tem or temp? Just a typo while framing the question or some other temporary variable?

MSDN says: RegQueryValue is provided only for compatibility with 16-bit versions of Windows. Applications should use the RegQueryValueEx function.

Besides that, what do you mean by:

LONG cbData = 80? How do you know that this would be enough? RegQueryValueEx returns ERROR_SUCCESS if successful. Did you check the return value of the function?

There is a list box in dialog resource.

While running, it is having two arrows on right side vertically.

I want to make it only one arrow towards down and when clicking it I want to show all the items in the list.

How to do it?

Thanks & Regards,
Suman

I think you need a Combobox instead of listbox.

I hope you just picked the combo and placed it to dialog. If you did so, by default the dropdown list size will be small to occupy only one item. So do the following

1) After placing the combo to the dialog in resource editor, click on the drop down arrow and dropdown size change rect will appear.
2) Drag the dropdown size selection so that you can see bigger list.

If you want to do it via code, send CB_SETMINVISIBLE to the combobox by specifying the minimum number of items visible in the combo.

Regards,
Jijo.

Hi Jijo,

Thanks for the help!!

Design time sizing of control is working well.

To do it in code, sending message only is enough or do we need to something else like creating manifest file..

Thanks,
Suman

Just send the message. That will be enough. I'm sure that the combo will hear your message. Wink | ;)

That's because OnCreateClient() is a CFrameWnd method, not a CView method.

Adding third choice to OK and CANCEL buttons in dialog window

Kwanalouie1-Jun-08 5:46

Using Visual C++ 6.0 MFC in SDI application

I created a dialog window. After the user enters data, he can select OK or CANCEL and the window automatically closes. I wanted to add a button called "TEST" to this same dialog. When the user clicks on the "TEST" button, I want to automatically close this dialog window just as it happens when he clicks OK or CANCEL. But I don't know how to set things up to do that.
Thanks!

In your test button handler call

CDialog::OnOK();

Then your dialog will be closed automatically. Smile | :)

Actually the CDialog::OnOK() calls UpdateData() to update data from controls to member variables and calls EndDialog() to close the dialog.

Regards,
Jijo.

Well you can insert a button to your dialog box and insert OnOK() or EndDialog() on this button.

Like a pair, for the first field, the value is unique, and the second field, the value is also unique. And I can quickly use one field to find another. Is there such a template class?

What about a class that contains the datas you need and a CList of it?

Take a look to http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/SmartListII.aspx[^], it may help you.

Since your first field is unique and you want to lookup the second field by using first, map will be the best choice. You can use either CMap or std::map.
