Use a CEdit member variable instead.

Your requirements do not indicate a need to set the cursor.

All you need to do is call m_edit.SetLimitText(1000) in the dialog's OnInitDialog() method. When you are ready to get the text to write to the file, just call m_edit.GetWindowText().

thanks again david..

lemme make it some more clear now.. i have already assigned the member variable to CString and iam appending the text to another CString...
i tried ur method but den realised the above mentioned pblm.. how can i solve that....
iam putting my piece of code for saving the text here.. plz do check...

void CNoteDlg::OnSave()
{
UpdateData(TRUE);

static char BASED_CODE szFilter[] = "Text files (*.txt)|*.txt||";

char nextline[3];
nextline[0] = 0x0D;
nextline[1] = 0x0A;
nextline[2] = 00;

CString S1;

CFile flEdit;

CFileDialog FileDlg(FALSE, ".txt","Prioritynotes",
OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, szFilter);

if( FileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK )
{
if( flEdit.Open(FileDlg.GetFileName(), CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite) == FALSE )
return;

S1 += "Critical****";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += "--------------------------";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += m_sedit1;
S1 += nextline;
S1 += nextline;

S1 += "Important***";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += "--------------------------";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += m_sedit2;
S1 += nextline;
S1 += nextline;

S1 += "Less Important**";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += "--------------------------";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += m_sedit3;
S1 += nextline;
S1 += nextline;

S1 += "Normal*";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += "--------------------------";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += m_sedit4;
S1 += nextline;

flEdit.Write(S1.GetBuffer(S1.GetLength()), S1.GetLength());

flEdit.Close();
}
else
return;

}

What problem?

Should you be using CStdioFile instead?

sonualex wrote:
flEdit.Write(S1.GetBuffer(S1.GetLength()), S1.GetLength());

What's wrong with just:

flEdit.Write(S1, S1.GetLength());

sonualex wrote:

return;

Unnecessary.

You call SetWindowText() wherever you want the contents of the edit control changed.

thanks david for ur help...

SetLimitText is giving an assertion failure once i keep it in OnInitDialog()...
SetWindowText and GetwindowText as per my understanding should be kept where we change the text in edit box.. as i told earlier i have not created any function for editbox...

my understanding is the text we enter in editbox is
m_sedit1 = _T("") which is in
CNoteDlg::CNoteDlg(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/): CDialog(CNoteDlg::IDD, pParent)

and the ::DoDataExchange(pDx)
DDV_MaxChars(pDX, m_sedit1, 1000);

plz letme knw if im not giving u the correct picture of my code...

hope u wud continue helping me..
thanku so much

I'm not sure what a "function for editbox" is.

I indicated here that you should use a CEdit object instead.

Hi david ...

Iam following ur suggestions truely...thanku so much for ur patience...
Asserion faliure is showing in AFXWIN2.lnl line 881....
Dont know how to solve that...
OnInitDialog is not allowing to keep CEdit m_edit1;
m_edit1.SetLimitText (1000); in it....

What i meant by function is if we click on EN_CHANGE it will ask for add function OnChangeEdit1()..

Presently iam stuck with CEdit SetlimitText,SetWindowText and GetWindowText.. Frown | :(

plz bear with me

You should start by looking at line #881 of afxwin2.inl. It is asserting that a valid window handle exists, which obviously does not.

Are you declaring this variable in OnInitDialog()?

DDX_CONTROL vs Create for Cricheditctrl and effects on Streaming

Hi,

I have been using DDX_CONTROL to Attach My Cricheditctrl to my resource multiline edit control

For some reason this stops the CRichedit.Streamin from working

With ::Create no problem

Was wondering if anybody had any insights

As I always like to know the reason why things work or Don't

thankx...

Please explain what you mean by "stops from working". Does it crash, does it stop on an assert, does it simply not load the content? How and where did you try to use it?

The content doesn't load

Maybe the FrameWork expects me to use DDX

to read and write data after connecting the

resource item to the CRichEditctrl object don't

know

but If I do CRichedictrlptr *CRicheditrl =

CDialog.GetDlgItem(IDC_RICHEDIT)

I able to populate the Richedit using the

Streamin method

I highly doubt that.
Could it be that maybe you are trying to load that content before DoDataExchange runned?

The streamin method should work after DDX_CONTROL

I have to have a closer look at my Code

at this point I am thinking that I dont have to Call UpdateData as that is

Done automatically by the default CDialog::Oninitdialog

Which I have in my OnInitdialog

I'll take a closer look

thankx

Get OS information

I need to get OS info,

1. name: i.e. Windows XP, WinNT 4 etc.
2. edition: i.e. Server, professional, standard etc.

The info should start from Win98 (or Win2K) and up to latest one.
- is the latest one Windows 7 now?

I have C code to show up to XP, do you have code for new OS?

Use the GetVersionEx[^] API to get the version of the running OS.
Look into the remarks section of the documentation for OSVERSIONINFOEX[^] for the list of OS codes.
