Here is some condensed code from my program:


    ON_XTP_EXECUTE(ID_VIEW_ZOOM, OnViewZoom)
    ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI(ID_VIEW_ZOOM, OnUpdateViewZoom)



void CPicView::OnViewZoom(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
    NMXTPCONTROL *tagNMCONTROL = (NMXTPCONTROL *)pNMHDR;
    CXTPControlComboBox *pControl = reinterpret_cast<CXTPControlComboBox *>(tagNMCONTROL->pControl);
    ::SetZoom(pControl->GetEditText());
    *pResult = TRUE;
}

void CPicView::OnUpdateViewZoom(CCmdUI* pCmdUI)
{
    CXTPControlComboBox *pControl = reinterpret_cast<CXTPControlComboBox *>(CXTPControl::FromUI(pCmdUI));

    if( ::ShouldBeEnabled ) {
        pCmdUI->Enable();
        if( GetFocus() != pControl->GetEditCtrl() ) {
            CString str = ::GetZoom();
           
            if( pControl->GetEditText() != str ) {
                pControl->GetEditCtrl()->SetWindowText(str);
            }
        }
    } else {
        pControl->GetEditCtrl()->SetWindowText("");
    }
}


Now, my question is why do I have to useGetEditCtrl()->SetWindowText() instead of just SetEditText() ? Calling GetEditText() seems to work just fine to retrieve it, but usingSetEditText() causes all kinds of problems, particularly when I havetwo of the same control on the toolbar and want them to always be insync, and when switching back and forth between two open MDI windowsboth using this view, and thus the zoom combo on the toolbar shouldreflect the active MDI window's view.
I think I finally got the code working, using theGetEditCtrl()->SetWindowText() but I really want to know if I amusing the combobox in the proper way, and why can't I use SetEditText()?
