No, but i have added
DDV_MaxChars(pDX, m_str, 20000);
but all that will do it put a limit on what they can enter into the editbox
any ideas ???

So how do you know that all of the data from the edit control is not being transfered? Have you considered just using the edit control's GetWindowText() method instead? Used incorrectly, UpdateData() can hinder more than it helps.

"then when OnOK is called i just do an UpdateData to capture the text, but it doesnt capture all of it " -- before this all seem to be ok, but here ??
I also entered now in edit box about 4000 symbols, without marking in edit box ("Multiline", and such things), and it worked well ???
Try adding to your editbox CEdit value , and then get text with GetWindowText() function maybe it can help??
anyway i can't understand what kind of problem you have

CString is big enough and in fact a lot lot bigger than enough. It's got a 2 GB character limit.

A better question is how do you know that the CString isn't getting all of the text? The problem may not be the CString, but how you are viewing the result.

Thanks, i had realised this earlier when i was debugging
i didnt realise that not all of the strings contents were being displayed
when i watched that variable
i just assumed that the watch value was the whole value
thanks anyway

hehehe that's exactly where I was going. I've been stung by that one before too, unitl I realized what was going on.

Not sure if this is a VB question or not, but I'll post it here anyway.
I've written an activeX control which uses a mutex to protect a critical section part of my code, I use CreateMutex and OpenMutex to create/open the mutex, then waitForSingleObject to grab it, ReleaseMutex to release it.
If I stick this activeX control on a VB form, and create an .exe from the form. I can open as many of the exe's as I like and the mutex is only opened by one of the exe's at a time.
However when I put multiple ActiveX controls on the one form, create an exe from that. When I run this single exe, the multiple controls can open the mutex at the same time, and run the critical section code simultaneously. Is this beacuse all the controls are running from the same thread?
How can I get round this? I want my code protected but can I do this with having the controls on the same form?

You may not need to use a mutex. How about just jacketing the critical section part of your code with a static CCriticalSection?

Do you mean using the Lock & Unlock methods of CCriticalSection? I've never used it before, had look at MSDN and tried the following:
I created a static CCriticalSection object and called Lock / Unlock to protect my critical section of code, but it has the same effect as the mutex, all the controls the critical code at the same time.

Did you use a static CCriticalSection? (You should).

Yes, I declared it as static.
It didn't seem to work when the Lock() was called, Stepped through the code it just incremented the CCriticalSection member m_sect.LockCount each time the Lock() was called for each of the controls, it didn't prevent any of the controls from entering the protected code.
All I done was call Lock() and Unlock() before and after my protected code. I've never used CCriticalSection before. Have I missed out some initialisation step?

Yes, that's all you need to do. Odd it doesn't block multiple threads.  It works fine for me.

I've realised why the CCriticalSection doesn't work.
I think all my controls belong to the same thread since they are all on the same form. CCriticalSection only allows one thread at a time access to the critical section. This is no good for me since they all are on the same thread.
Using Semaphores don't work either as a thread will block while waiting for a seamphore to become available, however this is the same thread that will release the semaphore, so it'll never become available.

Gotcha!
How about using a poor man's critical section by opening a file for exclusive access? You can restrict this to provide exclusion within an app, across apps, or both.

dll are not executable files (no entry point).
you have to point a function (into that DLL) from your code...

How can I solve the unexpected EOF eror?;)

Well, you can test for the EOF flag (assuming you're talking about file I/O operations).

How can we know where you're wrong ? 
what is the context ? (your code, and the error description)...

I think this error occurs because of precompiled headers isn't it ? Then you need to go to the "file view", right click on the *.cpp file that generates the error -> settings/ C++ tab / choose precompiled headers category and then select 'don't use precompiled headers'. It should be something like that (from memory but I'm not sure if these are the exact names  ).
