ok thanks<br />
i've already found a easier way, just by passing the control id to the function :)

alright, your question made me think that you have to pass the string for some reason. that's why i posted the comment about map.<br />
<br />
good luck

Hello<br />
<br />
I got a little routine for checking a date field.<br />
Now i want to automatically set the focus to that field by using f.e:<br />
<br />
(where EF_DATUMINDIENST is the name of the text field)<br />
(GetDlgItem(EF_DATUMINDIEN<wbr />ST))-&gt;SetF<wbr />ocus();<br />
<br />
but my idea was of making a function with as param. the name of that text field.<br />
<br />
now i set for example a <br />
CString fieldname = &quot;EF_DATUMINDIENST&quot;<br />
and i call the routine here:<br />
DoChecksAndSetFocusAt(fiel<wbr />dname);<br />
<br />
but in the routine &quot;DoChecksAndSetFocusAt&quot;<br />
i can't set focus on that control becz it believes it is a CString text<br />
<br />
fieldname = result;<br />
UpdateData(FALSE);<br />
<br />
This of course doesn't work .. but i have no idea of how to make it work &nbsp;:(<br />
So i want to access the text field correctly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Can anyone help me?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Text field access in another function

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
