No. Try:
CTestDlg* aDlg = new CTestDlg(this); Remember to create an appropriate CTestDlg constructor.

Re: Entering Negative values in MSVS 6.0 Edit dialogs.
Has anyone found a solution or work around for the problem with entering a “negative” value in an Edit-Control Dialog box?
When a ‘int type’ is specified and validation is used or not, the same “Enter a Number Error” dialog is displayed when the first entry is the “ - “ key! 
I am aware of one work around first enter the number, then use HOME key, and then enter the – key, but this is very clumsy and many users would not know to use this.

What is an "MSVS 6.0 Edit dialog"? You mean like where you enter the number of spaces to use for a Tab? Why would you put a negative number in there?

MSVS 6.0 is Microsoft Visual Studio ver 6.0 for C++/MFC.
The Edit box is a Dialog Edit box where one can enter value into.

Because "-" is not a numeric character. Use a masked edit control.

Hey! I was fishing in here and had not bagged my limit .... yet!

Thank for the reply David,
Would you please explain 'masked edit control' and provide sample perhaps? 
This is an Edit box in a Dialog base application, and made via the Resource Editor.

Create a class derived from CEdit, let us call it CIntEdit, and handle WM_CHAR message:
void CIntEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
//Allowed characters
CString numeric = "-0123456789.";
if (numeric.Find(nChar) != -1)
CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}
This will only accept integer values.
Pierre.

Lets see if I can describe this clearly without writing a book. I have a DAO process in place that is updating one or more records for a given table. During this process when a certain value change or event occurs I make a call to a stored procedure to update a value (in a different table) thru ADO. When all the editing is done and the user exits the dialog, I get the following DAOexception message; The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data...
1) Is there a way I can let DAO know that my ADO call is okay to run?
2) What is happening under the hood? Are the DAO changes queued up and made at the end? If so, may these be accessed so the ADO call may be performed after DAO is happy(changes commited)?
Thank you.

I'm just guessing here.... your using MS Access? You are using two different drivers (Jet vs. ADO[OLE DB... ODBC... whatever]) so access sees two different users. Access is not reliable as a multi-user database.
Suggestion: switch to the SQL Desktop database product, I don't know what the name is this hour, and only use a single driver to access it.

Its a very complicated system, and it uses ACCESS linked thru to MS SQL Server. My understanding is that we are planning a switch to SQL Desktop, but getting there will be a lengthy process (and outside of my control/responsibilities).
Is there a way to call a stored proc (passing parameters) using DAO? And can it be performed while the other DAO process is active?

I don't know, I haven't used DAO for like 6 or 7 years now, it's just a bad idea. My memory is that DAO is for JET. JET does not have stored procedures it has "Queries". My memory is that the queries can have parameters and you can call them from DAO. But it's still a bad idea here's why:
If it works, do it

I'm looking for someone to help teach me C++, C# and VB and answer questions via phone. I just installed Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 and I haven't touched Visual Studio since 6.0, so I am a bit out of date. Also, I'm entirely self-taught, so I would like someone who can show me how to start from scratch and set things up 'correctly'. My focus is on creating a simple C++ form app using CLR specifically for Vista. I need to know the correct method for reading/writing files, and I would like to learn how to use RegisterPowerSettingNotification to catch the WM_POWERBROADCAST message in C++, C# and VB. If you can control a serial port, that would be great too.
Currently I am creating an application to control my home projector, but this is really just to help me come up to speed again. I can pay $25-30/hr via paypal. The calls can be done in off-hours late nights and weekends.
My email address is ima_computer@yahoo.com, thanks!

If you have a disabled/grayed item in a tree control, should it be possible to drag it to another location? Should it be possible to drop another item on it?
|
|
|
|
|
Do you have any knowledge of Drag and Drop, with anything? With a tree control?
You will receive the messages at the Tree Control level not the item level. You have to do the item level work from the control level message.
Does that answer your question?

No. I am not asking for coding details. I am asking about policy - should it be possible with a disabled item?
|
|

I guess that depends on what a grayed.disabled tree-view item means in the
context of the application.
My first thought is "no, it shouldn't be allowed" but a grayed item could mean anything
we choose it to.
I'm pretty sure that answered NONE of your question

 Obviously I didn't get that from your OP.
Generally no, but there would certainly be exceptions based on your specific application. I mean it's a usability issue so if it makes sense from a usability stand point then, yes, do it.
Does that help?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, you and Mark have confirmed my suspicion that there was no clear answer - unfortunately. 
Both of you have pointed out that there is no way of knowing why items are disabled, and therefore there can be no general policy regarding dragging them.
So I guess I have an answer. Thanks!
