Combobox

[Chandrasekharan P]

I have a combo box and some edit controls in my application. In the combo box there are 8 items. Some values are entered and Selection is made from the combo box and a button is clicked. There will be eight iterations since there are 8 items in the combo box. Everytime the edit control values will change. in the second iteration, if the user forgets to change the combo box value, the system should pop out a message saying that for first event the value is already evaluated...

And what is your question exactly ? :doh:

Oh Sorry Cedric... How do i check if the earlier item in the combo box is already used.

Could you not remove 'used' items from the combobox? That would eliminate an erroneous input from the user if I understand you correctly.

If you insist on having the items in the combo box even after they were used you could try using their itemdata to indicate if they have been used or not. -By default itemdatas are zero -When your user hits the button, check the itemdata (CComboBox::GetItemData[^]) of the currently selected item, if any, if it is not zero, warn the user and don't continue, if it is zero, then use the item -when using the item, set its itemdata (CComboBoxSetItemData[^] to 1 for example
