Thanks! Can you post the code from the resource (rc) file for the dialog resource?
That's where the control styles are.
I'm curious because I can't get a caret to appear in a listbox.

Just what I needed, thanks!
 I've never seen that before. I had to look real close to see the caret.
For me, the caret blinks once and goes away (I'm on XP Pro SP2).
I removed the SORT style (set the Sort property to false in the resource editor) from the listbox
control and I don't see the caret now.
I'll look at it more in a bit...

Thanks Mark.
Strange I also do not see the caret if I set the SORT style to false !!
I am also on WinXP Pro SP2 and it goes for me also with in a second. But I had hard time explaining to my usability team about the caret stuff, they are bit rigid on it not appearing at all. And since I also do not know the reason for the caret to appear I thought of creating a seprate project and try to solve the issue and it seems a bit overkill to go for ownerdraw listbox for this issue
But after trying for sometime without luck I had posted it here. Anyways I now have partial solution and till I do not find a proper solution/reason I can set the listbox SORT style to false, sort the items externally and add it to the list.
Regards

The docs for the control mention the caret but I think it's silly on a control that you can't
enter text
WM_SETFOCUS Turns the caret on and sends an LBN_SETFOCUS notification message to the owner of the
list box.
WM_KILLFOCUS Turns the caret off and destroys it. Sends an LBN_KILLFOCUS notification message to
the owner of the list box.
WM_KEYDOWN Processes virtual keys for scrolling. The virtual key is the index of the item to move
the caret to. The selection is not changed.
Cheers,
Mark

you have to use Rpcrt4.lib as stated in the Requirements section of the MSDN page.
(Menu Project->Settings, select the Link, add Rpcrt4.lib in the Object/Library modules textbox).

Hi everyone,
I am using OLEDB APIs (such as CTable, CDynamicAccessor etc) for retrieving data from a text file (say abc.txt).
The problem is while retrieving date value.
When date in "Regional and Language Options in Control Panel" is "M/d/yyyy" format, GetValue of CDynamicAccessor returns correct date value. If i change date format to "d/M/yyyy", GetValue returns NULL.
Can anyone tell me the reason for this behaviour?
Thanks

What format is the date value inside the text file?
The problem recognising D/M/Y versus M/D/Y is that there are a large number of values (where both M and D are <= 12) where it cannot be categorically determined which format is in use.
If the data driver you are using is expecting M/d/yyyy, then in theory you could call SetThreadLocale() while you do the retrieval, and set it back again afterwards, but there's no guarantee that it isn't using LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT or LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT, rather than calling GetThreadLocale() internally.

I am developing a multilingual software. In my software I can changed language to Arabic. So I install a "Arabic" input method. When I tried to input Arabic in one of my CEdit control, the CEdit didn't accept Arabic.
It seems OK, if I type Arabic here.
Arabic: سيبسايبعهصقثعخرتؤمترهقفثتمبتخشهقثهعخ
Is there any special property of CEdit that I need to set? Expect somebody could help me solve this problem.

Why you dont use of CRichEdit?
|

create a font using arabic character set and set the font to the edit box. then u can display the arabic font in editbox.

I think we have a little problem if he creates a font for editbox it will be work but if he runs his program on the a computer that has arabic language for OS so I think he will be problem.

Please check whether you have enabled this option
control panel->Regional and Language Settings-> Language Tab-> Tick the check box "Install files for East Asian languages"
|
|
|
|
|
1. Have you enabled this language on your computer at first place? (Internet explorer/FF has it inbuilt)
2. If 1 is done, then is your application Unicode?
3. If 2 is true, then what do you mean by your CEdit control did not accept Arabic?
Anything I will say you will bring it down to whatever you want.

1.What do you mean "enabled this language"?
I have add "Arabic language" & "Arabic input method" in "Console Panel->Regional Options". Is it OK?
2.How to see whether my application is unicode?

That's it. Now, are you able to type in Arabic language in notepad?
Peter, Chan wrote: 2.How to see whether my application is unicode?
I am asking if you've done an ANSI build or an Unicode build of your application. What happens when you type Arabic in the application that you built? Do you see question marks to appear instead of Arabic?
