Functions for Buttons and Menus

[mpsoutine]

Hi,

I have a button and menu item that carry out the same procedure. My question is the proper way to code for this. Currently I have two seperate functions OnEdit()for the button Edit and OnEditPerson() for the menu item Edit. Is this the acceptable way to code. Both functions are in my View class.

Thanks,

Matthew

Assuming you're using MFC, if you have a resource ID for the button and the menu item, you can use the ON_COMMAND and ON_BN_CLICKED macros in your class's message map.

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CYourClass, CView)
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDNUMOFBUTTON, OnDoThis)
ON_COMMAND(IDNUMOFYOURMENUITEM, OnDoThis)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

In the .h file:
void OnDoThis(void);

In the .cpp file:
void OnDoThis(void)
{
//Put your common code here
}
