I have a dialog w/ multiple text fields, etc.

I want to populate the values.. but they are not initializing:

CDlgFixture dlgFixt;
dlgFixt.m_strFixtType.SetWindowText(strCkt); // a CEdit control

dlgFixt.m_cmbFixtureBlock.SetWindowText(temp); //a CComboBox ctrl

dlgFixt.UpdateData(false) // fails - unsupported operation?

dlgFixt.DoModal(); // shows, but w/o my values initialized.

??

Thanks,
MS

Before declaring your instance of the dialog, add this line of code

CAcModuleResourceOverride resover;

The proper resources are not set, so the wrong dialog is being used, and
that control doesn't exist in that dialog hence the unsupported operation.

Besides that you have to override the resource handle, it might also be the
call to
UpdateData(FALSE) before DoModal(). Before DoModal the Dialog is not
created, so there are no controls accessible.

It is the later... I need to do my initialization in OnInit, not prior to
calling DoModal.

You can't set properties of controls before their windows have been
created. You'll need to either call CDialog::Create() manually (and handle
the dialog as a modeless dialog) before initializing controls, or do your
initializing in OnInitDialog(). The latter is simplest in most cases. 🙂
