Combobox

YaelS

Hi,

1) Combobox:

I'm working with VS 03, why I can't see "Properties" like here

http://www.codeproject.com/combobox/combobox_tut.asp

I want to add items for a combobox control but the "Data" is in gray color (disable).

And I have to create CMyCombobox object to get the selected item

2) CListCtrl:

How can I set Items like this:

list.InsertItem(row, col, item);

How can I get selected row from this list (in java I used with JTable.. )

3) Date format:

How can I format this string: 02-02-2007 00:00:00 to: 02/03/2007

Thanking you in anticipation

Yael.

Hi,

If u would like to add data to combo at the design time itself,go to it's properties,select 'Data' Column,Enter items string like 'one;two;three'.If u run , u will see one,two,three items are added to combo box.

To add strings ,at run time, add member variable for this combo and use either AddString or InsertString methods.

or u can use Win32 SendMessage(LB_ADDSTRING) to add strings to combo box.

about the string' I's working good now, but I want to change this from 2007/03/02 to 02/03/2007

For this following code will convert the date as requested.I don't know,there may be standard functions available.

CString strDate="2007/03/02"; CArray<CString,CString> lst; int nPos = 0; lst.Add(strDate.Tokenize(_T("/"),nPos)); while(nPos>0) { lst.Add(strDate.Tokenize(_T("/"),nPos)); } strDate.Empty(); for(int index = lst.GetCount()-1;index>=0;index--) { if(((CString)lst[index]).Trim().GetLength() >0) { strDate += lst[index]; if(index)strDate +=_T("/"); } } lst.RemoveAll();

Thanx,

1) If u would like to add data to combo at the design time itself,go to it's properties,select 'Data' Column

Yes' this is what I want, but this Data column is in "disable" status (gray color), so I can write there strings..

the dialog Messages empty, I can' t see the regular look..maybe It's connected to this problem to.

2) I'm thinking maybe it will be better to take this date/time column from the database as date and not as string, then format this something like:

CString strDate;
taskDate;

rs.GetFieldValue("task_date",taskDate);
strDate = taskDate.Format(_T("%d/ %m/ %Y"));

my problem is, How to define taskDate

It seems that it's problem with IDE or control or control properties.Check control properties once.If the problem is not because of properites,delete that combo, add a new one.If the problem still persists, close the ide,restart.Adding new combo should solve the problem.If not,it indicates that there is some problem with the IDE.

CString strDate;
taskDate;

rs.GetFieldValue("task_date",taskDate);
strDate = taskDate.Format(_T("%d/ %m/ %Y"));

thanks, with a date I succeed!!!

CDBVariant value;

CTime time(value.m_pdate->year,value.m_pdate->month,value.m_pdate->day,value.m_pdate->hour,value.m_pdate->minute,value.m_pdate->second);

CString sDate = time.Format(_T("%d/%m/%Y"));

I tried all your advice, but it's still don't work.

but it's weird because in another project I have all these. (combobox data & dialog message).

I created a new dialog in my project, add a combo, and I get the data column in disable (and the dialog message is empty panel).

I created new dialog in the "another project " that I coppy with combobox example and the new combobox have the data column, but the dialog don't have message..maybe it's definition topic

sorry about all my questions
