I'm working on building Utility program for a MUD to simplify coding. Currently, I'm trying to use an MFC application, with Doc/View Arch. My trouble comes from getting information from the view(more specifically, a tree dialog) back to the document. I know I can use MyDoc* pDoc = GetDocument(); to get the document object, but I can't think of a way to collate the tree with the information in the document. (ie: Is there a way to get an id#, or text, or some kind of identifier from the selected HTREEITEM in the tree?) Any help would be /greatly/ appreciated. TrickHat

I generally use SetItemData to set the item data of the tree elements to the corresponding data pointer for the information of that node. Then when I call GetSelectedItem and GetItemData on the returned selection, I can correlate it with the data pointer in the document.

You can also GetItemText on the returned GetSelectedItem, if you just want the text.

This has something approaching zero to do with VC6...

Anyway, Get/SetItemData is the usual thing to do with Win32 controls in general. If you don't want to do that for some reason you can always just create a map, e.g. std::map<HTREEITEM, id/text/whatever>.

Thanks both.

Another question...I wish to use tab controls in the dialogs for this utility, though I've never used them before. Is there any good sites that explain how to use these controls you know of?

Thanks again, TrickHat
