Check out the VCTERM sample in MSDN. I am currently writing a terminal app, and I have chosen the edit box since it seems to be the easiest control to play with. You will need to derive your own edit box class to be able to do what you want, but that is shown in the sample. Cheers, /Fredrik Sonork ID: 100.11430:PhatBoy

Because a CString is not a LPCTSTR. It may work now, but it's still wrong to leave out the cast. I'll keep doing it. ;P --Mike-- http://home.inreach.com/mdunn/ #include "witty_sig.h" :love: your :bob: with :vegemite: and :beer:

Are you sure that your database could be opened? You are not checking the return value. The rest of the code is fine, but there is no need for a CRecordset. What does the error string say? A vast majority of our imports comes from outside the country. George W. Bush

Look up CString class members. There is one just for this purpose. P.S. Learn to use MSDN. Its ALL in there. Hope this helps, Bill

To get a substring out of a CString you can use left, mid, or right. For example, in the above example you could use CString s = "This is a test string"; CString y = s.Mid(10, 4); As usual, you can use SetBuffer and ReleaseBuffer in order to get the underlying data if you need to.

if(_istupper(yousaid.GetAt(current_pos))is the correct, characterset and locale independent way to do it in VC++.

This compiles ? Surely you need List::iterator ? Forget I said that, I'm sure you typed List<string>::iterator and lost the template argument as a bad tag as I did..... Also, why convert string to CString ? Why not start with whichever string class you want and stay there ? Either way, I don't know for sure if CString has an equivelant, or even if STL does ( shame on me ), but strtok will do what you want with a basic char*.
