Edit boxes

Hello, I'm currently writing a win32 application and I was wondering how I could make an address bar, like Internet Explorer, for the top of my program? Thanks, Caleb

You can use a ComboBox for the adressbar and insert the adress with m_myCbo.Addstring(). If you want to show the adresses which are inserted before and you run the programm again write it into the registry or in an *.ini-file with WriteProfileString and GetProfileString(). Example: CString strSection = "My Section"; CString strStringItem = "My String Item"; CString strIntItem = "My Int Item"; CWinApp* pApp = AfxGetApp(); pApp->WriteProfileString(strSection, strStringItem, "test"); CString strValue; strValue = pApp->GetProfileString(strSection, strStringItem); ASSERT(strValue == "test"); pApp->WriteProfileInt(strSection, strIntItem, 1234); int nValue; nValue = pApp->GetProfileInt(strSection, strIntItem, 0); ASSERT(nValue == 1234); The ini-file got the name of your programm and you can find it under C:\Windows\ or C:\Winnt\.

1. Create the address bar like dialog window in Resource editor. Set the style CHILD and border NONE. 2. In CMainFrame class declaration add:

CDialogBar m_wndAddressBar;
CReBar m_wndReBar;

3. In CMainFrame::OnCreate() add:

m_wndAddressBar.Create(this, IDD_ADDRESSBAR, CBRS_ALIGN_TOP, AFX_IDW_DIALOGBAR);
m_wndReBar.Create(this);
m_wndReBar.AddBar(&m_wndAddressBar);

The IDD_ADDRESSBAR is the resource ID of your address bar in Resource editor. Robert-Antonio
