I created that db field as nullable which in databasey according to docs means(for access) a blank string. SO it shouldnt be upset about that. I get no error msg, just that nothing gets added to the whole record if one fields value is left blank.

i had once the same prob in access, i didnt solve it, i just replaced a blank string with _ !

I like that solution. So if getwindowtext gives me back a cstring "", I'll just replace it with _, and vice versa when retrieving it. Great idea!
Thanks,

I'm tearing my hair out here through frustration because I know its probably the stupidest of problems but whatever way I try I can't get it fixed.
Basically I've taken a CString from the CFileDialogs GetPathName function, I'm needing to turn that into a char*, or more exact a PSTR but I think they're the same, but I keep getting Access Violations whichever way I try this. Just now my code is
<br />
char* szPath = new char[pathToExe.GetLength()+1];<br />
strcpy(szPath,(LPCTSTR)pathToExe);<br />
TRACE("szPath = %s\n",szPath);<br />
I've also tried using the CString.GetBuffer, without the (LPCTSTR), but no luck there either, how the damnation do I do this Please save my sanity and not laugh too hard at the newbie
Thanks fellas

Are you sure that the error is in these lines? It seems to be correct.
It may be because allocation of char* on the heap fails (just a guess).

d'oh, you're right, and thanks for the quick reply because you just made me set a breakpoint and saw that it wasn't that that was the problem. I'm trying to use the WinSpy32 code to make something of my own and didn't spot it doing something in the background.

This happens sometimes. Once, in Linux, in a simuation program i was stuck with an error for a whole day. Then I started to blame the simulation program. But it turned out that I was trying to divide an integer by zero  Now I blame linux, because instead of telling me that there is a divide by zero error, it just gave me that famous error report "segmentation fault". Nothing more

are you doing a Unicode build?

Did you try this too? if you are compiling ASCII version, your code should work.
TCHAR* szPath = new TCHAR[pathToExe.GetLength()+1];
lstrcpy(szPath, pathToExe);
TRACE("szPath = %s\n",szPath);

Your code sample will crash if used in a UNICODE build. new will allocate a certain number of bytes, not characters
TCHAR* szPath = new TCHAR[ (pathToExe.GetLength() + 1) * sizeof(TCHAR) ];

Hmmm... I was surprised by your comment since you are allocating twice memory than
necessary. sizeof(TCHAR)==1 for ASCII and 2 for _UNICODE build. I tried it with VS .NET and it works fine. It should work also with VS6. 
BTW, I used lstrcpy in my example not strcpy!

You are right, PJ lost his mind there for a moment. He is thinking malloc and not new.

No, I did not loose my mind. But now that you point it out, and I think about it, I will admit that I was wrong. No excuse can be made for ignorance.

Try LockBuffer/UnlockBuffer for obtaining a non-const LPSTR

This is probably elementary but I cant find anything suitable in the docs. All i want to do is put the text from the first item in the listbox, into an edit box. I wont be selecting the item, I just want the text from it.
Thanks,
ns

from msdn:
CString GetItemText(int nItem, int nSubItem );
Parameters:
nItem - The index of the item whose text is to be retrieved.
nSubItem - Specifies the subitem whose text is to be retrieved.
ex: CString strTemp = m_lbMyListBox.GetItemText(0,0);

I have a CTreeCtrl who has a message handler for TVN_SELCHANGED
ON_NOTIFY(TVN_SELCHANGED, IDC_MYTREE, OnTvnSelchangedMyTree) this function looks like this:
void CMyApp::OnTvnSelchangedMyTree(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
TRACE("CMyApp::OnTvnSelchangedMyTree()\n");
LPNMTREEVIEW pNMTreeView = reinterpret_cast<LPNMTREEVIEW>(pNMHDR);
UpdateStatusPane();
*pResult = 0;
}
my problem is that when I populate the list it calls this OnTvnSelchangedMyTree() after every item that is added to the list.. my UpdateStatusPane() is a little lengthy, so it makes the populating of my tree slow..
is there any way to add items to a tree without sending a selection changed message after each one added? anyone have any other suggestions?
thanks in advance!

Did you try to remove TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS style with ModifyStyle(...)?
I was not sure what you were doing inside of UpdateStatusPane(), are you changing the tree selection again? If so, then you shouldn't!

i turned the always show selection off and it still calls the selection changed event handler.. ah well..
i fixed it by adding this:
if (pNMTreeView->action != TVC_UNKNOWN)
UpdateStatusPane();
my UpdateStatusPane() is just populating a side view with a bunch of info about whats selected.. the if statement i added makes it where it wont call the function unless the user selects the item with the keyboard or mouse, not if it is told the selection changed by another function.

I'm not sure if this will help but try calling SetRedraw( FALSE ) before any updates and SetRedraw( TRUE ) when you're done.
