Can you please explain what you mean? As far as I know, the VT_DATE is the only date-related variant type... it's not like there's a VT_LONGDATE or something like that... how do I know that VT_DATE is associated with the short date-time version?

Why don't you use COleDateTime::Format(_T("%m/%d/%Y")); ?
|
|
|
|

Because the application must be internationalized, that is, culture and language sensitive. If the user uses a locale that presents dates as YYYY-MM-DD (as in Japan, for example), I cannot force a different date format on him.

ParseDateTime is meant to work in all cases (well that's according to the documentation) and I think you can use Format(_T("%x")) or %#x to get short or long format to select the short or long format...

thanks! I haven't noticed these tokens...

Instead of using VAR_DATEVALUEONLY, maybe you can use GetLocaleInfo using either LOCALE_SLONGDATE or LOCALE_SSHORTDATE to return the locale-formatted string, and use that in COleDateTime::Format().
I've never tried this personally, but I have something similar that does work.

I am using Internetdial function of Wininet in Visual C++ 6.0 to get an Internet connection via a GPRS-Modem. Would it be possible to disable the Dial-Up Connection dialog box when using the Internetdial function?
Thanks in advance!

I have a dialog with a button and a progressbar. When the user clicks the button a lengthy process is initiated. During this process I want to increment the progressbar on a regular interval. I did this by setting a timer when the button is clicked, but the OnTimer function is never called. However it is called when I set the timer in the OnInitDialog function.
It seems that the lengthy process that is initiated in the 'OnMyButtonClicked' function blocks the timer. Anyone knows a sollution for this problem?

you need to have event pumped into your lenghty process.
I thing there are samples here on code project, have a look around.

Do this lengthy progress in a worker thread. Have this worker thread send PostMessages to its parent(View), which in turn sets the Progress bar.
For threads, I recommend this article.[^]
[edit] You can also use a message pump as suggested (code is in the Prosise-book), but that tends to get complicated.

I now use a worker thread and everything works fine. Thanks for your reply.

In Win32 you should use a worker thread to handle lengthy processes in the background so that normal message passing can continue.
If you do not want to use a worker thread then you will need to to use one of the old tricks used before mult-threading.
1) Use some thing like this
if( PeekMessage(...) ) // in lengthy process loop
{
DispatchMessage(...)
}
to allow other messages to be processed.
OR
2) Use a user defined message that you keeping posting to your self until the job is fininish. There by allowing other messages to flow. This works as follows:
PostMessage(MY_MESSAGE); // Get processing started
...
Proc(MY_MESSAGE)
{
swicth(message)
{
case MY_MESSAGE:
// do part of processing
if( !done )
PostMessage(MY_MESSAGE);
break.
}
Both of the above method will increase the amount of time it take to do the lengthy process, but they both work to solve your problem.
I hope this give you some ideas as to how to solve your problem.

I am not sure if this will help, but does this "lengthy process" have a DO/FOR/WHILE loop? If so the task is fairly straight forward. Here is an example of a ProgressBar function:
void CMyDialog::ProgressBar()
{
int percentage=0; //variable initialisation
char temp[100]; //
//The following line will calculate the Progress bar percentage
//The "Records" is a global UINT which increments each time through the loop
//The "TotalRecords" is the total number of Records in the loop
percentage=(int)(((float)Records/(float)TotalRecords)*100.0);
//"m_Progress" is the variable attached to your dialog
//This will set the position of the progress bar depending on the percentage
m_Progress.SetPos(percentage);
//This will update the "m_Progress" variable with the new position
UpdateData(FALSE);
}
Call this function every time you wish to update the progress bar.
Dont forget to update the "Records" variable before calling this function.
Hope this helps.

I think what you want is something like:
SendMessage(hWnd, EM_SETSEL, -1, -1);
SendMessage(hWnd, EM_REPLACESEL, Undo, Text);

I am not so familiar with VC++ and I am facing a problem that seems too easy to professionals.
I have created a dialog based application with VC++ wizard but on the taskbar only the button for the first dialog is displayed. If I try to add more dialogs and their related dialog classes into the project, they do not have their own taskbar button so I do have to use alt+tab to swap among the dialogs. Any ideas?
|

That's the normal behaviour...
maybe create the other dialogs modeless with a NULL parent (or desktop window as parent ).

Items only appears on the taskbar if they children of the desktop window (like the standard modal-dialog-based app is). If you want your other dialogs to be on the taskbar, you'll need to either make them modeless with the parent as the desktop window, or to write a separate modal-dialog-based app for either dialog you want to be separated.
The kindest thing you can do for a stupid person, and for the gene pool, is to let him expire of his own dumb choices.
