Hello,
here is the format of my date string:

Thu, 13 Oct 2005 08:31:51 GMT

I try to do this like:

<code>
CString csDate = L"Thu, 13 Oct 2005 08:31:51 GMT";
COleDateTime oleTime;
// here i need help :(
</code>

i know how to parse that string manualy, but i hope that there is an internal function
to do this! Confused | :confused:

this should be new format of them:

2005-10-13

I just need the date from this string, not the time and other text likt "Thu" etc.

regards

Best XML Config class ?

I'm looking for a small and fast XMLConfig class in C++ that I can use for program settings. It needs to support multiple instances of a program which all use the same settings file. Since all instances can possibly read and write to the config file at the same time, it needs to handle this instance.

There are lots of different XMLConfig classes available, and I'm wondering which one would best suit my needs ?

tinyXML and CMarkup i have used both in production code, use CMarkup if you require a small footprint.. tinyXML is more complete.

If you think you can than you can, if you think you can't you are right.

Sorry, I'm a little bit confused here. You probably meant that you want to open and compile your project with VC2005, right ?

Well, it depends of the type of project (and also depends of the code itself). Normally, if you open your .dsw file with VC2005, it will start a conversion wizard that will do the conversion of the project for you. Normally it should work correctly. If you still have problems, tell us where exactly the problems are.

Depends on how good your code was. It's very possible that portions of your code won't compile, or at least give new warnings.

But, in the first instance, you can open and build it via the conversion wizard, which is automatic, just open the DSW

You are using wrong message for setting value.CB_SETITEMDATA is used to set item data for particular index.

I'm not clear about your wording, I'm assuming that you want first value to be selected and default selection.
You do this by using,

HWND hwndCombo = GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_COMBO);
SendMessage(hwndCombo,CB_CB_SETCURSEL,0,0);

Actually I have added numbers from 0– 10 in the Combo box properties under data.
After the dialog load combo box is empty no values in that . can u plz tell me what is wrong ???

Yes I want the default value to be selected to 0.

That properties page where you enter the initial data for the combo box only works in MFC apps.
