I'm using a CIPAddressCtrl which gets filled with a device's IP. The user can edit this IP and I need to make sure none of the fields (octets) are blank if the user wants to update the device with the new IP. If any are blank and the user tries to update (with a click of a button), then there will be an error.
I see there is a SetFieldFocus that can set the focus if an octet is blank, but I'm not sure if it's useful for what I need or how to use it in my case. Is there any work around to achieve this?
Thanks.

In order to validate the use input, call the GetAddress method and check its return value. See the documentation: CIPAddressCtrl Class | Microsoft Learn[^].

Tried that already. GetAddress doesn't tell you whether or not an octet is blank. If you do GetAddress and get the four octets and one of them is blank, then it's just a zero. However, it could also mean that the user could have entered zero.
The IPM_GETADDRESS message returns the number of non-blank fields so that'll probably work for me unless anyone has any other ideas.

DWORD dwIPAddr;
iNonBlankOctets = ::SendMessage(hWnd, IPM_GETADDRESS, 0, (LPARAM)&dwIPAddr);
This worked for me.

But how would you differentiate between an empty octet and an octet containing 0?

iNonBlankOctets = ::SendMessage(hWnd, IPM_GETADDRESS, 0, (LPARAM)&dwIPAddr);
Not exactly sure how to tell if specific octets are blank or 0.
In my case, making sure iNonBlankOctets is never less than the total number of octets is sufficient validation so if any octets are blank, then there's an error.

The return value of IPM_GETADDRESS is a DWORD that is broken up into 4 pieces, one for each of the four octets. There is no count.
A possibly better option would be to call GetWindowText() on the CIPAddressCtrl's control. Getting the string representation of the IP address would allow you to parse and validate the octets. You would still get 0 for empty ones, though.

Tried these...
public class Program {
static async Task Main()
{ }
}
static int Main()
{
No luck , I'm afraid ...

I'm afraid you will have to learn basic syntax of C++ language. Get a good book and start going through it.

That's C# code, not C/C++. You posted this in the wrong forum.
But I see you already posted this elsewhere and received answers to it, so reposting this was redundant.

Hello
i am a total newbie in C++ and i am learning by tryning to modify an existing code which uses displays.
In the original code there are 2 displays showing informations to the user
I want to add a third display do i copied the screen2.cpp and screen2.h and renamed them to screen3.cpp and screen3.h
Inside the screen3 code i replace all mentions of screen2 by screen3
and i added the screen 3 in the screens.cpp script
// User screens
MMIRegisterScreen(SCREENID_1, Screen1Enter, Screen1Create, Screen1Update, Screen1Exit);
MMIRegisterScreen(SCREENID_2, Screen2Enter, Screen2Create, Screen2Update, Screen2Exit);
MMIRegisterScreen(SCREENID_3, Screen3Enter, Screen3Create, Screen3Update, Screen3Exit);
My problem is that when i debug i end up with 4 error messages as the Screen3Enter, Screen3Create , Screen3Update and Screen3Exit are not declared
This is strange as in the screen3.cpp the functions here above are declared the same way they are declared for the other screen i copied from
void Screen3Enter(void)
{
}
void Screen3Create(void)
{
Thanks for your suggestions

No one here can guess what this code is doing, or what it is supposed to do. And trying to learn C++ by modifying someone else's code is not a great idea.

OK thanks but i have no time to learn from scratch
I have an existing code doing more or less what i expect on the displays and am trying to make it look how i want.

Then you are going to need a lot of luck, and will probably get very frustrated. Looking at the few lines of code you did show suggests that it is a Windows GUI application, so that is another subject you will need to learn.

You have to find where
Screen2Enter, Screen2Create, Screen2Update, Screen2Exit are declared (and where they are defined) and do something similar to what you've already done: make the brand new
Screen3Enter, Screen3Create, Screen3Update, Screen3Exit copying and renaming. Unfortunately the process could go on deeper and deeper.

Thanks
the functions are defined in the script of the screen
I am wondering if they should be declared somewhere else ?
void Screen3Enter(void)
{
}
void Screen3Create(void)
{
// Setup default keys
ScreensSetupDefaultKeys();

In C++ there is no script. There are, instead, header files (*.h) and source files (usually *.cpp or *.cc). You should put the function declarations, e.g.
void Screen3Enter(); in header files, while the function definitions, e.g.
void Screen3Enter()
{
}should be written in source files.

Thanks
i already have these declarations inside screens3.cpp
void Screen3Enter(void)
void Screen3Create(void)
void Screen3Update(void)
void Screen3Exit(void)
when i am inside screens3.cpp there is a "No issues found" message at the bottom of the screen
but when i launch the simulation i have these 4 error messages
C2065 'Screen3Enter' undeclared identifier from the screens.cpp source referring to the following line
MMIRegisterScreen(SCREENID_3, Screen3Enter, Screen3Create, Screen3Update, Screen3Exit);
Thanks for trying to help me

Put those declarations inside the screens3.h header file. For instance:
#ifndef _SCREENS3_
#define _SCREENS3_
void Screen3Enter(void);
void Screen3Create(void);
void Screen3Update(void);
void Screen3Exit(void);
#endif
then put
#include "screens3.h" in every source file that needs them (e.g. screens.cpp)
"In testa che avete, Signor di Ceprano?"

I added #include "screens3.h" in different source files although it was not for the other screens
When i launched the simulator there was an error message saying "cannot open source file screen3.h"
I tried to retype MMIRegisterScreen instead of copying it and when i started to type the first function (screen3Enter) it proposed different functions to me but none for the screen 3 although they qre declared inside the screen3.cpp
I deleted the screen3Enter function and retyped it hoping to see it appear in the list of proposed functions for the MMURefusterScreen but still it was not in the list

Quote: I added #include "screens3.h" in different source
Quote: there was an error message saying "cannot open source file screen3.h"
can you spot the difference?

yes
i removed the s from screens3 but no change
finally what i did is modify a fourth screen already programmed with a gauge to benefit from the declarations and it works..
I still do not understand why it did not work with my screen.
Thanks for your help !
