    <p>With the first approach, it looks like you're almost there: the only really significant problem is that the repeated calls to UpdateData() mess with the cursor position as the user is typing.</p> <p>Given that you're trying to have a reasonably complex interaction between the controls, what I'd suggest is not to do validation in the OnChange() at all, so that as the user is typing he can type what he wants (which is how most numeric edit controls work anyway). When the user closes the dialog the controls are on (or clicks a button that uses the data in some way) then validation should be triggered, and a suitable error shown.</p> <p>Once you're free from validating in OnChange(), you can fix the "cursor moves" problem by simply not calling UpdateData() in OnChange(). Instead, just parse the number from "editString" and, if it's in the valid range, update the scrollbar. That way, the scrollbar updates as the user types, and if they type in an invalid value the scrollbar stays put, and they'll get an error when they move to whatever the next stage is. Something like this (not tested):</p> <pre><code>void MarginDlg::OnEnChangeFueledit() { CString editString; GetDlgItem(IDC_FUELEDIT)-&gt;GetWindowText(editString); double editValue; if ((sscanf(editString,"%lf",&amp;editValue) == 1) { if (editValue &gt;= 0.0) &amp;&amp; (editValue &lt;= 1.0)) fuelScroll.SetScrollPos(int(editValue*1000)); } } </code></pre> <p>The only remaining important problem to note is that, if the user types some invalid value, or a number out of the valid range, then the edit control and the scrollbar will be out of sync. The simplest way to deal with that is to just decide that the edit control is the "master" value: that is, when we want to know what the user entered, we always look at the edit control, not the scrollbar, and validate data.</p> <p>As for your second approach, one possible solution might be to implement a timer message handler: in the timer handler you could say the equivalent of "if the user hasn't typed anything for a second, I'll assume they're done, and parse the number and update the scrollbar". I'm not so keen on that as a solution, though.</p>
