Visual C++ Question

I am in the process of learning C++ and I can't seem to figure this out.

I apologize if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find anything about this using the forum's search feature.

Anyways I am making a program, it has an explorer style interface, a tree view control on the left and a list view control on the right.

My question is how do I add/remove items in these controls, I can't seem to figure out how I edit the items in them.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks

What type of program is it? MFC or API?

With API you can just use SendMessage to the objects hWnd.
With MFC the objects should have an add and remove in their classess

I think it's MFC, I used the MFC Wizard to create the application.

Ok, then did you create your views on a form/dialog?
If you did then you should attach them to a class, using MFC Class Wizard

The reason you didn't find much in your search is because this is a C++ forum, not MFC :p

Once you've put the controls onto the dialogue using the resource editor, right click on it and choose "Class Wizard".

What's the difference between MFC and C++, I am rather new to the whole thing.

MFC is kinda like VB (notice I said KINDA), where more things are graphically orientated, lots of functions and things are hidden and its built more around classes and modules. Where C++ (API) you do more things manually.

Have you done any normal C++ programming?

I have done a little DOS programming before, with COUT, CIN, etc.

Will MFC Code work on Macs too? It's a long story but I orginally developed this program in Visual Basic and then the Mac users wanted a Mac version, so I am learning C++ So I can write it in C++ and have someone port it over to the Mac.

I am pretty sure that MFC will not work with MACs. I believe that you could manually program something using API to work with MAC, but I have never done that before.

I looked up porting in the help file. It says I can port it to RISC processors by opening the workspace up on the kind of computer I want to port it to, is this for MFC too?

Visual C++ for Alpha and PowerPC is designed to be portable between both RISC platforms and Intel platforms. MFC is designed to make C++ code universal on all these platforms, and applications should port easily.

I dunno you are a bit out of my league on this. Try posting a new message about C++ and MACs and see if someone else has done this before. Parksie might know this one.

I tried using the insert command and now it says "Debug Assertion Failed"

This server is too busy is REALLY GETTING OLD :mad:

Any way, you were using the insert command for what?

This is the code I used after making a class for it using the class wizard :

m_TreeLister.InsertItem("Hello World",IDC_MainFrame,IDC_MainFrame,TVI_ROOT,TVI_LAST);

What is IDC_MainFrame

It's an Icon

I fixed it, It was in the wrong procedure, it was in DoDataExchange, I meant for it to be in the form's OnINIT procedure.
