You should write with what type of control you work. It is a ListView? Show a code. Do you think we have a telepathy?

The List control can be a little bit quirky sometimes. Not knowing what your code looks like makes it a little difficult to diagnose, but here is my InsertItem/SetItemText code for a front-end application to a DVD collection database:
for( int i = 0; i < m_titles.GetSize(); ++i )
{
CMovieTitle* title = (CMovieTitle*)m_titles[i];
int itemCount = m_movieList.GetItemCount();
m_movieList.InsertItem(itemCount, title->m_sTitle ,0);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,1,title->m_sFormat);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,2,title->m_sRegionCode);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,3,title->m_sRating);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,4,title->m_sReleaseDate);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,5,title->m_sVideoReleaseDate);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,6,title->m_sStudio);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,7,title->m_sPresentation);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,8,title->m_sFeatures);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,9,title->m_sSound);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,10,title->m_sLanguage);
m_movieList.SetItemText(itemCount,11,title->m_sDuration);
}
CMovieTitle is a wrapper class that I use to hold one record from the database. In this example I am iterating through all of the records and inserting the data into a list control.
You also may be interested in how I am initializing my list control. Here's my code from OnInitDialog (my app is a dialog app):
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 0, "Movie Title", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 0);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 1, "Format", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 1);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 2, "Region Code", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 2);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 3, "Rating", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 3);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 4, "Release Date", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 4);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 5, "Video Release Date", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 5);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 6, "Studio", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 6);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 7, "Presentation", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 7);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 8, "Sound", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 8);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 9, "Features", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 9);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 10, "Language", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 10);
m_movieList.InsertColumn( 11, "Duration", LVCFMT_LEFT, -1, 11);
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 0, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 1, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 2, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 3, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 4, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 5, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 6, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 7, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 8, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 9, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 10, 60 );
m_movieList.SetColumnWidth( 11, 60 );
I hope this helps. If you have questions after looking at my code (which has been tested, BTW), feel free to send them my way.

Hi Matt,
Ever heard about that for{} instruction  ;P;P?

Ever heard how inefficient for loops are? Might be tidy, but it is certainly slower. Not to mention, my column widths may not always be equal. 
Thanks.

My computer have two VGA adapter ( No.1, No.2 ), set No.1 to the main display, No.2 is free, I want capture the content of No.1, then make some transform and copy to No.2.
The puzzle is, how to identify No.2( or No.3, No.4.. ), as far as know the function GetDC( NULL ) can get desktop( main display ) content.
|
|
|
|

use EnumDisplayMonitors[^];
I think the callback gets you a dc
to the particular portion of the
virtual desktop for each monitor.

hi, this old question... I need to retrieve the names of all columns given a table in form of an array of "char*"
I wrote. But this is syntatically incorrect of course:
pRs->Fields->GetItem( _variant_t(i))->get_Name(bstrFieldName);
tried to search for samples, all in VB:
For Each objField In objRecordset.Fields
' convert BSTR field name into char* field name....
Next
Havent been able to find one VC yet. Perhaps u can speed me up. THanks!

If you know the column number of the column name you're looking for, just do this:
short colIndex = 5;
CODBCFieldInfo info;
pRs->GetODBCFieldInfo(colIndex, info);
If you need to iterate through the fields, just get a column count with GetODBCFieldCount() on the recordset and loop through calling GetODBCFieldInfo each time.
Hope this helps.

thanks but i was explicitly told that this job be done via ADO...
anyway, but one more question:
how can u check if a field is a PK or FK? ADO recordset Field properties?
Code fragment would be appreciated.

...
i'm almost done with my module... just need this one last line to determine whether a field is a PK or FK...
To get field name:
pRs->Fields->Item[j]->get_Name(&bstrFieldName);
//Convert BSTR to char*
if(pszFieldName==NULL)
{
//Additional error handling here.
}
WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, bstrFieldName, -1, pszFieldName, this->m_nMaxFieldName+1, NULL, NULL);
To get Field Type:
_itoa(pRs->Fields->Item[j]->Type, pszFieldType, 10);
But just dont know how to determine if a field is PK/FK (primary key and foreign key). and MSDN documentation for VC developers is so bad.
help!

I;m writing a project that works with barcodes. The easiest way to work with them is to use them as font. The problem is that the font must be installes on the client computer.
Well, I'm looking for something different, where the user dossn't need to have or install the font, and the solution I came up with is to ave the font as a resource. This way the font will always be shipped with the program. Now the problem is how to use that font. That is, create a font object from a font definition which is a resource.
By the way, I dont want to copy the font to the font directory on the windows system.
Any clues or hints that can help me. Thanks in advance.

hi everyone,
in my sdi application, i created the 1st dialog by press on a button. within the 1st dialog, i created the 2nd dialog from the 1st dialog via a button click.. in the 2nd dialog, there is a button in it.. if the button in the 2nd dialog get clicked, the 2nd dialog is destory and returned me back to the 1st dialog.. is there a way to program the dialog so that if i click the button in the 2nd dialog, the 1st and 2nd dialog get to be destoyed at the same time?

there are many ways to do this, here's an easy one:
add a "bool" member variable to dlg 2. if the user presses the magic button on dlg 2, set that member variable to "true".
when dlg 2 ends, control is returned to dlg 1 (just after the dlg2.DoModal call). so, test dlg2.m_theBoolMemberVariableIJustDescribed. if it's "true" call OnCancel or OnOK.
-c
There's one easy way to prove the effectiveness of 'letting the market decide' when it comes to environmental protection. It's spelt 'S-U-V'.

Hello,
I am trying to construct a CListView in the LVS_REPORT mode, but I still want an icon at the beginning of each line entry. Is this possible? I can create the listview, and list all the data, but I cannot seem to make the icons appear.
I have written the following code:
Construction of the listview:
int CLPSListView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
lpCreateStruct->style |= LVS_REPORT;
if (CListView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
return -1;
// Give the document a pointer to this view
GetDocument()->m_pListView = this;
return 0;
}
In another function where I initialise the data, I create the CImageList, and also the CListCtrlEx, which is a helper class for listviews I found in the MFC Help:
CListCtrlEx& ctlList = (CListCtrlEx&) GetListCtrl();
m_ctlImage.Create(16,16,ILC_COLOR,0,3);
HICON PTIcon = theApp.LoadIcon(IDB_CLOSED);
ASSERT(PTIcon);
m_ctlImage.Add(PTIcon);
PTIcon = theApp.LoadIcon(IDB_OPEN);
m_ctlImage.Add(PTIcon);
ctlList.SetImageList(&m_ctlImage);
I create the columns, no problem, and then use the CListCtrlEx method Additem:
var = rs.GetFieldValue("Readfld");
ctlList.AddItem(nItem,0,CCrack::strVARIANT(var),0);
The last zero refers to the imagelist index.
For completeness I attach the AddItem code in CListCtrlEx:-
BOOL CListCtrlEx::AddItem(int nItem,int nSubItem,LPCTSTR strItem,int nImageIndex)
{
LV_ITEM lvItem;
lvItem.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lvItem.iItem = nItem;
lvItem.iSubItem = nSubItem;
lvItem.pszText = (LPTSTR) strItem;
if(nImageIndex != -1){
lvItem.mask |= LVIF_IMAGE;
lvItem.iImage |= LVIF_IMAGE;
}
if(nSubItem == 0)
return InsertItem(&lvItem);
return SetItem(&lvItem);
}
I would be very grateful to anyone who can suggest how to make the icon appear at the beginning of the line in this Report mode.
Thanks,
Paul Trimming

ListView_SetImageList(hwnd, ImgListHandle, LVSIL_SMALL);

Thanks for your reply, Roman.
By adding LVSIL_SMALL
(ctlList.SetImageList(&m_ctlImage1,LVSIL_SMALL);)
I got the listview to display the first loaded icon. (In the imagelist there are two different icons.) But the strange thing is that I have to put -1 in the actual line where I add the listitem, as follows:
ctlList.AddItem(nItem,NULL,CCrack::strVARIANT(var),-1);
If I put anything else, the icon disappears!!
As I have two icons in the imagelist, I should have thought I should put 0 or 1 in, and I should be able to vary which icon appears. (The -1 entry is the default.)
I would be most grateful for help as to why this is happening.
Thanks,
trimtrom

I'm trying....to write a program to compute phone bill with discounts and taxes....I got stumped though... I can't have the time with a 60 in it....How do I go about putting this in my code...and I need to compute to Taxes....I need to compute for before the taxes are added in with discounts where needed and with the tax after wards....any help would be grateful....

You need to use the formatting buttons above the emoticons below to add < and >, or check "Display message as is' above your signature below. I presume you added stdafx, iostream and what else ?
Also, using namespace std makes namespaces redundant. You should instead have
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
etc.
The way I format the above code block is to wrap it in a <pre> tag.

Because you already know the desired range before you start, this would be better as a for loop.
Also, I think your cin calls are failing, probably because you don't call cin.flush(). I entered one number and got full output of everything.

Again, this would be better as a for loop. You should also always set your variables a value when you create them, although in this case you do that in the second line, the two should be combined.
Also, endl does a flush as well as a new line. This is expensive, and should be avoided. cout << "\r\n" instead to avoid this extra penalty, and if ( as I suspect ) you're doing this for a class, comment the reason you've done so.
I presume your main problem is that you're having trouble calculating times because they cannot be greater than 59 for minutes ? I can't see where in the code you want to do this, but why can't you just do a while loop subtracting 60 from the minutes while they are > 60, and adding 1 to the hours every time ?

You are correct this is for a class....sometimes I just think to hard and get a block. I uderstand with the 60 but what i need is a error loop so if the user prints a 60 then an wrror message appears.... but if I do <60 then it won't let me process any number higher than 60? Any ideas for a code....Thank Christian!!

Well, say that the numer of hours is stored as m_hours, and the number of minutes as m_minutes, then you could do this:
if (m_minutes > 59)
{
cout << "Value entered greater than 59 minutes, converting to hours"
while(m_minutes > 59)
{
++m_hours;
m_minutes -= 60;
cout << ".";
}
cout << std::endl;
}
Ideally, you would probably ask the user if they want to re-enter the value, I'd think it's more likely to be an error. The easiest way to do this would be as follows:
int m_minutes = 0;
cout << "Please enter the number of minutes (0-59)";
do
{
cin >> m_minutes;
if (m_minutes < 0 || m_minutes > 59) cout "Invalid number entered, please try again ";
cin.flush();
} while (m_minutes < 0 || m_minutes > 59);

Thanks once a again Christian.....you make it looks so easy!!  Now how would I get my program to calcute the totals with and without tax.....would I just use my total sums of calls and then add tax....but how would get the discounts to calc. the price of the call and add it to my total? Or Am I just losing my mind??
