spin controls in dialogs

Intel_C_Intel · ‎05-18-2003

hi,
i coded a nice spin control dialog example here. but i have a problem. i couldnt stop the spin values when they come to max range or min range. you will see it. they exceed the value i assigned...
thank you

hi,

i am still trying to slove the problem. but no success:( whenever i put a remark on "set buddy integer" in the style menu of spin controls it works fine. but step is 1. i dont want this. as i remember Jugoslov had told me to add logic to check min/max value. what does that mean? i couldnt teach the spin control to stop when it comes to the min/max value. how can i do that?

thank you...

"Set buddy integer" style means that "buddy" edit control is set to accept only integers; you don't want that, as Windows "doesn't know" about real numbers.

What I meant is to simply add validation logic before filling in the edit box, i.e. insert:

pos = min(10., max(0., pos))
write(text, "(f6.2)") pos

Since your edit boxes are not read-only, it would be a good idea to add some validation code in case user types in the number. You could add a LOSEFOCUS callback to edit box to verify whether the number is correct and within range:

i = DlgSetSub(Dlg, IDC_EDIT1, OnEdit1, DLG_LOSEFOCUS)
...
subroutine OnEdit1(Dlg, id, iEvent)
...
real:: pos
character(20):: text
i = DlgGet(Dlg, id, Text, DLG_STATE)
read(Text,*,iostat = iErr) pos
if (iErr.ne.0) then
   !The number is invalid. Do some kind of error handling:
   i = DlgSet(Dlg, id, "0.")
else
   !Check if it's within range
   pos = max(pos, 0.)
   pos = min(pos, 10.)
   write(text, "(f6.2)") pos   
   status = DlgSet(dlg, IDC_EDIT1, adjustl(text))
end if
