the Clear() function

[Eversman]

Hey, I have a couple of combo boxes, and When they hit new in the menu, I want it to clear, but when I use the m_varible.clear() command, it only clears the one I have highlighted or the last one I selected. How do I get it to clear all of them? Here is the code: void CDEPDlg::OnFileNew() { // TODO: Add your command handler code here m_type1.Clear(); m_type2.Clear(); m_type3.Clear(); m_type4.Clear(); m_type5.Clear(); } Thanks for any help

Try this

// The pointer to my combo box.
extern CComboBox* pmyComboBox;

// Delete every other item from the combo box.
for (int i=0;i < pmyComboBox->GetCount();i++)
{
pmyComboBox->DeleteString( i );
}

Thanks guys that worked. How about an editbox, that is ready only, and it displays the text of a combo box, I tried the clear() function there too, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi, //MFC MyEdit.SetSet(0, -1); MyEdit.Clear(); //API SendMessage(MyEditHwnd, EM_SETSEL, 0, -1); SendMessage(MyEditHwnd, WM_CLEAR, 0, 0); HTH Frank
