You could use the same idea that a lot of websites use, in that they build their lists dynamically as the user types into them. So if the user starts typing a you just load all the customer names from that sub group. Here are some CodeProject articles[^] that discuss the issue.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Thanks for the input, using some kind of incremental search could be an option.
However, my query was for a custom control with similar functionality as a CComboBox, but where the list box (the dropdown part) is replaced with a tree control or a menu with submenus. There's several examples here at codeproject, but I don't find any of them really cut for the job. It seemed like a pretty common problem, so there should definitely be someone out there having solved it.

Well I guess not since you can't find a sample.

If you could find a ComboBox that expands into CListCtrl, then you can use the grouping feature of the CListCtrl.
But an easier solution is just to use two ComboBoxes. One that allows one to select user type, and one that displays the filtered result within the selected user type.

Hi
I have a function
void TakeData(myStruct &structRef)
{
CString str = TmpFileMgr->TmpFilePathName() ;
structRef.cstrFilePath = str ;
}
in a dll which takes Temporary folder path and assign it in a CString variables. This CString variable is member of structure object which is passed as a reference to TakeData(myStruct &structRef)function.
I am able to print temporary folder path in TakeData function and CString assigment works perfectly on Windows XP. But when I run this code on Windows 7 it crashes at the point where I am doing assigment of temp folder path in a CString variable. I have all admin rights on Windows 7 System , also I have put UAC to OFF.
Please provide any input in this regard. Thanks

And yet this is the code you do not show. If TakeData() is not pages long, please post it.

What is the definition of myStruct, and what is the value of structRef when the crash occurs?

Struct is defined as below. Before crash ,value of cstrFilePath is empty.
struct myStruct
{
int charsize ;
CString cstrFilePath;
myStruct() : charsize (0)
{
cstrFilePath.Empty();
}
} ;

Which is rather irrelevant. What I asked was, what is the value of structRef when the crash occurs?

You have supplied very little to go on, so in addition to suggesting you provide more information I'll ask a question: are you allocating memory in one module and freeing it in another (a module is a dll or exe)?

I am sorry for adding incomplete info.
I have allocated memory to object of structure myStruct in one dll and passed this struct object as a reference to another dll. This crash happens only while assinging value to
structRef.cstrFilePath variable. Finally I was able to assign value inside CString variable using
wsccpy method. I was able to resolve this crash with following code , but I am sure this is not the correct way to do it.
wcscpy (structRef.cstrFilePath.GetBuffer (), str.GetBuffer ()) ;
I am still trying to resolve this issue in a correct way. I am using Windows 7 system and GCC Compiler. Thanks all for replying to my previous post.

Unless you configure things properly each module (dll or exe or other executable module) has it's own heap. In this environment you can't allocate memory in one module and free it another. Given that CString manages a buffer using an instance in multiple modules could result in this happening. Forget wcscpy, it's ugly and isn't a fix for the root problem, whatever it is. If it's heap corruption, which is my guess, it's going to blow up sooner or later and "fixing" one problem with an ugly hack will just result in it popping up somewhere else.

Finally I have solved this issue.
The CString when used with GCC was Used as LinuxCString which is internally std::string. Capacity of std::string when calculated was every time 0. so when I tried to assign const char* to LinuxCString ( i.e. CString in MSVC ) it was crashing.
I have used std::string.reserve (200) method to specify the capacity first while initialization. This solves my issue.
I am still evaluating whether my fix is perfect or not.
Thanks all

The fix is far from perfect, you shouldn't need to call reserve. If I were you I'd be looking for the real problem.

Hi, I am developing an application that toggles the screen in Debian 6 Platform.
In earlier days I done this with Debian 5, It works good. But if I use the same code in Debian 6, I face a segmentation fault in libgtk-x11-2.0.so.2000.0 and libgdk-x11-2.0.s0.2000.0. Since they are Library files I cant do anything with that. Is there any other possibility to prevent my application from facing Segmentation fault???
Expecting for a quick reply
Thanks & Regards

I don't think anyone is likely to be able to guess why your program fails. You need to do some diagnosis to find out where the segmentation fault occurs, and what the last call out from your code was.

This is the Snippet I got when tried to trace the Segmentation fault using GDB
#0 0xb7281601 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
#1 0xb7282835 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

I guess that's your first clue. But really, you have to do some analysis here; we cannot begin to guess what is going on in your code.

I tried out with GDB to detect the place where Segmentation fault Occurs. I cant able to retrieve any local Variable's Information at that place. Is there any good tool to trace Segmentation Fault?
Thanks & Regards

None that I am aware of. Unfortunately they are often difficult to catch without a good back stacktrace. The best you can do is add some extra trace/debug code into your program and see if you can collect some more information before the fault occurs.

I want to set the function pointer at runtime. But i'm stuck here. When i use global function or static class member function, everything is ok. but, when the function is ordinary class member functions. i always got compiler errors. Here is the code:
class A
{
int val;
public:
A() { val = 0; }
A(int j) { val = j; }
int aFun(int k) {val -= k; return val; }
};
typedef int (* func)(int );
class B
{
func m_addr;
public:
B(func param)
: m_addr(param)
{
}
void execute()
{
cout << m_addr(9) << endl;
}
};
I'm trying to use them like this:
A a;
B b(A::aFun);
b.execute();
after googled a lot, i found that std::mem_fun may be helpful. but i don't know how to use it. anyone can help me?
PS: i'm using Visual C++ 2010

I think the function needs to be a class function (i.e. static).

The code doesn't make a lot of sense. The is no connection between the member function to be called and a specific instance of A on which to call it. Also the typedef is incorrect for a non-static member function, make it look likes this:
typedef int (* A::func)(int );

A::aFun is different from func.
