Have you looked here[^]? Lots of articles on parsing strings.
This[^] article may be a special help to you.

The _bstr_t source code is on your PC, but in essence, you should use std::string, or failing that, C stype string mashing with the char * that _bstr_t provides.

Hello,
I have a CComboBox with three items in a dialog-based application. When I click on the combobox, the drop-down list only shows one item at a time and gives me a scrollbar. I want the drop-down list to show all three items.
I must be missing something. This must be a simple thing but I can't figure it out.
Thanks!

in the resource editor, click on the "down arrow", an expended view of the combo box will be displayed, you can drag the bottom edge to make the dropped part bigger.
I normally give it a big size to at least 15 items are visible.

Ah ha! Yes! thank you. That was driving me nuts!

In your resorce view you have to hold the left mouse click down on the combo box and extend it. This should show all your items in the list.
Hope this helps...

Thanks! (you do have to click the down-arrow on the combobox first. I would never have figured that out on my own.)

Thanks Jack Squirrel!
My problem now is to transfer an array of double from the 'Doc to the 'View. I can make the transfer via a CArray of CString 's, which would be ok but messy. When I say 'transfer' I mean read the contents of doubles filled and working nicely in 'Doc into 'View. Clicking them all across with the mouse is not on the agenda. Thanks.

So you have something like:
class CMyDocument : public CDocument
{
public:
double m_arrNumbers[5];
};

If you have declared the array as a member of the CMyDocument then you can do this in your CMyView class(in the function that needs the array)
... CMyView::function name(...)
{
CMyDocument *doc = GetDocument();
.....
doc->m_arrNumbers[x] = ....;
}

I am using the createNode function to create the nodes, however, after each node creation, i am appending and releasing.
This does not seem to work when it comes to my second node that i am appending.
_variant_t varTyp((short)MSXML2::NODE_ELEMENT);
HRESULT hr;
CoInitialize(NULL);
hr = pXMLDom. CreateInstance(__uuidof(DOMDocument40));
//Preserve whitespace
pXMLDom->preserveWhiteSpace = VARIANT_TRUE;
//Create Processing Instruction
pi = pXMLDom->createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'");
if (pi != NULL)
{
pXMLDom->appendChild(pi);
pi.Release();
}
//Create Node and append to Document
pNode=pXMLDom->createNode(varTyp,"Form","urn:query");
// Set pNode to a valid reference of some node
// Now cast it to IXMLDOMElement
pNode->QueryInterface(IID_IXMLDOMElement, (void**)&pDOMElement);
// Now use "pDOMElement" to add an attribte
pDOMElement->setAttribute("Sender","10");
pDOMElement->setAttribute("Software","Mine");
//Append to DOM Document
pXMLDom->appendChild(pNode);
//Release Node and element
pNode.Release();
pDOMElement.Release();
*****Here is where when i try to append again i get a com error on the appendChild call.
//Create AutoSend Node
if (SUCCEEDED(pNode=pXMLDom->createTextNode("AutoSend")));
if (SUCCEEDED(pNode->put_text (BSTR(L"Yes"))));
//Append to DOM Document
if (SUCCEEDED(pXMLDom->appendChild(pNode)));
//Release Node
pNode.Release();
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong or guide me to an example that would do nested nodes and attributes like the one that i am attempting to do..
Thanks,

Does anyone have any examples on how to use the readfile() function. This is my first time to use it and I'm taking the instructions straight from MSDN and it's not working. Here is what I have.
HANDLE fptr;
bool bResult;
LPVOID inBuffer;
DWORD nBytesToRead = 20;
LPDWORD nBytesRead = 0;
bResult = ReadFile(fptr, &inBuffer, nBytesToRead, nBytesRead, NULL);
I don't think I fully understand how the function works.

There are many problems with the code you posted... these parts are OK:
Camron wrote:
HANDLE fptr;
bool bResult;
DWORD nBytesToRead = 20;
But here are the problems...
LPVOID inBuffer;
LPDWORD nBytesRead = 0;
These should be similar to the following:
<br />
UCHAR inBuffer[10000];
DWORD nBytesRead = 0;
Now with those changes, there is one more step before you can read...
fptr is a handle to a file - you haven't opened a file yet!
Now your attempt to read would become:
bResult = ReadFile(fptr, inBuffer, nBytesToRead, &nBytesRead, NULL);
After you read, you can close the file.
Hope that helps.

Hello. I'm reading and excel (.xls) file using ODBC. For the most part it's working well, except I have a few columns that aren't being read accurately. The problem columns have data that can be either an int, text, or range such as int-int (ie. 12-16). The columns are specified as a general number format, although I have tried to change them to text.
The problem is that the results from the query are not reading all the data formats. So in a columns described above, it may only read int values, but not the range value. When it queries a cell with the range data the result is empty.
It seems that whatever type of value is first in the column defines which data type will be able to be read from the column. So if the first value in the column in a range (12-15), then only ranges will be accurately read, while int's will not.
Is this a probem with the database being setup incorrectly? Or is there a way to read the data regardless? as a string say?
Any thoughts on how I can fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The problem is in the logic used by the Excel ODBC driver. It treats the spreadsheet as if its rows and columns were rows and columns in a relational database table. As part of this, it assigns a datatype to each column. The problem is, a spreadsheet column may contain mixed datatypes. The ODBC driver makes a best guess at the datatype, based on the first couple of rows of data. Unfortunately, values for any cells that can't be expressed as this datatype instead appear as NULL.
Check out MSDN Knowledge Base Q257819 ("How To Use ADO with Excel Data from Visual Basic or VB"), particularly the section entitled "A Caution about Mixed Data Types".

does ::GetMetaFile() open the file once its called. what function do i call to close the metafile. Because once i try to open the file later, it gives me a sharing violation error.
thanks

GetMetaFile() has been superseded by GetEnhMetaFile(). When the handle is no longer needed, call DeleteEnhMetaFile().

I have been looking for a utility that would go thru my VC++ MFC project code and delete all unused files. My best guess is I need some kind of reverse compiler.
I have never done any compiler work (build a compiler) and have no clue where to start.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reading

Delete unused FILES ?
You can parse the DSP files, and if the file is not in it, then it is not used in the project.
Did you perhaps mean unused functions ?

Hi All,
I'm working on my first project in VS 2003 (coming from 6.0), and have run into a snag while creating a simple dialog. The problem is this. I am building a CAD application with MFC, and needed a dialog to manage the creation of one of the primitives. Simple enough.. I placed 2 radio buttons on the form (along with other controls), and then began assigning variables to the controls. The problem arose when the class wizard would not display any of the control ID's for the radio buttons. So, I tried to add the variable relations in by using DDX_Radio(). The program would give me a runtime error at that point that I couldn't track down. After troubleshooting for about an hour, I decided to place a CComboBox in instead since I could essentially track/manage the variable just as easily. After assigning a variable to the combo box, I went to fill it using AddString in the OnInitDialog() function. The problem is that the combobox doesn't drop. I can't see a way to manipulate it in the resource editor, and this has consumed and insane amount of time for such a simple task. I've never had a problem with this in VS 6.0, and it's a bit confusing.
Here's the code in my InitDialog (m_typeBox is the CComboBox control):
<br />
BOOL CTerminalPrompt::OnInitDialog()<br />
{<br />
CDialog::OnInitDialog();<br />
<br />
m_Elements = 1;<br />
m_typeBox.AddString("testing");<br />
m_typeBox.AddString("testing2");<br />
this->UpdateData(FALSE);<br />
<br />
return TRUE;
}<br />
Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I missing something?
Thanks, your help is a GREATLY appreciated

One thing off the top of my head. Make sure that the combobox is big enough to display the dropdown. It may be showing the dropdown but the control isn't big enough for you to see it. There appears to be two sizes for the combo. One size is what you see and the other is with the dropdown. At least, that's how I look at it.
