Problem of using Switch statement to display data in CListBox

[Huskey]

I was trying to display my data in the CListBox like this

checked Time Float(3)
checked Column String
checked Row String

After implementing the switch statement shown below:

int choices = 3;
switch (choices) {
case 1: colTypes == "INTEGER";
case 2: colTypes == "FLOAT";
{
myColumns.Format(_T("%s\t%s&quot, column, Types);
}
case 3: colTypes == "STRING";
{
myColumns.Format(_T("%s\t%s(%d)&quot, column, Types, scales);
}
}

I got :
checked Time Float(3)
checked Column String(3)
checked Row String(3)

Can anyone please help me on this..... PLEASE. Thank you

I am confused by your use of the switch, and the == operator.

Note 1: you are doing a switch on a fixed number (

int choices = 3

) (???)

Note 2: the == operator does a comparison. But you use it like an assignment. Are you missing an

if

?

Note 2b: String comparison / assignment should be done through specific routines, such as strcmp/strcpy. Most strings are either CString objects (which require special attention) or pointers (

char *

) .

Note 3: I dont see you using

break;

's in your

case

statements. This means that even if your

choices

matches 1, it will also do statements for 2 and 3.
Normally a switch looks like:

switch (someDecimalVariable) { // int, uint, char, bool, but not float, char *, String etc
  case possiblityA: { ... } break;
  case possiblityB: { ... } break;
  case possiblityC: { ... } break;
  default: { ... }  // In case it doesnt match one of the above.
}
