    This should be pretty easy, right? I'm feeling pretty brain dead right now, though... In CTreeCtrl the nodes have a DWORD data item and I want to make use of that as a 24 bit value and an 8 bit value. What would be a nice way of getting and setting the DWORD from two other variables? Thanks, Ben.

                  I know it's early but you should probably don a fireproof jacket - just in case...!! (Or maybe just post in the C++ forum)

                    The problem you've got here is that you were trying to split the DWORD using a mouldy old leaf. You really need something like a bandsaw to split that DWORD neatly.

                    I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

                      As with questons on CP, you have to know where to put which bits.

                        I have a routine in my lib that uses an axe. Can have some accuracy problems, but it splits anything it is given as parameters.
