display text in the edit box during the excution of program

Greg Ch #1 / 5	display text in the edit box during the excution of program I am working on a communication program, and I want to see the status displayed for every step. ex. step 1 - try to connect step 2 - try to send step 3- try to receive I want to display a text box to show results of step1, 2, 3 So I created a edit text field on a dialog box. and I used UpdataData(0) during each step, trying to show the status, but it only showing the step 3. Any clue of how to implement what I want? Thanks!

Ajay Kalr #4 / 5	display text in the edit box during the excution of program If I understand correctly, you want it to show "Connect", "Send", and then "Receive" in succession. Its very likely that the whole thing is so quick that all this happens, but you just dont notice it. If this is the case, you may want to show a log instead, something like a listbox would be more appropriate. -- Ajay Kalra [MVP - VC++] Quote: > The problem is only display the last text displayed. > I want it to refresh so I can see all of them. > Thanks! > >-----Original Message----- > >Another simple way is to use SetWindowText: > >pEdit->SetWindowText(_T > ("WhatEverTextYouWantToDisplay")); // You can get > >pEdit using GetDlgItem(). > >-- > >Ajay Kalra [MVP - VC++] > >> I am working on a communication program, and I want to > see > >> the status displayed for every step. > >> ex. > >> step 1 - try to connect > >> step 2 - try to send > >> step 3- try to receive > >> I want to display a text box to show results of step1, > 2, > >> 3 > >> So I created a edit text field on a dialog box. > >> and I used UpdataData(0) during each step, trying to > show > >> the status, but it only showing the step 3. > >> Any clue of how to implement what I want? > >> Thanks! > >.

Do you return to MFC after the UpdateData? If you don't then the screen will not refresh. If you are doing all these communication steps without ever returning to MFC (which means you are blocking the GUI) then your design approach is wrong for a Windows program. But if you call the text box's UpdateWindow() after UpdateData() the text box object will refresh immediately, during the UpdateWindow() call. -- Scott McPhillips [VC++ MVP]
