i am using a combobox and the current selection is displayed in its edit control. After clicking the dropdown button of the combo box, if the user does not select any of the items in the listbox of the combo box, then how to display the previously selected item in the edit control of the combo box.
Thanks...

You will have to store the index of the previously selected item in some variable. If the user does not select anything you can show the same item that was being displayed earlier using this index.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Hi,
I think you need a member variable where you save yor last selection, initialising with CB_ERR (nothing selected) Wenn you clicking the dropdown button you ask if (getCurSel() == CB_ERR) if its TRUE you call SetCurSel(yourVar)

hi,

If you doesnt select the ComboBox then the Index value is always -1

so

if(cmb.getCurSel()== -1) //Nothing but CB_ERR.
{
cmb.setCurSel(previous index value);
}

Think clever.

If nothing is selected (i.e., the mouse is clicked outside of the control), the selection does not change.

Open a MDI childframe without using the menue

yummi23-Aug-06 22:07

23-Aug-06 22:07

Hi,
I have a MDI application with one open childframe.
I want to open a new childframe automaticly. I call OpenDocumentFile(file) and the childframe opens, the correct data will be displayed. When I look on the Document template I can see that for every childframe it exist an doc. But when I want to use the document functions for saving for example then I use only the document of my childframe that exist before I used OpenDocumentFile().

Must I do something to bind the document template to the right childframe?

Thanks for help

Problem with SetClipboardData on Win98 [modified]

I have code written as below :

CString csText;
HANDLE hData=NULL;

m_emailAddress.GetWindowText( csText );

if( (hData=GlobalAlloc( GMEM_MOVEABLE|GMEM_DDESHARE, (csText.GetLength()+1) )) )
{
LPVOID lpLockedMemory=NULL;
lpLockedMemory = GlobalLock( hData );

CopyMemory( lpLockedMemory, csText.GetBuffer(csText.GetLength()), csText.GetLength() );

if( SetClipboardData( CF_TEXT, lpLockedMemory ) == NULL )
{
AfxMessageBox( "Unable to set Clipboard data" );
GlobalUnlock( lpLockedMemory );
lpLockedMemory = NULL;
CloseClipboard();
return;
}
}

Now, this code works fine on Winxp, but for Win98 I get NULL as return value of SetClipboardData(). Can anyone help on this?

What work does this require ? I mean, I have no knowledge of databasis and SQL and so, but is this done easily or do you have to dig somewhere to find the thread and reput it in another table ?

No win98 system , to check this.
Can you use GetLastError to check what error its returning.

Your memory management is a bit off. Call GlobalUnlock() before SetClipboardData(). If SetClipboardData() succeeds, the clipboard owns the memory, so you're done. If it fails, you need to GlobalFree() the memory.

It is not necessary to call GetBuffer() since you are not modifying csText.

sachinbhave wrote:

Which means you should be calling GetLastError() to find out why.

sachinbhave wrote:
GlobalUnlock( lpLockedMemory );

You should be calling this function regardless of whether SetClipboardData() fails or not.

sachinbhave wrote:
CloseClipboard();

There's no reason to call this if SetClipboardData() fails. Nothing is open at that point.

You need to add the entries of the control in the message map manually. The best way to do it is to look how class wizard does and do the same for your control.
So, add an edit box to your dialog, add the handler with classwizard look at the message maps entries (in the dialog class header file and source file) and see what has changed. Now you can do the same for your control.

Hi Cedric Moonen,

My Doubt is that the CEditBox doesn't Handle the WM_RBUTTON_DOWN Event. The Events handled for the Edit Box are.

EN_CHANGE,EN_ERRORSPACE,EN_HSCROLL,EN_KILLFOCUS,EN_MAXTEXT,EN_SETFOCUS,EN_UPDATE.

What about the Event Handler of WM_RBUTTON_WOWN Event.

please tell me your suggestions.
