In other words, you want your homework done? No, we don't do that here.

AddString() in ListBox

I one of my sample applcaiton,I hav changed the combobox in to Listbox,
After that i got in piece of code.

CAlarmCombo *pSysBox = (CAlarmCombo *)((CMainFrame *)AfxGetMainWnd())->m_SysWnd.GetDlgItem(IDC_SYSALARM);
if(pSysBox)
{
pSysBox->EnableWindow(TRUE);
if( pSysBox->GetCount() < 5 )
pSysBox->AddString((LPCTSTR)RGB(255,0,0));
}
The code is working fine with CComboBox.

The error comes in that bolded line as some USER32.dll unhandled exception.

What is the string you're trying to add?
RGB(255, 0, 0) is not a valid string.
pSysBox->AddString(_T("RED")); would be the correct way to do this.

You are trying to type cast RGB(255, 0, 0) to a string. This casting is wrong. What are you trying to display on the list?

Actually it displaying kind of test like

BT001 BTcomments LL

Like this it will print in the COmboBOx.
What i did is..I want ListBox,so replaced the combobox with ListBox,and i use the ID of Combobox in to Listbox.
But with the ComBoBOx it works fine.

The string gets added in function
void CAlarmCombo::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDIS)
{
.
.
.
CString sAlrm = _T("");
sAlrm.Format("%-16s %-25s %-4s",pTagBase->GetTagName(),pTagBase->GetDescription(),pAlrmDisp->sStatus);
pDC->TextOut(25,lpDIS->rcItem.top + 1,sAlrm)
}

Even i couldnot understand what that AddString() doing.
But how it works perfect in using COmboBox.

In the expression

pSysBox->AddString((LPCTSTR)RGB(255,0,0));

You're casting to a const TCHAR * a temporary DWORD value, that plainly makes no sense...

The RGB[^] macro returns a COLORREF[^]. You're forcing the compiler away from complaining about this by cleverly casting the COLORREF value to an LPCTSTR. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

If you want to add the string as it is, then try

pSysBox->AddString(_T("RGB(255,0,0)"));

Do you know what an RGB value is? Hint: it can't be converted to a LPCTSTR by casting it.

CString str2 = str.Left(12);

Or

In Visual C++ 6.0 I have two ActiveX control project. One ActiveX control is dependent on another ActiveX control. For that First Project is compiled succesfully and then in second project we used Project->Add To Project->Components and Controls-> then point to compiled first project ActiveX control.
Then It will insert .h and .cpp files to Second Project.

The same how to do in Visual Studio 2008. Please help regarding this
