database app design question

Hi,

A short introduction to the progam I'm working on. I have a Form View with combo boxes and edit contols. The combo boxes, Buyer & Seller, are populated with the contents of one the tables, Customer Table, in my data from my data.

I also have an "Add" button on my form view. As you can guess, when the user clicks "Add" the contents of the combo boxes and edit controls are added to a record in "Transaction" table.

The code I have now does work. The problem is that I have the steps that add the record into the database are in the Form View class instead of the the Record Set class. This I know is bad programming.

The problem I can't figure out is how can I access the Combo boxes and Edit controls in a Form View class from a Record Set class. I guessing I will have to access the address of the Form View class.

I was thinking:

Code:

---

void CCustomerTransactionView::OnTransaction()
{

  UpdateData()

  CCustomerSet TmpSet;
  TmpSet.AddCustomer(Can't figure out what to pass here);

}

---

Thanks

Whatever works for you.

Code:

---

TmpSet.AddCustomerFromTranView(this); //have CCustomerSet do the work
//or
PopulateCustomerSet(TmpSet); //have CustomerTransactionView do the work

---

gg

Code:

---


TmpSet.AddCustomerFromTranView(this);

---

This is what I would like to try. The problem is implementing this function. I tried creating this function using "Add Member Function" In function type edit control I typed "void" and in Function Declaration I typed AddCustomerFromTranView(this)

I got the following error message "Unable to create the implementation of this function.

I then tried Function Declaration AddCustomerFromTranView(C...View* pView) This also generated error messages when I compiled the program.

Could you give me some insight to what I'm not doing right here.

This should work:
>> void AddCustomerFromTranView(CCustomerTransactionView* pView);

What are the compiler errors?

Make sure you have the headers included in the correct order.
