ListControl Problem

Hi to All,
I am facing one problem for ListControl.

I have developed one dialog based project VC++ 6.0,on that dialog I have
taken one ListControl.Problem is that list control is not refreshed when
I minimize and restored a window.Means it is not repainted.Note that this
is only happened When focus is on the ListControl.

When I am used InvalidateRect() API over that listControl it is not
repainted scrollbar of ListControl.Scroll Bar of listControl is not diaplayed

I am waiting for ur reply,

Rahul

Why are you using InvalidateRect() with a list control?

I have created an MFC project which contains a DialogBar
where i have ket a DateTimeCtrl
i actully wanted to get the window text of control
so i created a pointer to that control .

CDateTimeCtrl * pwnd =(CDateTimeCtrl *) m_dlgbar.GetDlgItem(IDC_DATE_PICKER);

now i tired to get the window text by this but

CString st;
pwnd->GetWindowText (st);

I dont understand why this dont work ..........

Hi,

The control probaly does not implement it. GetWindowText(...) returns the caption title if it has one. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_mfc_cwnd.3a3a.getwindowtext.asp[^]

Control Documentation:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_mfc_CDateTimeCtrl.asp[^]

Yeh i want to get the time that is on the control
i actully got i by the GetTime() function but it
it should also get the text by the method
GetWindowText();

Nothing is returned in st (CString variable )
in the debug window it viewed as {""}
Also i used to promt by a MessageBox the messagebox
didnot display anything

thank you

if you want it in CString, why not u try converting it(your 'ct') like this...
(this is for converting System time to Cstring.)

CString FormatTime(CTime time)
{
// get time in system time format
SYSTEMTIME st;
time.GetAsSystemTime(st);

// get necessary buffer size
int nSize = GetTimeFormat(
LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT,
LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE,
&st,
NULL,
NULL,
0);

// format the time
CString strTime;
GetTimeFormat(
LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT,
LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE,
&st,
NULL,
strTime.GetBuffer(nSize),
nSize);

strTime.ReleaseBuffer();

return strTime;
}

or u can take ct.min, hr, sec and convert them into CString using Format. but there may be a better way. (note the previous thread is based on WinCE,make sure its compatible for u )

What do you mean by connect ??? 3D SMax is a tool for creating graphics (as far as I know), what do you want to by 'connecting' it with VC++ ?

Maybe do you want to use the graphics you made inside a C++ program ? But then you'll have to explain a little bit more if you want help: what is the format generated, what you want to do, ...

you search for any activex control that provides you access to your max objects. just like macromedia has its own activex component for its .swf files. or you should try directX in VC (u can even use VB) thatz the appropriate way to design 3D games
