Dear Techies,

I am a newbie to STL and MFC, I need bit clues for my app to build.

I have std::vector<std::string> xyz; and to using this variable I need to add data in a Combo Box, to add data I've used AddString(),but AddString() takes only string.
So pls help me suggesting how to add the above variable to add data to the combo box,any specific conversions required..?

Pls suggest.

Thanks.

Regards,
Techie.

what is the vectorxyz type?

It depends on what data you want to have in the combo box items, in what order.

though i never heard of std:vectorxyz, i could suggest you to use std::vector<cstring> and using std::vector::foreach to add all vector content to combobox. this link might be useful for you!

Solution 2

Something like

C++

for (vector<string>::iterator it = xyz.begin(); it != xyz.end(); ++it)
{
    m_combo.AddString(it->c_str());
}

or

C++

for (size_t i = 0; i < xyz.size(); ++i)
{
    m_combo.AddString(xyz[i].c_str());
}

(off the top of my head)
