    Spot the mistake...

    cb->SetWindowText ("pSettings->sColName");

    Even VS's editor's colourising didn't help. I did spot it in testing though, so some dignity was salvaged. Iain.

    Well, the quotes make it hard to get to the indicated pointer, but other than that, it looks fine (assuming you're using MFC).

      That's some funny stuff to deal with on a Monday morning! So, you now have a button (or whatever cb is), that's labelled pSettings->sColName. :laugh:

        Nothing's wrong with it. It compiles and executes without error. If it fails to do wanted you wanted then that's not the computer's problem. Perhaps you should lower your expectations and try again.

          No error, "pSettings->sColName" is a quite descriptive text... :)

            It is perfectly legit code, so the compiler was of no help at all... It did look odd in the running dialog though! Iain.

                  Ah, a common error.  Let me fix it for you:

                  cb.Text = "pSettings->sColName";

                  ;P /ravi

                    The user should spot it quite quickly, in my opinion. The window/button/caption labeled "pSettings->sColName" is not intuitive in the UI...

                            It should have been:

                            #include "tchar.h"
                            ...
                            cb->SetWindowText(_T("pSettings->sColName"));

                            so that you could easily compile for either MBCS or UNICODE :rolleyes:.
