Creating a List of Names

Task :

The previous program allowed the user to enter a first and a second name. These could then be displayed in an ordinary window and a form view. This program should now be modified to allow a list of names to be displayed and stored. The program may keep the title names.

Instructions :

• This program uses a POSITION type to allow the both views to access the list of names. As a result, all of the Get and Set functions previously in the Document should be removed. The pointer to the CName class should also be removed.
• Define a TypedPtrList in the Document.
• Define the POSITION in the Document.
• Create a GetCurrentItem() function in the Document.
• Edit the AddNames() function in the Document.
• Edit the OnDraw() function in the FormView class to all the current item to be displayed.
• To allow the list of names to be displayed GetNextItem() and GetHeadPosition() functions must be added to the Document.
• Edit the OnDraw() function in the standard view to display the list of names.

Help :

The MSDN library provides a sample program, COLLECT, which displays some of the features of the CTypedPtrList class.
