Solution 1

You need to assign something to m_sFrom.
You are defining it (CString m_sFrom) but it has not been instantiated - thus throwing an error when you try to check the length.

1. OnValidate should receive as parameter the string variable to be checked OR
2. The string variable should be assigned via a third function OR
3. The string variable should be a global variable out of the function...

Anyway, in your code the variable has no value as it has not been initialized... Therefore it is not possible to iterate it...

What Abhinav S tells you is 100% correct you should avoid checking the string if the minimum requirements are not fulfilled...

HTH...
