Hallo Ladies and Gentlemen,

i have a big Problem whith an EditBox which i have put in a ToolBar of a small SDI Project.
First I will describe what i have done and what is working :
1. I created a new ToolBar with an EditBox and i coud show this control in the project's ToolBar -works-
2. I created a new Button in the -works-

What I want is to fill the EditBox whith values calculated in the Doc.h by clicking the fill button (Btn with the green point).
Every click on the Fill button another value in the EditBix !
The On Fill function is in the Doc.cpp !
But this isn't working !

Pleeese help me, this prob. is really drivin' me crazy ;(

Many, Many Thanx for your help.
Best regards
Wink | ;)

At least you could erase all assistant lines and leave just the relevant ones. And even more if they are in another language (I understand them I use german VC too, but many people won't).

Yes, many people could help you. All that Nelek's asking is that you clean up your post (not by creating a separate post) by removing all but the relevant lines of code. Folks here help for the fun of it so asking them to read through pages of unnecessary code is a sure way to get ignored.

Every click on the Fill button another value in the EditBix !
The On Fill function is in the Doc.cpp !
But this isn't working !

But what is not working? Have you used the debugger to step through the code? What happens in SetMyToolBarEditText()?

Re: filling an EditBox (which is embedded) in a toolbar by clicking a ToolBarButton !

14-Dec-07 4:45

Hi,

first i get a not declared identifier at ((CMainFrame*)GetParent())->SetMyToolBarEditText("blabla");

then i included the MainFrm.h in doc.cpp now i get :
: error C2660: 'GetParent' : Funktion akzeptiert keine 0 Parameter
: error C2227: Der linke Teil von '->SetMyToolBarEditText' muss auf Klasse/Struktur/Union zeigen

GetParent needs a hwnd but how can i get one ?

Best regards
Croc

P.S.: Are there tuts our there which explain the Prob whith an edit in a toolBat ? I can only find 1 or 2 tuts which discribe the usage of comboboxes. Or are ther perhaps sources / code snippets ???

Well, is SetMyToolBarEditText() a member of CMainFrame?

CrocodileBuck wrote:

That depends on which version you are using. To access the frame from within your CDocument-derived class, then you would need to use:

((CMainFrame *) AfxGetMainWnd())->SetMyToolBarEditText("blabla");

CrocodileBuck14-Dec-07 6:03

Re: filling an EditBox (which is embedded) in a toolbar by clicking a ToolBarButton !

14-Dec-07 6:03

now GetMainWnd is undeclared !
when i include CMainFrame ic get these errors :
: 'GetParent' : Funktion akzeptiert keine 0 Parameter
: Der linke Teil von '->SetMyToolBarEditText' muss auf Klasse/Struktur/Union zeigen

Well, it's only valid from within a CWinThread-derived class.

If I remeber rightly it's written into the default registry by Platform Builder when the build of CE is out together. That's where I'd start looking. I'm sorry I can't dig around and get you any more info but I've got DEADlines and all that. Smile | :)

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Add them by yourself. Choose what you need and go to the articles, there are lots of them than will help you if you read them.

Or just make a SDI document and take CFormView as the main View, then use CDialogs for the other things.
