Trapping messages for Dynamic Combobox
Posted on 2000-03-13
I have created N number of combo box's dynamically, but didn't derive my own ccombobox class. I am not sure how to trap the messages for the individual combo box's that I might have created. Do I have to derive my own class off of CComboBox to do this? or can I trap them somehow in pre-translate message.

You can listen to many of the messages for the individual combo boxes through the message map of the dialog (the one containing the combo boxes).
Have a look at all the ON_CBN_ macros in MSDN.
ON_CBN_CLOSEUP( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( )
ON_CBN_DBLCLK( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_DROPDOWN( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_EDITCHANGE( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_EDITUPDATE( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_ERRSPACE( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_KILLFOCUS( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_SELCHANGE( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_SELENDCANCEL( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_SELENDOK( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );
ON_CBN_SETFOCUS( <id>, <memberFxn> ) afx_msg void memberFxn( );

What I think you really want is ON_COMMAND_RANGE(). Otherwise, you'll have to code an ON_CBN_SOMETHING() for each and every one of your boxes, in addition to each and every message.
Is the list of comboboxes dynamic? That is, do you know how many you'll have at compile time, or not until runtime? If the list is dynamic, you'll need a different solution altogether.

I just noticed the 'dynamic' part of your question. Do you know the ID's of the combo boxes at compile time? If you do then my answer above should be fine. If not, then you will need to derive your own combo box class.
I do not know the ids at compile time... I can go derive the class, but I have no idea how/where to trap those messages within my combobox class(i.e. what functions to overload)
Here's one way to do it:
In your CCombobox derived class (CMyComboBox) add a method onSelChanged.
In your dialog class, override preTranslateMessage. If the message is CBN_SELCHANGE, get the window with the current focus, cast it to a CMyComboBox,
and call onSelChanged on it.
Do the same thing for the other messages you want to listen to.

Hi LabLord,
I guess you could have a range of ids for your dynamic comboBox. When you need to create a combobox, you could assign one of those value to your combobox.
Example:
Ids for 10 comboBox: range from 1000 to 1009.
First comboBox id: 1000
2nd.. 1001
...
Last.. 1009
And you can map the messages and take a look at those ids in oder to perform the actions.
Thinh.

Hi LabLord,
U can create Ur class, for example CMyComboBox : public CComboBox,
And override methods OnSelchange, OnDropdown ..., by following way:
void CMyComboBox::OnSelchange()
{
//wParam contain action code (for example OnSelchange = 0, OnDropdown = 1, etc)
//lParam contain pointer to CMyComboBox
GetParent()->SendMessage(W
}
void CMyComboBox::OnDropdown()
{
//wParam contain action code (for example OnSelchange = 0, OnDropdown = 1, etc)
//lParam contain pointer to CMyComboBox
GetParent()->SendMessage(W
}
//...
....And in Ur dialog class add:
BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyCombo
//...
ON_MESSAGE(WM_USER+0x100, OnCBChange)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()
//...
void CMyDlg::OnCBChange(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
//Get pointer to ComboBox witch send this messge
CMyComboBox *cb = (CMyComboBox *)(DWORD)lParam;
//Get Action code
int nActionCode = wParam;
//cb - pointer to combobox
swich (nActionCode) {
case 0: //Handle OnSelchange for "cb"
break;
case 1: //Handle OnDropdown for "cb"
break;
}
}
....and in *Dlg*.h file add:
//{{AFX_MSG(CCallRoutingMa
//...
afx_msg void OnCBChange(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
//}}AFX_MSG
Hope that helps,
