Hi,
I'm using a CListCtrl with some customisation such that selecting an item will bring up a drop down list for selection.
If I use a CComboBox then the drop down list is visible outside of the CListCtrl window, but if I use a CListBox then although the list box is created properly, it is not visible outside of the list control window.
Is there a style I am missing when creating my List Box? I am currently using WS_CHILD, WS_VISIBLE and WS_BORDER to define the appearance.
TIA
Tony

Since the list box has WS_CHILD, it will be confined in the parent window (which is the list control). Without knowing the details of your design, I currently cannot think of a solution to your problem.modified on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 7:44 AM

You are using CListBox, CListCtrl and "List Box" interchangeably. Which is it?"One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

I have a dialog that displays of list of configurable settings.
This list of settings is presented to the user in the form of a CListCtrl.
Some of the items have defined settings, so when I click on the chosen item a list of available options is presented to the user in the form a CListBox. The user then makes his selection from this list, and the CListBox closes, updating the CListCtrl item with the text of the newly chosen item.
The CListBox is created on the fly, with the style settings outlined in my original post.
The problem is that the height of the CListBox is clipped at the bottom edge of the CListCtrl, whereas I would like the CListBox to display it's full list on top of the whole dialog, not just the CListCtrl.
Hopefully that is a bit clearer.
TIA
Tony

Why not create the listbox (or listboxes) at design time (rather than runtime) and just show/hide it (them) as necessary?"One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

Hi,
The same list box is used for 5 different settings, and contains differing data for each configuration setting. The style of the list box is different foe each configuration setting, i.e. in as much as some settings require a vertical scroll bar due to the number of options available, and some settings dont.
The start position of the List Box is obviously different for each configuration setting.
I did try a CComboBox solution initially, but this looked untidy as it's height could not be reduced to the height of a List Control item. The drop down list of the CComboBox though did sit nicely over the top of everything.
TIA
Tony

And you think Windows will get angry/confused for creating multiple listboxes, one for each configuration?"One man's wage rise is another man's price increase." - Harold Wilson

Hi,
Each time I need a CListBox I create a new one of the style required, in the location required.
When I'm finished with it, I tidy it up.
Even if I used just 1 list box and left it there, I'd still have the same problem of my CListBox having it's height clipped and not being able to see all the data that the CListBox is displaying.
Is there a way to set the CListBox so it will be completely visible?
TIA
Tony

Have you tried to not use WS_CHILD style on the listbox? Instead, use WS_POPUP style so it will not be confined in the parent window (i.e., the list control).

Still no joy on this one........
I tried creating with CreateEx as well as Create, and I've tried pretty much every style option that is available.
Even when using a single CListBox item for each of the configuration options, I'm still getting the problem of the CListBox being clipped.
Any further ideas?
Thanks for the help so far.
TIA
Tony

Hi All,
I am reading some big files having thousands of lines, my requirement is to write some thing on the last but one line(i know the length of last line). how to seek my file pointer to last but one line with out seeking all the position from the beginning of the file?
i tried with some code, but not achieving the right goal. please check the code
long seekval = assfile.SeekToEnd();
assfile.Seek((seekval - 4.0),0);
assfile.WriteString(_T("some text"));
assfile is the CStdioFile obj.
4 is the length of the last line.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kumar

A quick look at the MSDN[^] page suggests this answer:
assFile.Seek(-4, CFile::end);

| Read the content of the file, modify what you need, write the file back. You cannot modify a line directly in a text file. SkyWalker

Are you sure about that?
My memory - not that I've done file handling in the last 4 or 5 years - says that you can modify whatever you want, you just can't add any characters or take away any characters (so you can't add a line of text to a text file, but you can change "Paul" to "Fred".

If you are using CFile, then the second parameter for the Seek() method is from where to seek. In your case you should seek from the end of the file, using CFile::end. In your code, you are seeking from the beginning of the file.

Sorry, Richard MacCutchan had already answered the question. Ignore mine, please!

First Read the last line
Move this line by the length of line you want to add in front.
Then paste the required line above it
I hope this will doashwani

| This is a ridiculous question. You are asking for a program that commercial organisations spend years developing. Nobody can give you that information in a few sentences or lines of code. txtspeak is the realm of 9 year old children, not developers. Christian Graus

You need to learn some programming to hook certain exes and get familiarity with headers and formats of EXE's to hook and process according to your needs. This can lead you to better explore the virus and Trojans activities in the system.
Good Luck

Yes I Can,
Just send me a $10,000,000 cheque for Downpayment, and, after it clears I will try to assemble a group of about 10 world renowned analysts to look at the problem afresh. I will than issue you with a report of the Outline, and a cost projection for completing the program.

I've no idea if there exists a better method, though I'd be inclined to simply query the registry on the server.
Should this be a viable method (security settings may well prevent it) then you may want to check the values of the following keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
- ProductName
- ProductId
- RegisteredOwner
- CSDVersion
- BuildLab
