Hi, all..

i'm now using Visual c++ in Visual Studio 2005 for my project. i faced problem in getting other tab value in main tab ..Below are details of my problem.
In the main tab control(CTabDialogControl), i have another sub tab namely CTabFourthDialog

inside CTabFourthDialog, have a editControl namely "IDC_EDITMCNO"

Code:

DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_EDITMCNO, m_McNo)

>> this is the edit control in CTabFourthDialog.
When i retrieved value from IDC_EDITMCNO within CTabFourthDialog, below statement can work properly:

Code:

CString sMachNo;
m_McNo.GetWindowText(sMachNo);

but when i trying to retrieve the value IDC_EDITMCNO from CTabFourthDialo in CTabDialogControl , it return me a error. below shown the code i wrote in CTabDialogControl.

Code:

 CString sMachNo;
CTabFourthDialog::m_McNo.GetWindowText(sMachNo)

and i getting this error when compile the program.

Quote:

Error1 error C2228: left of '.GetWindowTextA' must have class/struct/union.

Please guide me to solve this problme..
Your help i will very appreciate..
Thanks very much

Regards
Alice

CPP / C++ / C Code:

CString sMachNo;
CTabFourthDialog::m_McNo.GetWindowText(sMachNo)

This statement would imply that m_McNo is a static variable. My guess is that it is a member variable so you would access it from the object that holds it. I do not know the name of the object you are using but here is an example:

CPP / C++ / C Code:

CTabFourthDialog* pDlg = new CTabFourthDialog();
//...
pDlg->m_McNo.GetWindowText(sMachNo);

You will also need to make sure that m_McNo is a "public" variable.

Hello, thanks for reply me post..

CPP / C++ / C Code:

CTabFourthDialog* pDlg = new CTabFourthDialog();
//...
pDlg->m_McNo.GetWindowText(sMachNo);

this code still cannot function in my program..

IDD_MACHINE is my fourth dialog ID while the CTabFourthDialog is this tab class name.. and IDD_EDITMCNO is a edit control in this tab, IDD_EDITMCNO passing value to a variable called m_McNo.

erm...can u help me for more?
i will very appreciate ..
thanks you very much ^^

Please help me understand this. Explain in detail (with data types and names of objects) what you have and what you would like to accomplish.

For example:

Code:

I have a CDialog* object named AAA. 
AAA has a CTabCtrl* object named BBB. 
BBB has two pages of data type TTT called DDD and EEE. 
I would like to be able to access...
