Then it would be better to post in the Managed C++/CLI Forum.

Leon, Thank you for all your help with getting this working. Jim

Combine your data into one DataSource and bind it to the control would probably be the simplest way. only two letters away from being an asset

You need to use the version that is matching what your application is looking for. Currently, your application is using version 2.0.131.0 and you are referencing version 2.0.1623.14765!

Put all your common files in one directory, and set your projects to look in that directory. Configuration Properties >> C/C++ >> Additional Include Directories. Or you could set it in VC++ Directories.

To do this you either have to right click on the project in the Solution Explorer window and select Project Only/Build Only... from the menu Or you can select the project you want to build as the startup project, and under the build menu select the second set of build commands, the ones that have the project name in the menu item. Selecting Build Solution (Ctrl+B) will build the entire solution which is all the project. Also check the dependency of the projects to make sure they are correct. (Menu Project/Project Dependencies.

Would it make a difference that I have both C & CPP files in this project?

Depending on the machine architecture, and that the sizes of similar data types are the same byte length, I have seen issues where machines are not "byte" swapped but are "word" swapped. In those cases, it was every set of two-bytes that needed to be swapped with the next set of two-bytes. This is different than big/little-endian swapping. If you are writing floating point values into the file, check that the NT format and the UNIX format are the same. NT probably uses the IEEE floating point format and some non-PC UNIX machines (and some hardware items) use a DEC format. This means that the meaning of the bits within a 4-byte floating point word are different ... different size mantissa, exponent, placement of sign bit, etc. I have had to re-align floating point bits between machines.

In the global.h you have extern D2N_GLBL_STRUCT *D2N_GLBL; Did you put D2N_GLBL_STRUCT *D2N_GLBL; in one of the .cpp file?? if you dont do it, it will give you linker error. P.R.A.K.A.S.H

Your "processing" loop is not yielding enough CPU time such that the WM_PAINT messages can be processed. In other words, you've got something like: while (some_condition) { do some processing update listbox } // not until this point do the items appear in the listbox This is a prime candidate for a UI thread (i.e., thread with message pump). In your app's primary thread will be the listbox. When processing starts, create another thread to handle the processing. That thread will post (not send) messages back to the primary thread with items to be added to the listbox.

Just guessing, but is file1.cpp part of the project and if not, does it compile with no errors in whatever project it is in? If it is in a separate project, do you link with the .lib or .o file produced in that project? Chris Meech It's much easier to get rich telling people what they want to hear.

Make them static to force internal linkage. eg: -- func.cpp -- static int x; // internal linkage, global to func.cpp only -- func1.cpp -- static int x; // internal linkage, global to func1.cpp only “Our solar system is Jupiter and a bunch of junk” - Charley Lineweaver 2002

Ok. We can try to make an educated guess :) My opinion is that the header is used both for declaring things and for defining them. The second use is activated by ELABORATE_ALL_VARIABLES. Let's say the header is called a.h: then I guess you have to #include it like always everywhere except in the one file a.cpp, where you should have to write: // a.cpp #define ELABORATE_ALL_VARIABLES #include "a.h" ... // rest of stuff or, alternatively, define this macro for a.cpp in the properties section of the file (Fileview pane->right click on a.cpp->Settings->Preprocessor definitions). Good luck. Let me know if I can give you more assistance. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Anybody have any ideas to help me resolve this problem? Thanks for any help

Thanks Larry, worked like a charm

This is pretty basic stuff... You should find all this information in the MSDN libraries, or any half-decent MFC/Win32 book. Anyway, as I'm in a nice mood... ;) Lookup: CComboBox::GetCurSel (). DDX_CBIndex (...). Just about any example in the Combo Box section here on CodeProject. Iain.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the CButtonST class that has the relay message in it. I've posted this to the Articles section...
