About the size of CString

[Drawil]

Hello every body i try to put mor than 256 char in the CString viriable but i cannot, any help. Best Regards :)

[David Crow]

Can you provide a code snippet of how you are doing this?

[Martyn Pearson]

The MFC CString will accommodate strings far longer than 256 characters. It is more likely that there is something wrong with the code that is populating the CString. Post the code if you still have problems! :)

CString query; query=_T("select distinct globalt.Mkname,globalt.Route,globalt.Time,globalt.SI,globalt.NDV,globalt.ANBLO,Avg(globalt.Traff) AS AvgTraffic,Avg( globalt.CCONG) AS AvgCCONG \n" "from globalt \n" "where ((([globalt].[Route]) Like '*SS*' Or ([globalt].[Route]) Like '*I')=False"); Best Regards :)

There's only 254 characters there. What's the problem?

[Alexandru Savescu]

Use the Format method:

CString s;
s.Format ("A very long string");

the code u posted works just fine...:cool:

[Drawil]

Thank u for ur reply I know every thing appeares normal in my code, but after this step if watch this variable 'query' it equals: "select distinct globalt.Mkname,globalt.Route,globalt.Time,globalt.SI,globalt.NDV,globalt.ANBLO,Avg(globalt.Traff) AS AvgTraffic,Avg( globalt.CCONG) AS AvgCCONG from globalt where ((([globalt].[Route]) Like '*SS*' Or ([globalt].[Route]) Like '*I')=Fal" as u see some char doesnot included "se", even if i add more strings to this variable like query+="any thing" then it doesnt appeare. so this is my problem!!!! Best Regards :)

hi again yes that is right :) there is no problem with CString. the problem was in the Watch window which could not show all char in CString. Best Regards :)
