    Anything you type into a text box is a string, whether letters, numbers or special characters. If you want to use numeric text as integer values then you need to convert them with one of the conversion methods. See Data Conversion | Microsoft Docs[^].

        Hello, I created an MFC dialog application which is connected to MySql database. I wanted to create a search button/Search query for database. Could you give me some pointers for creating functions for the same which accept string as well as Integers. Thanks. I've read about atoi(), but still having problem. And for displaying the search result, which one is better to use listbox or listcontrol.

          If you have more than one column data to display, I would use CListCtrl[^] or CMFCListCtrl[^] If you want to use an edit to use it for SQL statement, then give more details about what you intend to do there (e.g. sold > 1000 ?)

            SQl is not greater than 1000. I wanted to create a simple application first. Like for example.. I have a table with ID(primary Key), Name, DOB...etc columns. What I wanted to create is a search box in the dialog application. when I type the Name in the search box it will display the result in the listbox/list control box. Similarly when I enter the ID in the search box it will return the same.

              You can use CListCtrl or derivated to display db data. In search box you can test the user input with is_digit[^] and act accordingly (if is number then use ID to get data, or if is not number, use string to get the name and so on.

                Thank you for always helping. I really appreciate the help :) I have created a search function and now it's displaying in the CListCtrl and working the way I wanted. :) I'll try to extend the functionality like if I select the result in the CListCtrl it will take me to another dialog that contains the details of the selected. :) If I have any doubt i'll post it here. Thanks again :)

                      Then you take all your list control data with CListCtrl::GetItemText[^] and you simply put them into next dialog, just like that:

                      CNextDlg dlg;
                      dlg.m_sName = m_ListCtrl.GetItemText(...);
                      dlg.m_sAge = m_ListCtrl.GetItemText(...);
                      dlg.m_sDOB = m_ListCtrl.GetItemText(...);
                      dlg.DoModal();

                        Thank you.

                        void CMyDlg::ResetListControl() {
                        m_ListControl.DeleteAllItems();
                        int iNbrOfColumns;
                        CHeaderCtrl* pHeader = (CHeaderCtrl*)m_ListControl.GetDlgItem(0);
                        if (pHeader) {
                        iNbrOfColumns = pHeader->GetItemCount();
                        }
                        for (int i = iNbrOfColumns; i >= 0; i--) {
                        m_ListControl.DeleteColumn(i);
                        }
                        }

                        I particularly don't understand this line :

                        CHeaderCtrl* pHeader = (CHeaderCtrl*)m_ListControl.GetDlgItem(0);

                        Could you please explain this line of code. Thanks :)

                          I think that line should be:

                          CHeaderCtrl* pHeader = m_ListControl.GetHeaderCtrl();

                          See here[^]. However, that line retrieve first control item from m_ListCtrl object ... does working that line ? I didn't met such approach ...
