CString, class problem
-
hello, I have a database program and i'm trying to get a CString variable from one class to work in another but i am getting strange results. It's dialog based and i made a new dialog class. I included the header files and it copiles with no errors but it spawns the main dialog when i try to use the string. (the string name is Value1 and its from the CChange class.)
CChange change; m_edit1.SetWindowText(change.Value1);for some reason this launches the main dialog and does not work as a string. Any help would be much appreciated.

Actually what you want, You need a CString Value from child dialog to fill an edit control in parent dialog? Assume CChildDlg is your child and CParentDlg is your parent dialog clasess Let m_EditValue is the name of the Edit control variable in your parent Dlg, m_csChildStringVariable is the CString variable in your child dialog declared as public then in parent dialog: void CParentDlg ::OnOk() { CChildDlg oChild; oChild.DoModal(); /*from that dialog you get some value for csChildStringVariable */ // set parent edit control CString csTemp = oChild.m_csChildStringVariable; m_EditValue.SetWindowText(csTemp ); } try that.. I want to change Myself..Can u help me? :)

Well, actually im trying to get a string from the parent dialog to fill a child dialog edit box. I took your suggestion, but for some reason when i hit the button, it opens the main dialog. In the parent dialog i have:
Value1="test"; CChange change; change.DoModal();then in the child i did:
CMainDlg maindlg; m_edit1.SetWindowText(maindlg.Value1); m_edit1.UpdateWindow();when i hit the button, it launches the main dialog window as if it were opening the program again ! ? The reason i want this function is so that i can double click an entry in the listctrl and have it open with the strings in edit boxes, so that you can edit them and make changes.
