanted to do was to have a situation like this:
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_EDIT_Weights101, weight[1]);
DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_EDIT_Weights102, weight[2]);
which is illegal because DDX control does not accept vectors. So how do I get the information about: 1) the box that was edited; 2) the value inserted, without having to create 220 individual subroutines, each with its own variable (weight1, weight2,...) that contains the address?
Let me know if this is clear enough.

weight[x] is an int?
what about DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT_Weights101, weight[1]);
DDX_Control maps to a CWnd. but DDX_Text maps to int, float, CString, etc..
---
and, just FYI, if you can ensure that the IDs for the edit controls always fall into a fixed range, you can use the ON_CONTROL_RANGE[^] macro to handle the EN_CHANGE message. that will provide your handler the control ID - a little cleaner than using that macro i posted yesterday, but requires some diligence around the resource IDs.

I tried the first suggestion and here's what i got:
error C2665: 'DDX_Text' : none of the 17 overloads can convert parameter 3 from type 'HWND__'
am i doing something wrong?
i'll take a look at the on_control_range macro

i assume width[] was a vector of ints. i guess it's a vector of HWNDs ?
use DDX_Text to put data into ints. use DDX_Control to associate CWnd-derived classes with resource IDs

This is printed in a file or ? Please be more explicit.
If it is for a file, you can use fprintf and there are some parameters you can play on (for example the number of digits you want to see, the number of 'places' it will take, the alignment,...).
