I'd put all the controls you needed onto the page at design time and hide/show them at run time.

I believe a form view is a normal window that uses a dialog template. It's probably the way to go, to get a scrolling dialog. You'd actually create an SDI project and use CFormView, then lay out the dialog on the form.

I recommend using a table view (i.e. a CListCtrl control with editable fields) to provide the same functionality. There's ample sample code @ CP to help you do this.

ok, thanks for answers Smile | :)

I have finally chosen to use an option tree control: http://www.codeproject.com/treectrl/coptiontree.asp
This is a very cool and good looking library (maybe still needs some debug but is almost ok).
Thanks again

Need help with storing information into arrays

My neighbours think I am crazy - but they don't know that I have a trampoline. All they see my head bobbing up and down over the fence every five seconds

I need to first of all read a line of a file until a newling or '\n'. I would then store that to a string and put it into the first element in the array, then I will turn the previous string to empty then read the line until another newline '\n' and store that line to a string which will be stored at the next array element. I know that I have to allocate the array since I don't know how much lines will be in the array, could be hundreds to thousands of elements but I need to do this in win32. I will do the storing into the array elements until the end of the file is reached. I will be very happy if someone could help me, I so far have the following code:

int *p;<br />
		int uc = 0;<br />
		string all;<br />
		cout <<"has something in it\n";<br />
		try<br />
		{<br />
			p = new int;<br />
		}<br />
		catch(bad_alloc xa)<br />
		{<br />
			cout << "Allocation Failure\n";<br />
			exit(1);<br />
		}<br />
		do<br />
		{<br />
			all = null;<br />
			do<br />
			{<br />
				all = all + data.get();				<br />
			} while(data.get != '\n');<br />
			p[uc] = all;<br />
			uc++;<br />
		} while(data);<br />
		delete []p;

Please help me, I would appreciate it if someone can make a similair but simpler program like this or help me with this or even an article about this if anyone know something like this. Smile | :)

Why not use a vector ? Why does it matter that you need to do it in Win32 ? Then use getline() to read the file.

I don't know how to use vectors and I have to do it in win32 is because I already started on a project with it and I can't go back and change its type... it would take too long. I also don't know how to use getline(). Confused | :confused:

What I asked is why does it *matter* that you're using Win32 ? The Microsoft libraries sit on top of the C++ language and should only be your first port of call if you're trying to do something OS specific, like throw up a window. Stuff C++ doesn't support.

I have articles on this site on both, use the search box above.

Ok I think I know how I'm going to do this, first if I find the getline() function and how it works I will get the line store it to first element and then on and on until the end of file is reached. I will then use a sort to sort the big list.

Christian Graus9-Dec-03 12:46

Yes, exactly. One benefit of the STL is you get your sorting algorithms for free.

Thankyou very much, I don't use the stl alot to none but I think you made me 'cross over' Poke tongue | ;-P

I need one more thing, I can't seem to find the getline function anywhere, can you tell me in which subtitle it is located in, like files or c++/mfc or whatever...

The MSDN is hopeless for C++ information. Try google.

#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>

What do those headers mean

Christian Graus10-Dec-03 8:55

vector contains the dynamic array vector class. algorithm contains all the algorithms that work on STL containers ( well, most of them ), and functional contains stuff you need to write your own function objects ( from memory ).
