ComboBox sorting
-
Hi, I am new bie to Dialog Based, I have a combobox and i am reading some values from it. For ex : the values are a,aa,aaa,b,bb,bbb I have set the properties as DropDown,Sort and verticalScroll. If i enter the any value in editbox. For ex if i enter "a" in edit box. I have to get values in sorted Ex a,aa,aaa Any help appreciated Thanks Raj
If i undrstood you correctly, you want an Auto Complete functionality which we see many times in web based applications (In Google Search if we typed "as" then strings starting with "as" will appear in drop down automatically). For this to achieve, refer here[^], see if this is useful any way. Good Luck.
Thanks, Anand.

Hi sir, Thanks for your reply. Actually i have combobox where i will read some data from DataBase. I have set the properties to SORT,DropDown. When i click the dropdown,its sorting and showing the values in the combobox(dropdown) correctly. But what i need if i type manually any data in Combo(editable) Example "a",i should get the the names starting from "a" and show the list in ComboNox(dropdown). I hope thant now i am clear. I am in doubt.whethier i have to change the properties of combobox or store all the values in array and sort it according. Plz do the needful Thanks Sharan

OK, I misunderstood your question. In this case you will need to filter the data in the combobox yourself, I don't know of any built in message that allows you to do this.
It's time for a new signature.

Alternatively to do it yourself you will need to implement a catch for the
CBN_DROPDOWNnotification. You then populate the list items based on the contents of the edit box. There are problems of course when the user then changes the content of the edit box by backspace and retyping.It's time for a new signature.

Hi sir, Thanks for all your help.I have found the solution. I am reading all the character from combo and storing it in map. then i am reading the character from combo and Find() in given whole map. I am tryig this code.
CString strValue;
CString strTemp;
m_CtrlComboID.GetWindowText(strValue);
std::map<CString,CString>::iterator it=m_mapId.begin();
m_CtrlComboID.ResetContent();
for(; it!=m_mapId.end(); it++)
{
strTemp = it->first;
strValue.MakeUpper();
if(strTemp.Find(strValue)==0)
m_PatientID.AddString(strTemp);
}
m_CtrlComboID.SetWindowText(strValue);
m_CtrlComboID.ShowDropDown();the problem i am facing is, 1)The first string is getting set in the ComboBox. 2)when i type the first character in combo,it is getting the strings related to the first character. but i am not able to type in the second character,as the cursor is going in the first position. The character which i have typed later is going first. For Ex: First i will type the character as "P", Second if i type "A" character in combo,its going before "P" i.e "AP",but i need as "PA". I am bit confused, any suggestions Thanks Raj
