Ok, I'm using wtl. I'm trying to get the combo box to respond when I press enter and pass the information in the combo box to the appropriate function for processing.
I'm using CComboBox and the following MSG_MAP:
COMMAND_HANDLER_EX(IDC_ADDRESSBAR, CBN_SELENDOK, GoNavAddressBar)
It doesn't work though. All I get is a "ding" when I press enter.
If anyone could give me some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it, as I'm new to windows programming.
Later,
Paul
I'm not going to remove your kneecaps here because you showed intelligence in going for WTL rather than MFC :)
However, it's still a much better idea to learn the API first (see the FAQ for links).
Parksie your just plain mean since you lost your Throbbing Member :rolleyes:
I'm very mean ;) However, I fail to see the point of using a template or class library to simplify doing something you don't already know how to do yourself.
For example, I didn't understand the STL list class, so I decided to write my own because I didn't like their method of using iterators. Fair enough, I got a nice little template going - worked nicely, and was faster than theirs. Cue smug expression, until I tried to use it for something useful. Dangling pointers all round, so I thought "okay, how about a small utility class to navigate through it"...at that point the penny dropped...iterators :D
At that point I went back to the list class and it was all clear to me.
I know this isn't about the STL, but you see my point on understanding what you're ignoring.
:) I wasnt disagreeing with your point of view, because I think you are right. Not having that basic knowledge is really the wrong thing to do.
I was just stating your mean lately
Oh ok :) It's called being bored out of my skull having finished school and not starting work until September.
