You could use the returned value by UpdataData(TRUE)
to leave CYourDialog::OnOK() if it (the value) is FALSE 
virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

Thanks for your answer, however, i believe you don't understand the problem. What i want is UpdateData to not display any message boxes about errors during validation, it would be best if it would just simply move values from the edit controls to the data members silently, if it hits a problem, it can default to 0 or somehow report back at which edit it hit the problem so one can display customized error messages...
Guess i will have to try and give some custom implementation for DDX...

OK
Just define your own macro DDX_CheckNumEditControl(pDX, IDC, iVar),
that does fill an empty edit box by the value of the variable,
if (TRUE == pDX->m_bSaveAndValidate),
and set it above the exchange line of the box
virtual void BeHappy() = 0;

Yes, i'm already doing this, disapointing how the DDX system is so non-configurable when it comes to validation... thank you.

You can easily write your own DDX_* function to do validation.
This can be an option for you if all your fields are of the same type. Otherwise you will still end up with a lot of different functions you must implement. The easiest way to to do this is to set a breakpoint on your current DDX_* function call, step in and see what it does. Then write your own handler with your own error handling. This is mostly copy&paste work. I have done this many times, not having your problem, but e.g to get user data from a selected row in a CList and such.

Thank you for your reply, i am already in the process of doing this, it is really disapointing how the "original" DDX system is non-configurable when it comes to "what to do when validating"...

Code-o-mat wrote: What i did was to create a few dialogs with a whole bunch of edit controls on them that let the user hammer in all kinds of data, mostly numbers, when the OK button is hit, i called UpdateData to move the user's entries into integer values and then check these for correctness and display a message box if something's wrong. This works ok as long as the user entered something into the edit fields, but if the user leaves one empty, then during the Dataexchange process a nice little "Please enter an integer" message box is spit up...
While not a direct solution to your problem, you should consider disabling the OK button until all the edit controls are non-empty. This works for other controls, too. You can ensure that items in comboboxes and listboxes have been selected, checkboxes have been checked, etc, all before enabling the OK button.

Hi,
My application requires printing of data on different printers.
Is it possible to ensure that after a printer has been chosen (that may not be the default printer), the print layout is in Landscape mode?
I have looked at examples from MSDN, mfcdvmdvcnet.exe (I can't remember the Q number), but that seems oriented to using the default printer, whereas I want to ensure that after printer selection the print format is landscape using the DEVMODE structure.
EDITTED TO ADD - is there also anyway to detect the name of the chosen printer after it has been selected if it is not the default printer?
EDITTED TO CLARIFY - I have two printers, printer1 - the default A4 printer, and printer2 - my A3 printer. When I print I want to select printer2 and set it to be Landscape. How do I, using EnumPrinters or an alternative, get the name of the now selected printer, printer2, and change the DEVMODE to ensure that Landscape is used?
If anyone has a pointer to some code, or an article, that would be great.
TIA
Tony

Are you using PrintDlg() for this? If so, look at the hDevNames member of the PRINTDLG structure.

This might help you I guess :
void CYourApp::SetupDefaultPrinter()
{
UpdatePrinterSelection(FALSE);
if (m_hDevMode == NULL)
DEVMODE* pDevMode = (LPDEVMODE)::GlobalLock(m_hDevMode);
if(pDevMode)
{
pDevMode->dmFields |= DM_ORIENTATION;
pDevMode->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE
::GlobalUnlock(m_hDevMode);
}
}
Njoy...

How to get column width of each columns in the ListView Control

You may use, for instance, ListView_GetColumnWidth macro.

My guess is that Notepad opens the file for reading only (and only tries to open it for writing if the user wants to save, at which point it will also fail), when Excel or Word or the likes opens the file it probably allows other processes to read the file, but not to write to them (this would explain how you get a "open for reading only" option from Word if you try to open a document that is opened by another word instance/another user's word...). Can it be that when you use CreateFile to open the file you try to open it for writing?

Maybe the same difference there is between a C++ forum and Google.
