Dialog Bar- Updating Edit Boxes, etc.

[Southerland]

Hello All!

I am having difficulty getting the controls to work in the Dialog Bar. I cannot get Buttons enabled and I cannot update data/text to edit boxes like you would normally be able to with a regular old Dialog Box.. What am I missing??? Why is the Dialog Bar not processing any messages to or from the controls?? Can anyone Help?

Much obliged,

Tim Southerland

You have to handle the buttons in your View class (who knows why). I have button handlers

void CMyView::OnButton1()
{
OnAllButtons(1);
}

I also update a listbox by

CMainFrame *pFrame = (CMainFrame *) AfxGetApp()->m_pMainWnd;
CDialogBar *pBar = &pFrame->m_wndFkeyBar;
CListBox *pLB = (CListBox*) pBar->GetDlgItem(IDC_REPORT_BOX);

and then using it as normal
Presumably edit boxes should be somewhat similar ;-)

Hey Ed..
Thanks for your response, I appreciate your input! I have a question though.. Where does the function

OnAllButtons(1);



come from? Is it a member function of one of the classes or is it something I need implement myself.. I did a search on it in Visual C++ 5.0 but could not find it.. I appreciate your help!

Thanks
Tim
