such as
c1.... E11 E21 E31
c2 .... E12 E22 E32
c3..... E13 E23 E33

Whenever i have select "a" string from combo box 'c1' it should populate E11 E21 E31 field value as "abc, bcd, edc" respectively same for c2 and c3 but diffrent strings values should populate. I know which string for which editboxs.
How I can do it? Thank you in advance..

Solution 1

Handle the change event on the combo box, and react to it. Pretty basic stuff. Why are you a beginner in MFC, in 2013 ? Do people still use MFC and C++ ? C# is way better.
