"Fetching" a date field is done exactly as you would for any other type of field (i.e., number, text). If the date is stored as yyyy-mm-dd, then I suspect you do not have a date field but rather a text field that just happens to hold the date. Can you confirm?

In this article, I retrieve several date fields from an Access database. It may give you some clues.

No. What exactly do you mean by this?

means when we select the listbox item then we should get the dialog exactly below that and below listbox items should be below that dialog

Can you explain the difference between Thread,Process,
Event,Mutex and Semaphore.
I only know it is much related to Multithreading.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone explains in detail.

Thank you.

question regarging callback functions

why should a call back function be static when its called from an another class?

say we have a class A and class B
assume that class A calls a function in B say "b" and passes the address of an another function in A say "a".
then to get get this working why is it a must that the function "a" be static.....we are passing the address of the member function as whole rt?.....

It is not only when it has to be called from another class: it is whenever your callback function is a member function of a class.

The difference between static member functions and non-static member functions is that for the non-static one, there is an implicit parameter that is passed to the function: the address of the instance of your class (the this pointer). As static member functions are shared across all instances of your class (and thus don't belong to a particular instance, thus cannot access non-static data from one instance), there is no implicit 'this' parameter that is passed.
This of course change the prototype of the callback function (because of the implicit parameter), that's why static and non-static member functions behave differently.

how to set the col width and row height according client rect and make the cells full fill with the client area.

I calc the value as follow way, but it still can't meet the rect....

BOOL CPgDialog::OnInitDialog()
{
CRect clrect;
long row=0,col=0;
m_grid.SetRows(20); // total rows 20
m_grid.SetCols(20); // total cols 20

m_grid.GetClientRect(&clrect);

long lwidth =clrect.Width()/m_grid.GetRows()*14.4; // inch?
long lheight = clrect.Height()/m_grid.GetCols()*14.4;
for (col=0;col< m_grid.GetCols();col++)
{
m_grid.SetColWidth(col,lwidth);
}
for (row=0;row

Are your sure that SetColWidth and SetRowHeight functions requires size in other units than pixels? Try without your "14.4" multiplier.

How to make DoModal() in CFrameWnd

Hi, All
i have one project, use CFrameWnd.
example:
CMainFrm : public CFrameWnd
CChildFrm : public CFrameWnd
in CMainFrm : load CChildFrm and CChildFrm must be DoModal()
How to make CChildFrm to DoModal()
I use VC 7.0

DoModal is from CDialog, it has nothing to do with CFrameWnd. Why do you want to call DoModal ?
Take a look at BeginModalState[^] (hum, not a lot of info, I agree Laugh | :laugh:

). I think this will do what you are looking for (but I never tested it myself).

You didn't answer my question in your previous thread: how did you do to make it compile under VC6 ?

It is not because your customer wants to have a modal frame window that you are 'allowed' to call DoModal which is not part of the CFrameWnd class Unsure | :~

. I'm wondering how you did that. Did you simply make a cast from a CFrameWnd into a CDialog ? Dead | X|

A possible scenario:

Display your popup as a modeless dialog, keeping a variable for this dialog.
When you detect a new selection in your list-box, close the dialog, and then recreate it and move to desired position. Or just move it, if already created.
If you want the popup to disappear automatically when it looses focus, then handle a corresponding message, probably WM_ACTIVATE or WM_KILLFOCUS.
