Just modify the one until you get it right. Preview helps in this endeavor.

Also, use <pre> tags instead of <code> tags so that your indention is preserved.

You've got various syntax errors there - semicolon after main(), braces stuck in the middle of nowhere, etc.

CListView question

Is there a way to insert a item into a list control with the LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK already set to "checked"?

I am trying to catch a LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK change in OnLvnItemchanged and I don't want to catch the initial population of the list.

Right now I insert the item into the list control then SetCheck(0) that causes me to catch the LVIS_STATEIMAGEMASK change when the list is first populated.

Any Ideas?

One way around this is to set a flag variable to true before populating the list, and then set it to false after populating the list. Then in the OnLvnItemchanged() method, don't do anything if the flag variable is equal to true. Make sense?

Yeah I'll have to set it up that way... I guess I was just wondering if it was possible to set the lvi to a checked state before inserting it into the control. Guess not.

Thanks for your help!

An edit box is being used for displaying the status of loop iterations. It uses the following approach:

ebptr->SetWindowText(s);
UpdateWindow(FALSE);

How can one get the updated edit box text to display before continuing?

Thanks in advance.

Even though a WM_PAINT message was sent to the window's queue, it won't get processed because the loop is not yielding control of the CPU.

Use RedrawWindow() specifing the RDW_UPDATENOW flag to force a WM_PAINT message to be sent to the window.

CRecordset ? DoFieldExchange ??

Hi ,

I am having problem when I assign a string more than 255 characters to a CRecordset memeber like

(m_Result is a CString)
Res->m_Result=str1; (str1 is more than 255 characters)
UpDate();

and I get a exception "Debug Assertion Failed , DBFRX line 287 ".

Is there any other way of setting string more than 255 characters using CRecordset->Update() ???

Thanks,
ZINC

What type/size of field in your table is m_Result tied to?

its a ACCESS table and field is of ntext type

Not sure how 'ntext' compares to 'text' but how large is the field?

its of CString type

You have already indicated that m_Result is a CString object. My question was about the field in the database.

m_Result is bound to of ntext(length 16) type field in SQL Server . I have tried to change the field to varchar (length 700) but no diff. I still got the same exception.

any other sugestions ?

string problem???

When i enter the words rents and will the program will say "will is larger than rents" which is wrong. I can't figure out why it's doing that. I supplied the code below (might have forgot little things like ; or ,). If anyone can tell me what is wrong it would help me a lot. I'm new to C++ programming.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string a, b;

cout << "Enter two words." << endl;
cin >> a >> b;
cin.ignore(10,'\n');

string small, big;

if (a < b)
{
small = a;
big = b;
}

if (a > b)
{
small = b;
big = a;
}

if (a.size() == b.size() && a != b))
{
cout << "Same size, but different string" << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}

if (a == b)
{
cout << "Their the same string" << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}

cout << big << " is larger than " << small << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}

will is larger than rents ...

the < or > compare lexicographically; so W is bigger than R.

anyway, in my case, my will will be bigger than my rent ... :->

if(a.size() > b.size())
{
....
}

if(a.size() < b.size())
{
....
}

if you are compairing the lengths.

no it will not.

R is still smaller ( or equal ) than W, whatever the length of the rest of the strings.

what are you trying to compare ? the string length ? or the lexical order ?
