By definition an enumeration is not subject to change. Here's a definition right off of MSDN. "Constants provide a convenient way to set and refer to values that are not expected to change." Your enum should define all actions that the base and all sub classes can perform. Your sub class doesn't have to handle all the actions, but it does need to use the same enumeration.

We had this need for a project recently and ended up letting users have regular Excel spreadsheets for data entry (we had a form set up and the sheets protected). Then we provided an upload form with server-side code which captured the data from the sheets (done through ADO.NET treating Excel as a data source). To be sure, there's plenty that can go wrong with this setup, but if you structure the spreadsheets well, it can work. We conducted a survey of over 700 people (with a variety of Excel versions and PC and Mac platforms) using this technique and it worked well for us.

To my knowledge, there is no way to make the wizards in VC++.NET 2003 use the #ifndef, #define, #endif inclusion guards instead of #pragma once which is pain. I have had issues with this myself when porting code to Linux. If someone out there knows of a way to do it, I wouldn't mind knowing how to do that myself. :) Happy Programming!

Wouldn't it just be easier to create a .LIB containing the functions and link to it, rather than messing with the source code every time you use it? No hassle, just #include the .h file and set your linker libs line to include the .lib file. Also, one point of maintenance across all projects that use it.

That's usually caused by the build settings for the LIB using one form of CRT linking (static or DLL) and the executable using the other. --Mike-- The Internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens.   -- Strong Bad 1ClickPicGrabber - Grab & organize pictures from your favorite web pages, with 1 click!

Gary R. Wheeler wrote: In this case, inside the StuffFunction you can't tell that NULL has been passed in. Well, you could always do if(&stuff_item == NULL), assuming Stuff doesn't override operator&. Gary R. Wheeler wrote: Pointers are easier to get sloppy with if you're not careful. The only extra support a reference gives you is that you have to initialize it. Which is certainly nice since the compiler can yell Error! I think I'll experiment some tomorrow to see if I can eliminate the use of pointers (to see if it's possible). I have some ideas I want to try out... :) -- There's a new game we like to play you see.

FWIW, I would have derived the control from CWnd, not CStatic. CStatic has too many restrictions such as the ones you described.

I've had issues like that when i went through and manually edited the resource.h file.... to fix it, i just cleaned the project and did a rebuild all. i think devstudio just needs a kick to make it use the new constants. hopefully this fix'll work for you!:-D

As for the first question, the strings must end with "||". As for the second question, could you please repost checking the option "Display this message as-is (no HTML)" right below the edit area? That will bring the missing portions of the code into the light. Thank you. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Funny -- this has been a bug for a very long time now, and now that I'm trying to reproduce it so I can see what's on the stack, everything works perfectly. You gotta love it...
