Thanks but that isn't going to be much good to me because later in Dialog1 I need to .AddString() to the ComboBox. I guess what I'll have to do is write the items that need to be put into the ComboBox to a file in Dialog1 and then read them from the file when Dialog2 is opened and put them into the ComboBox.:~ Thanks for your help anyway. Aoife

Hi, I have two Dialog boxes, Dialog1 and Dialog2. I need to populate a Combo Box in Dialog2 from Dialog1. When I use the following lines in Dialog1 it compiles without error. CDialog2 ob; ob.m_cComboBox.ResetContent(); However when I run it (and when it reaches the 2nd line above)I get a Debug Assertion Failure in File: afxwin2.inl at line 741 which is this line. { ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); ::SendMessage(m_hWnd, CB_RESETCONTENT, 0, 0); } The Combo Box properties are, Type: Dropdown, Owner draw: Variable Thanks in advance for any help, Aoife

Thanks. That has worked in that now I get no errors when I compile. But when It runs I get a debug assertion failure in File afxwin2.inl at this line (741) { ASSERT(::IsWindow(m_hWnd)); ::SendMessage(m_hWnd, CB_RESETCONTENT, 0, 0); } Does this have something to do with the properties of the ComboBox? Thanks for you help. Aoife

In Dialog2 the ComboBox public control variable is m_cCombo. In Dialog1 when I call m_cCombo.ResetContent(); I get told error C2065: 'm_cCombo' : undeclared identifier error C2228: left of '.ResetContent' must have class/struct/union type In Dialog1.cpp I have included Dialog2.cpp

Hello, Sorry for posting this a second time. I'm using MFC dialog based app. In it I have two dialog boxes Dialog1 and Dialog2. There is a Combo Box in Dialog2 that I want to populate with integer values obtained from Dialog1. I know that I must use ResetContent() and InsertString(). But what I don't know is how to use them from Dialog1. The ComboBox has a control variable in Dialog2 but when I call this in Dialog1 I get errors. (I have included the header files). The following explains what I want to do. Dialog1.cpp #include "Dialog2.h" clear all contents from the Combo Box in Dialog2 while (number < 10) { ... if(some condition) { write whatever the 'number' value is to the combo box in Dialog2 } ... number++; } Does anyone know how I can do this or know of any document explaining this. Thanks in advance, Aoife

Here is another one: Postulate 1: Time is Money (Time = Money) Postulate 2: Money is the root of all evil (Money = SqRoot(Evil)) Postulate 3: Women require time and money (Women = Time * Money) Therefore: Women = Money * Money as Time = Money As Money = SqRoot(Evil) then Money * Money = Evil Therefore it can be concluded that... Women = Evil :laugh: Aoife

Worked perfectly! I feel a bit thick that I didn't know that, but I'm so happy that I have finally got my application working that I don't care! Thanks a million Chris. Aoife

I'm a newbie, so could you please explain how I can fix this? Thanks, Aoife

It says that the "Debug Assertion Failed" in file winctrl.cpp at line 547. void CListCtrl::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT) { ASSERT(FALSE); } This is a MFC\src file. It gives no other reason as to why its happening. Thanks

But the first dialog box isn't mentioned in OnInitDialog and it works fine. Could it be because there is two of them? Thanks,

Hello, In my MFC application I have two similar dialog boxes. Each have a List Control Box and each has a varaible (of type CListCtrl) associated to them. One of them works fine but I get a Debug Assertion error on the first of these four lines in the second dialog. m_MyListControl2.InsertItem(0, Line1, 0) m_MyListControl2.SetItemText(0, 1, Line2); m_MyListControl2.SetItemText(0, 2, Line3); m_MyListControl2.SetItemText(0, 3, Line5); The dialog boxes all have the same header files and the contents of DoDataExchange() are similar too. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks, Aoife

It was already there, but when I deleated #include "Dialog2.h" and added the variable again that worked. Thanks, Aoife

Hi, I'm (attempting) to make a MFC Dialog based application. In my application I have a dialog box that calls another dialog box. Each have there own class "CDialog1" and "CDialog2". When Dialog1.cpp wants to call CDialog2 I created a private variable of CDialog2 called m_dDialog2 (in CDialog1) and in Dialog1.cpp it calls it using m_dDialog2.DoModal(). This was all working fine but now when I compile I get the following errors: c:\proj\interf\dialog1.h(18) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'm_dDialog2' c:\proj\interf\dialog1.h(18) : error C2501: 'CDialog2' : missing storage-class or type specifiers c:\proj\interf\dialog1.h(18) : error C2501: 'm_dDialog2' : missing storage-class or type specifiers I didn't make any changes myself to any of the code in dialog1.h But the strange this is that sometimes (not all the time) when I delete the variable and add it again using "Add Member Variable" it compiles and runs fine. Then after running it I compile it again (without making changes) and the three errors return. I'm getting really frustrated so any comments would be really welcome. Thanks, Aoife

Hello, I need a bit of help writing a batch file. In the line below where I have %1 instead of reading only one word I need to to read an entire string. So to do this I persume that I'll have to read the string from a file. So my question is how do I tell it to read from the file. Lets say the line I need to read is in c:\line.txt echo %1 | C:\myexecutable --sendsms %2 Thanks. Aoife

This worked perfectly, Thanks!

Hello, I need to read the following two lines from a .txt file. Name John Doe Number +12345 Then I must extract "John Doe" and "+12345" and send them to an edit box. I tried using strtok() but it didn't work the way I want it to. Is there a way of starting at a particular point in the string? eg in "Name John Doe" at position 6. Thanks, Aoife /********************************************/ FILE *stream; stream = fopen( "number", "r" ); char bufLine1[30], bufLine2[30]; fgets(bufLine1, 30, stream); fgets(bufLine2, 30, stream); char *pNext1 = ?????(bufLine1, ??); char *pNext2 = ?????(bufLine2, ??); strcpy(bufLine1, pNext1); strcpy(bufLine2, pNext2); SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_BOX1, EM_REPLACESEL, FALSE, (LPARAM)bufLine1); SendDlgItemMessage(IDC_BOX2, EM_REPLACESEL, FALSE, (LPARAM)bufLine2); fclose( stream );

Hello, I need to use a dll file (that I downloaded from the net) in my MFC VC++ application, but I am new to dll's and VC++ and don't know where to start. I was hoping that someone knew of a document that I could read that would show me how to do this. Thanks, Aoife

Go to this site and download the pipe demo. I got this yesterday and it is great!:) It will get the output of any console command. http://sloat.bradsoft.net/c.php Aoife

Does anyone know where I could find a good VC++ MFC Example Dialog application that uses pipes? Thanks
