    Sure. But you are calling GetText() with index and _case. And GetText is checking its paramteres... Did you ever check the value of index?

      You could have read MSDN about GetText(). The index is zerobased. Hence my repeated question (which you seem to refuse to answer): What are you calling GetText() with? Are you calling it with invalid indices (like, perchance, -1)?

          And your Listbox does have 5 entries? Or does it have 4, and the last one is selected? Then you have falling in the ole off-by-one trap. ;P Indices are counting from 0: the last element of the Listbox has the index (SizeOfListbox -1)

              Write proper English. I am not a native speaker and may get your abbreviations wrong. Also, this stuff is complicated enough.

                  Set a breakpoint on return _case; and see if it looks OK in the debugger. If it does, single step into your other class and look if it is still OK.

                        So the CString _case is ok at the end of your function (as listed above). And it is not OK in the function calling that?

                            You said: "The index is 4" and "rite now listbox has only one entry." Are you calling CListBox::GetText( 4, _case) in a CListBox that has only 1 entry?

                                    But in your example you show the code for CMyProj::OnTextList(). It seems as you think you are calling CMyProj::OnTextList(), but in your sample you call CMyProj::OnText() Maybe you should look for the problem in CMyProj::OnText() ?

                                      Ok. What and where is your Error? Not just "Debug Assert", but complete details, please. I get from what you have written, that _case ist still OK, but after it has been assigned to _temp it is no longer OK?

                                        So you corrected your code sample without telling anyone? I suggest you do like this: 1. Learn how to use the debugger. (It's not too hard). 2. Put a breakpoint on this line: _temp=objnew.OnTextList(); 3. Single-step your code, line by line and examine what's happening. That's it. And that's exactly what other people do, IMO. For a good reason.

                                          Short answer: You have created an object of type CClinetdemoDlg but you have not created the actual dialog. The call to both GetCurSel and GetText will fail because they required a window to operate on. Long answer: You appear to be creating lots of temporary instances of the dialog and your CMyProj class. The act of creating the instance does NOT associate the just-created instance with the already existing one. In OnSelChangeList, you create a CClientdemoDlg. This is NOT associated with the actual dialog that I assume you created elsewhere. You then call OnClientChangeListbox in an instance not associated with a window. This causes the problem I mentioned earlier. Also, in that function, you create an instance of CMyProj. This instance is NOT the same as the one that called the function. This is important because you then call OnTextList in the just-created instance of CMyProj and in that function reference the member variable m_caselist. This variable is not the same as the one in the original class that started this calling chain. Accessing this variable will not affect the original caller. Judy
