Data binding on controls in VC++ 6.0

[edifreak]

Hello all,

I would like to know whether it is possible to bind a control (say textbox) by right clicking on the control and selecting the data source in their properties section?
Can this be done in VC++ enterprise edition or does it have to be manually coded using the void BindProperty( DISPID dwDispID, CWnd * pWndDSC );

Thanks

Well...a textbox (called CEdit in MFC) has no such property.

So the answer is no - you have to code it.

thanks for the tip Per. How about list control and combox boxes? i don't see a property where i can set the data source to be the ADO control?!? do i have to hard code that too?

Yeah, but hard coding it isn't all that hard really.

Hard to say exactly what's best for you since I don't know much about your application.

If you're starting from scratch you can let the AppWizard aid you with connecting to ODBC source etc.

New->MFC AppWizard(exe)->SDI or MDI->Database with/without file support etc

Search the MSDN...
