Dialog Data Exchange Functions for CRecordView and CDaoRecordView
This topic lists the DDX_Field functions used to exchange data between a CRecordset and a CRecordView form or a CDaoRecordset and a CDaoRecordView form. DAO is used with Access databases and is supported through Office 2013. DAO 3.6 is the final version, and it is considered obsolete.
Note
DDX_Field functions are like DDX functions in that they exchange data with controls in a form. But unlike DDX, they exchange data with the fields of the view's associated recordset object rather than with fields of the record view itself. For more information, see classes CRecordView and CDaoRecordView.
DDX_Field Functions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| DDX_FieldCBIndex | Transfers integer data between a recordset field data member and the index of the current selection in a combo box in a CRecordView or CDaoRecordView. |
| DDX_FieldCBString | Transfers CString data between a recordset field data member and the edit control of a combo box in a CRecordView or CDaoRecordView. When moving data from the recordset to the control, this function selects the item in the combo box that begins with the characters in the specified string. |
| DDX_FieldCBStringExact | Transfers CString data between a recordset field data member and the edit control of a combo box in a CRecordView or CDaoRecordView. When moving data from the recordset to the control, this function selects the item in the combo box that exactly matches the specified string. |
| DDX_FieldCheck | Transfers Boolean data between a recordset field data member and a check box in a CRecordView or CDaoRecordView. |
| DDX_FieldLBIndex | Transfers integer data between a recordset field data member and the index of the current selection in a list box in a CRecordView or CDaoRecordView. |
| DDX_FieldLBString | Manages the transfer of CString data between a list-box control and the field data members of a recordset. When moving data from the recordset to the control, this function selects the item in the list box that begins with the characters in the specified string. |
| DDX_FieldLBStringExact | Manages the transfer of CString data between a list-box control and the field data members of a recordset. When moving data from the recordset to the control, this function selects the first item that exactly matches the specified string. |
| DDX_FieldRadio | Transfers integer data between a recordset field data member and a group of radio buttons in a CRecordView or CDaoRecordView. |
| DDX_FieldScroll | Sets or gets the scroll position of a scroll bar control in a CRecordView or CDaoRecordView. Call from your DoFieldExchange function. |
| DDX_FieldSlider | Synchronizes the thumb position of a slider control in a record view and an int field data member of a recordset. |
| DDX_FieldText | Overloaded versions are available for transferring int, UINT, long, DWORD, CString, float, double, short, COleDateTime, and COleCurrency data between a recordset field data member and an edit box in a CRecordView or CDaoRecordView. |
DDX_FieldCBIndex
The DDX_FieldCBIndex function synchronizes the index of the selected item in the list box control of a combo box control in a record view and an int field data member of a recordset associated with the record view.
void AFXAPI DDX_FieldCBIndex(
CDataExchange* pDX,
int nIDC,
int& index,
CRecordset* pRecordset);
void AFXAPI DDX_FieldCBIndex(
CDataExchange* pDX,
int nIDC,
int& index,
CDaoRecordset* pRecordset);
Parameters
pDX
A pointer to a CDataExchange object. The framework supplies this object to establish the context of the data exchange, including its direction.
nIDC
The ID of a control in the CRecordView or CDaoRecordView object.
index
A reference to a field data member in the associated CRecordset or CDaoRecordset object.
pRecordset
A pointer to the CRecordset or CDaoRecordset object with which data is exchanged.
Remarks
When moving data from the recordset to the control, this function sets the selection in the control based on the value specified in index. On a transfer from the recordset to the control, if the recordset field is Null, MFC sets the value of the index to 0. On a transfer from control to recordset, if the control is empty or if no item is selected, the recordset field is set to 0.
Use the first version if you are working with the ODBC-based classes. Use the second version if you are working with the DAO-based classes.

DDX_FieldCBString
The DDX_FieldCBString function manages the transfer of CString data between the edit control of a combo box control in a record view and a CString field data member of a recordset associated with the record view.
void AFXAPI DDX_FieldCBString(
CDataExchange* pDX,
int nIDC,
CString& value,
CRecordset* pRecordset);
void AFXAPI DDX_FieldCBString(
CDataExchange* pDX,

value
A reference to a field data member in the associated CRecordset or CDaoRecordset object.
pRecordset
A pointer to the CRecordset or CDaoRecordset object with which data is exchanged.
Remarks
When moving data from the recordset to the control, this function sets the current selection in the combo box to the first row that begins with the characters in the string specified in value. On a transfer from the recordset to the control, if the recordset field is Null, any selection is removed from the combo box and the edit control of the combo box is set to empty. On a transfer from control to recordset, if the control is empty, the recordset field is set to Null if the field permits.
Use the first version if you are working with the ODBC-based classes. Use the second version if you are working with the DAO-based classes.

value
A reference to the value to be exchanged. This parameter holds or will be used to set the slider control's current thumb position.
pRecordset
A pointer to the associated CRecordset or CDaoRecordset object with which data is exchanged.
Remarks
When moving data from the recordset to the slider, this function sets the position of the slider to the value specified in value. On a transfer from the recordset to the control, if the recordset field is Null, the slider control's position is set to 0. On a transfer from the control to the recordset, if the control is empty, the value of the recordset field is 0.
DDX_FieldSlider does not exchange range information with slider controls capable of setting a range rather than simply a position.
Use the first override of the function if you are working with the ODBC-based classes. Use the second override with the DAO-based classes.

Parameters
pDX
A pointer to a CDataExchange object. The framework supplies this object to establish the context of the data exchange, including its direction.
nIDC
The ID of a control in the CRecordView or CDaoRecordView object.
value
A reference to a field data member in the associated CRecordset or CDaoRecordset object. The data type of value depends on which of the overloaded versions of DDX_FieldText you use.
pRecordset
A pointer to the CRecordset or CDaoRecordset object with which data is exchanged. This pointer enables DDX_FieldText to detect and set Null values.
Remarks
For CDaoRecordset objects, DDX_FieldText also manages transferring COleDateTime, and COleCurrency values. An empty edit box control indicates a Null value. On a transfer from the recordset to the control, if the recordset field is Null, the edit box is set to empty. On a transfer from control to recordset, if the control is empty, the recordset field is set to Null.
Use the versions with CRecordset parameters if you are working with the ODBC-based classes. Use the versions with CDaoRecordset parameters if you are working with the DAO-based classes.
For more information about DDX, see Dialog Data Exchange and Validation. For examples and more information about DDX for CRecordView and CDaoRecordView fields, see the article Record Views.
Example
The following DoDataExchange function for a CRecordView contains DDX_FieldText function calls for three data types: IDC_COURSELIST is a combo box; the other two controls are edit boxes. For DAO programming, the m_pSet parameter is a pointer to a CRecordset or CDaoRecordset.
void CMyDaoRecordView::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
CDaoRecordView::DoDataExchange(pDX);
DDX_FieldCBString(pDX, IDC_LASTNAME, m_pSet->m_LastName, m_pSet);
