Combo Boxes and Vars

[Eversman]

Hey, Got a question for you guys. I have 7 combo boxes. All with time duration options in them, like 10 mins, 20 mins etc etc. Then I have an edit box that is to display the total of the values selected from the 7 combo boxes. Here is the code I have so far. void CDEPDlg::OnCloseupCombo15() { // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here int totalswim=0; int cur1 = m_dur1.GetCurSel (); CString text1; m_dur1.GetLBText (cur1, text1); if (text1 == "10 Minutes") { totalswim=+10; m_swimtime=totalswim; } } m_dur1 is the 1st combo box, m_dir2 is the second etc etc. m_swimtime is an int var of the edit box. Thanks for any help

Don't combo boxes allow each value to have a hidden value associated with it ? Or have I just been web programming for too long ? Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

And what's the question? If you've got a specific question, I'm sure people will be glad to help, but if you're wanting someone to write your code for you, you're probably not going to get what you want. (Or was there a question and I just missed it?)

heh no, i was wondering how do you get the value in the combo box to be displayed in the edi box? I know how to get strings in there, but doing it the same way using ints, it doesn't work

Ah. I see. All you need is to convert your calculated integer into a string. One way you can do that is with the CString Format() method: CString str; int someInt = 1000; str.Format(TEXT("%i"),someInt); // send your formatted string to the edit control
