SetFileAttributes(), GetfileAttributes()

Should not be any problem with these API's.

Could there be other reason for this ? other that 'readonly' property.
Apprantly it should work.

There is a thread in my application which should write a data continiously.
As soon as the Read Only property is unchecked, a thread in my application will start writing into the buffer. I am not seeing this happen

Hi just a quick question.

How can i set the style of a ListView control to LVS_REPORT. I have searched and only found a method that doesnt work for VS2003.NET - Basically right click the control and change the sytle property. The property doesn't appear to be there.

I am sure I am missing something simple but oh well cant see the forrest for the trees.

Cheers

Also programmatically on init:

BOOL CListViewDerivedClass::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
// Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying
// the CREATESTRUCT cs

//--THIS LINE HERE--
cs.style |= LVS_REPORT;

return CListView::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

I'm not getting any errors. Which IDE you are using ?

Infact, I'm not getting errors on VS6 and VS8.

Can you show exact error, you are getting.

Unfortunately, what worked in VC++ 6.0, no longer works in VC++ 2003. I'm not sure what version your using but we have to resort to using the scope resolution operator when programming MSXML in VC++ 2003. Frown | :(

Comment out the using namespace MSXML2[^]

Hi all,

Is it possible to use the strncpy() function to achive the following:

FileName1.txt to FileName1.abc

I have tried the following:

<code>
int ExtensionLen;
char *ExtensionString;
ExtensionString = FileNameFromClient;
ExtensionLen = strlen(ExtensionString) - 4;
char extstring[20];   
strncpy( (char*)extstring, ExtensionString, ExtensionLen );
strcat((char*)extstring,(char*)".tcp");
</code>

Just to change the extension, or is there something else I could use?

Thanx

If you want to do it in plain old C, here is a way:

char fileName[20];
strcpy(fileName, "FileName1.txt");

// Now change extension to ".abc"

// "Smart" coding, assumes there is a dot in the filename
strcpy(strrchr(fileName, '.'), ".txt");

OR (safer):
char * cpDot = strrchr(fileName, '.');
if(NULL != cpDot) strcpy(cpDot, ".txt");

Let the flaming begin! (I won't answer, I have work to do).

this will do if the file name contains only one '.'.

if the file is called for instance foo.test.doc, your code will fail.

You want to rename file , dont you?
Have you come across this code from MSDN ?

#include <stdio.h>

void main( void )
{
   int  result;
   char old[] = "RENAMER.OBJ", new[] = "RENAMER.JBO";

   /* Attempt to rename file: */
   result = rename( old, new );
   if( result != 0 )
      printf( "Could not rename '%s'\n", old );
   else
      printf( "File '%s' renamed to '%s'\n", old, new );
}
