This is one exmaple why the CDATA element type is used... We use CDATA sections in our XML files so our product's scripting language can be embedded within the XML without freaking the XML parsers. For example, we might have a script line like this: iTag001 <> 10; If you don't put that in CDATA and and XML parseer tries to interpret it, you will have trouble. So, now we have a node like this: <![CDATA[ IF iTag001 <> 10 THEN iTag001 = 10; ENDIF; ]]> Instead of like this: We use the straight XML COM calls and interface pointers to process the XML, so I can't help you directly with the XmlCDataSection.

TinyXML[^] is meant to be good (but IIRC the Unicode support is poor).

Hello For Text File you can use CEdit Control with Multiline option set. Or if your file size is large and you want some extra thigs to display like changing the colour of text ... you car use RichEditControl. Regards Anil

I think by default, there willl be a "About" dialog box when u choose the mfc sdi application, right? Just add a dialog from the resource and see how it map the message then that's it!

I have to create a console text menu that is written from values from an INI file. The menu entry would be something like: 1) Pencil 2) Pen 3) Typwriter Select choice --> The INI file has [Writing Tools] 1 = Pencil 2 = Pen 3 = Typewriter Can you modify the example to create a buffer (or array of struct) that uses this? I don't need values written to an output file. Thanks Jer 29:11

You probably edited something wrapped into AFX.... 'tags'. Post the code where this error occurs (the complete file if this is small file)

" Ok, but in which file is the problem occuring ? Try to use the debugger correctly, that is setting breakpoints (F9) at precise points of your program. You said that this error hapenned when you press a button then you can put a breakpoint in the function and go step by step in the program to see where it crashes. You could also post HERE the code of the function (only the code of the funcion and using the code tags). And please, don't send private mails with source files as I don't have Visual studio installed on my computer. So I cannot test your program. You'll have to be more precise in your question (I cannot go into all of your files and read everything).

as Sunit5 has mentioned MarkUp class is good alternative for writing and reading XML file but.. By My Personel Preferenc would you learn XMLDOM object ( if time permits you) other wise MARKUP class is good alternative "Opinions are neither right nor wrong. I cannot change your opinion.

HI!! Could u please suggest me some good books on MFC. I am learning MFC. I had never worked on it earlier. But, now I am working on a project. Currently, I am trying to develop an application for converting "ini" files to "xml" files through MFC. Thanx a lot.

What have you got coded up so far that you need help with? This makes at least the fourth time you've asked this same question but it does not appear you are making any progress whatsoever. We're here to help but you have to make a concerted effort. "One must learn from the bite of the fire to leave it alone." - Native American Proverb

The extern keyword simply states that the variable or function is declared in a seperate translational unit. That is it is declared and defined in a seperate file from the one that depends on it. Declaring a function prototype as external, only serves to inform the coder that it is declared and defined in another file. Defining a variable as external, informs the complire that it is declared and defined golobaly in another file. The difference between a function protype and a global variable, is that a global variable must be declared external and a prototype is external by default. I've workd with C code that required alot on global variables (dealing with hardware specific addresses). In that case a file was set off to the side to define all the hardware specific data (global variables), which needed to be declared as extern. INTP Every thing is relative...

You have probably two classes derived from CDialog for your dialogs. Let them be (it's just an example) CYourDlg1 and CYourDlg2. I guess you are using them like that (supossing they are modal): CYourDlg1 dlg1; . . dlg1.DoModal() and CYourDlg2 dlg2; . . dlg2.DoModal() respectively. Now, let's say you want to pass some CString data (containing a fully qualified name of some file), which you get from dlg1, to dlg2. You must add some data member to each of those two classes: CString m_strFile. In the OnOK() function of CYourDlg1 you add the line: m_strFile = ... with the dots replaced by something you are using there (:-)). Before calling dlg2.DoModal(), you initialize the data of dlg2 with data from dlg1: dlg2.m_strFile = dlg1.m_strFile SkyWalker -- modified at 3:13 Sunday 9th October, 2005

hi! I read ur reply. following points will clear ur doubts about my application: Both the dialog boxes are modal. Then you asked me: What is the "source file" and "file extension" of which you refer? The extension of source file is .yak. It is an "ini file". Then the name which has to be displayed in the second edit box will be the same but the extension is changed to ".config". Then u said: "Explain a bit better as to how these two dialog boxes work in the overall scheme. Do they send information back and forth to each other?" These dialog boxes don`t send inforation back and forth to each other. But, on clicking OK button in the first dialog box, the second one gets opened, and by default shows the same file name(as was entered in the first one) in the edit box , with the extension changed. Thanx a lot
