What about The Documentation?

Enumeration declaration - cppreference.com[^]

And other resources?

CCombobox MFC vc++

I have created a CCombobox drop down and added three data through wizards and disable editing. I wanted to display some data/word initially in the edit ctrl part of the CCombobox before selecting the data present in the drop down.I having difficulty achieving this, could I have some pointers regarding this.

Thanks in advance.

To display some existing (in the combo listbox) item use CComboBox::SetCurSel.
To display some arbitrary text you could use SetWindowText method.

Thanks for replying.
Yes, I've tried using SetWindowText method. It's not showing in the combo box.

What I wanted was when I start my application it shows something like "please select something" before I select anything.

For edit ctrl box... We assigned something to the CSting variable and do UpdataData(FALSE).. I wanted to do something similar like this.

Thanks again.

Are you doing something like:

m_list.AddString(_T("Item 1"));
m_list.AddString(_T("Item 2"));
m_list.AddString(_T("Item 3"));
m_list.AddString(_T("Item 4"));
m_list.InsertItem(0, _T("please select something"));
...
m_list.SetCurSel(0);

It does work for me.
Perhaps, you used DropdownList combo?

Is that an MFC control?

Yes. I meant the MFC combobox with CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style.

Yes, I used MFC combobox with CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style.

Then you will only able to display a string already inserted in the combo listbox. Use either CComboBox::SelectString or CComboBox::SetCurSel.

You are welcome. It always pays to check the documentation first.

error C2143

_Flaviu10-Oct-19 3:41

10-Oct-19 3:41

I come back for another strange error (for me is strange Smile | :)

C++

error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '{'

And the lin with error is:

C++

TestAndClearDirty(ni); // <-- error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '{'

and TestAndClearDirty is declared as:

C++

#define TestAndClearDirty(ni)	\
				test_and_clear(ni, Name)

where test_and_clear(ni, Name) is defined as:

C++

#define test_and_clear(ni, flag)	\
				 test_and_clear_bit(NI_##flag, (ni)->state)

and clear_bit is declared as:

C++

#define test_and_clear_bit(bit, var)			\
({							\
	const BOOL old_state = test_bit(bit, var);	\
	clear_bit(bit, var);				\
	old_state;					\
})

How to get rid of this error ?

Once again there is information missing. I have tried putting those definitions in the correct order and compiling but it produces too many errors and unknown names.

You might try to get rid of those ugly macros (you are using C++, right?).

_Flaviu10-Oct-19 19:47

10-Oct-19 19:47

In fact is a C code which I try to convert to C++. I will try to call directly these functions ... I guess that you said, I am right ?

_Flaviu11-Oct-19 0:29

11-Oct-19 0:29

Yes, but I don't know if I can, because from step TestAndClearDirty(ni); to test_and_clear(ni, Name), the second paramter is missing (see the first post).

Moreover, at step test_and_clear_bit(NI_##flag, (ni)->state) what is the first parameter ?

Richard MacCutchan11-Oct-19 0:55

That is exactly the problem. We do not have that information and you are not providing it.

_Flaviu11-Oct-19 1:08

11-Oct-19 1:08

Believe me, I haven't extra information, for instance, at step test_and_clear(ni, Name), when I try to go to definition of Name, VS editor goes nowhere, searched globally in the whole project, found nothing, and searched in the entire project folder with the external file seeker, found no defintion of this Name parameter ...

Richard MacCutchan11-Oct-19 1:24

11-Oct-19 1:24

In the following macro Name refers to something outside of the definition:

C++

#define TestAndClearDirty(ni)	\
    test_and_clear(ni, Name)

But if Name does not exist in that source module, or is not externalised in a linked module it will never work. My suspicion is that this macro is wrong and Name should be one of the formal parameters, and refer to one of the flags in the ni struct. Something like:

C++

#define TestAndClearDirty(ni, Name)	\
    test_and_clear(ni, Name)

And it would be called by

C++

TestAndClearDirty(ni, some_falg_name);

But I am working completely in the dark and making (probably wild) guesses.

I can only suggest that you go back to the place or person that this code comes from for assistance.
