SYMPTOMS

This problem only occurs in the German localized version of Visual C++ 5.0. When you have Ctrl+DblClk on a dialog box or "Add Member Variable" in Class Wizard, the member variables in the CRecordset class are not displayed.

CAUSE

The Class Wizard fails to translate the strings.

STATUS

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Create a new MFC SDI AppWizard project (neu MFC einzeines dokument projekte), and name the project Test.
In MFC AppWizard - step 2 of 6:
1. Click "Datenbankansicht mit Dateiunterstunterstutzung" (Database view with file support).
2. Click Datanquelle... (DataSource...).
3. In the "Datenbankoptionen" (Database Options) dialog box, connect to an ODBC or DAO database. Select a table from the database.
In MFC AppWizard - step 2 of 6 - Click "Fertigstellen" (Finish).
Click the ResourceView for the project and open the dialog resource for IDD_TEST_FORM.
Add an EditBox.
Connect the database fields to the EditBox using one of the following:
- Press Ctrl+DblClick in the EditBox. -or-
- Start ClassWizard (Ctrl+W), click the Member-Variablen (member variable) tab, select the CTestView class and click "Variable hinzufugen...".

Either method makes the "Member-variable hinzufugen..." (Add Member Variable) dialog box appear. The "Name der member variable" listbox should show the member variables of the CRecordset derived class CTestSet.

Steps to Work Around this Problem

If you need to connect a field to the EditBox, you have to manually add code to the CTestView::DoDataExchange() function. For example, if you want to connect to the EditBox to the:

   m_pSet->m_StudentID

variable, add the following line to void: void CTestView::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX) which is located in the TextView.cpp file as follows:

  DDX_FieldText(pDX, IDC_EDIT1, m_pSet->m_StudentID, m_pSet);

The result should look like the following:

   void CTestView::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
   {
      CRecordView::DoDataExchange(pDX);
      //{{AFX_DATA_MAP(CDbtestView)
      DDX_FieldText(pDX, IDC_EDIT1, m_pSet->m_StudentID, m_pSet);
      //}}AFX_DATA_MAP
   }
