extern CListBox* OnList tells the compiler "there's a variable called OnList with type CListBox* that is declared in some other source file". Have you declared OnList in some other file? If not, it should probably be a local variable and you need to initialize the pointer before using it. --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ ---- You cannot stop me with paramecium alone!

I rather not, (i'm making a game (closed source)) I just want a normal everyday listbox to scroll down everytime a message is put into it :( Any ideas?

I've already looked at that tutorial. The problem is I already have a list box set up, and if I try to change it to fixed or variable, my messages won't show up. Is there like a command like colorRGB[255,123,210] Uhh, thanks.

I did that and this is how it shows up, 100000, I added a command which increases the value by 1, ak,; cash++. I hit the button, and it shows up as it has been changed in the list box, but not the edit box. The List Box's purpose is to show changes, like if you buy a car, it will say you lost $10,000, and the edit box display's how much money you currently have, and updates accordingly... If I delete the preset in the DDX section it turns into -858993460, and so i deleted it being set in the begining of the file where it says unsigned long cash = 100000; to long cash. (I changed the unsigned part also) The two problems are that 1. The edit box doesn't update. 2. The edit box doesnt have a $ before the number, how do i do that? Thanks alot for your help. Here is how the source beginning is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include "stdafx.h" #include "Tycoon.h" #include "TycoonDlg.h" #include "BUY.h" #include "SELL.h" #ifdef _DEBUG #define new DEBUG_NEW #undef THIS_FILE static char THIS_FILE[] = __FILE__; #endif long cash; unsigned int day = 01; unsigned int month = 01; unsigned int year = 04; unsigned int chp; unsigned int mhp; ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CTycoonDlg dialog CTycoonDlg::CTycoonDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) : CDialog(CTycoonDlg::IDD, pParent) { //{{AFX_DATA_INIT(CTycoonDlg) cash = 100000; //}}AFX_DATA_INIT m_hIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDR_MAINFRAME); } void CTycoonDlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX) { CDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX); //{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CTycoonDlg) DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_CASH, cash); //}}AFX_DATA_MAP } -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nothing actually, crazy developers like myself often set crazy comment to try and be funny. ok, CString output is declared LOCAL in your case. Put it in your .h file or somewhere on top of your .cpp file. (but under the include part) "listbox" is an unknown Object (or variable) in your case. go to the resources, right click your list box and choose "add member variable". Name it and use this name instead of "listbox" output = "You have \"" + str + "\"dollars in your account." make it: output = "You have " + str + " dollars in your account."; then you don't have the " in your text. try this and you'll get less errors. btw: I explained it taken in account you have Visual Studio. If you don't, you have to create your listbox manually. =>( http://msdn.microsoft.com[^] search on CListBox) "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix
