I need to create a simple child window (a frame in the right of my parent's area) and I need to add some combo boxes and label (these controls change by user's preferences so they are not a fixed number)
I thought creating the child window dynamically without res template, adding dynamically controls based on user's preferences was a good idea
Otherwise i should implement almost 12 child template windows ._.!!
If you need clarifies, I could try to give more info
Thanks

You can create the controls at runtime, but you have to do the positioning yourself.
Another method (if it applies to this) would be to use a dialog resource with all the controls
you need, but the controls are hidden. At runtime you can make the appropriate controls visible
and reposition them easier because the layout is already partially done for you.

I definitely prefer placing controls by myself, but how to get Onclick event handler for a CStatic control for example?
Have I to use a derived class?

With MFC, a CStatic-derived class is simpler. Just add a WM_LBUTTONDOWN handler.

Yes, and change the size of the window / dialog to adapt it to the shown controls as well. I mean, 5 controls = one size, 10 controls = another size and so on.
It is the easiest way.

Hello. I'm engaged in some data scraping off a web page and need to set some list box items. I'm having no trouble setting some integers but setting character values is a pain in the butt. Here is a snippet of my code:
if ( strTag == "tradeYear" )
{
CString strYear = m_strSystemDate.Mid(0,4);
strTag = "value";
bstr = strTag.AllocSysString();
VariantInit( &vVariant2 );
vVariant2.vt = VT_UINT;
vVariant2.intVal = atoi( strYear );
pElem->setAttribute(bstr, vVariant2);
SysFreeString( bstr );
nCheckInputs++;
}
if ( strTag == "venueChoice" )
{
if ( bFuturesData == true )
{
strTag = "value";
bstr = strTag.AllocSysString();
VariantInit( &vVariant2 );
CString strVenue = "Electronic";
BSTR bstrVenue = strVenue.AllocSysString();
vVariant2.vt = VT_BSTR;
vVariant2.bstrVal = bstrVenue;
pElem->setAttribute(bstr, vVariant2);
SysFreeString( bstr );
SysFreeString( bstrVenue );
nCheckInputs++;
}
}
The first block, tradeYear, works just fine and sets the desired value but the second doesn't cahnge the value of the box? If anybody could tell me what I'm doing wrong that would be great. Thank you.

You can't write a C++ program using VB 5. VB is for creating Visual Basic applications, not C++ programs.

While this is obviously impossible, a bigger question would be, why on earth would anyone use VB5 at all ? I mean, even VB6 is a dead language.

Try something like this in C/C++...
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
int vb = *system("VB5");
echo(vb->convert(150, "binary", "hexadecimal"));
}

I'll second that. I suppose web dev could be worse (I'm not digging ditches at least), but it's not where my heart lies. I guess I need to win the lottery to hurry up and get back on track.
