Why the extra \0 character? This statement is missing a semicolon.

meenakhisjoshi wrote:
sprintf(szDesc,"DSN=%s: DESCRIPTION=TOC support source: DBQ=%s: FIL=MicrosoftSQL: DEFAULTDIR=D:\\Database:: ","TestDB","root@localhost\\dtest.sql")

If you are using MFC, why not use a CString object rather than mess with sprintf()? This statement is also missing a semicolon.

In this '\0' just for termination of string
the error is
SQLConfigDataSource is return False.

Is any problem in that syntax

Which string literals already have one of.

So have you bothered to call SQLInstallerError() to find out why?

If you're using MFC, have a look at CTimeSpan class http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ay6ws8h3(VS.80).aspx[^].

Unfortunately, none of the two suggestion above will do what DATEDIFF does...
You need to separate the DATE part of your time value. You didn't say what data type you use for your date/time variables.
The easiest way, I think, is to convert both dates to COleDateTime (which wraps double representation of date/time), truncate the fractional part and simply subtract one value from another.

Hi all,

I would liek to know if it is possible to create dynamic structures? And if it is possible, how would one go about doing it?

Many Thanks

Hi,

i think the only way is to use void* Pointer into your struct.
So you can store what-ever in your structure.
But the number of pointers must be specified in the code.

Good luck Smile | :)

What do you mean? Do you want to dynamically create statically declared structs?
If the answer is yes, then use the new operator. On the other hand, if the answer is no, please detail you request.

Well for example, instead of creating five structures, is it possible to create one structure that can dynamically cater for each of the five structs during run time.

Makes sense ?
Thanks for the response ...

Why don't you use a container (such as std::vector) for your dynamically created structures?

(Maybe I haven't fully understood your requirements).

You mean 5 different structures? Unsure | :~

, then you can't use vectors straight away. You can use vectors to grow itself dynamically but not different data struct types. May be you can cast everything to void* then push it inside the vector. I mean if you are talking about different structs.

HtmlHelp function problem [modified]

I`ve got MFC dialog-based program and i`ve made html help support by this way:

pressing F1 in dialog calls OnHelpInfo(..) in which i call HtmlHelp(..). It works in some strange way: if before pressing F1 i press button Browse (that calls standart file open dialog CFileDialog) and point to some file, HtmlHelp() does not work after this.

What do i do wrong?

VC++ 6.0

Thx.

I would guess that your current directory is being set by the FileOpen dialog, and you are not calling the help function with the correct name.

Imagine your program lives in "c:\myprog".

User runs your program:
Dir is set to c:\myprog
User asks for help
HtmlHelp ("myhelp.chm") runs c:\myprog\myhelp.chm.
User changes directory to c:\other
User asks for help
HtmlHelp ("myhelp.chm") runs c:\other\myhelp.chm, and fails.

What you need to do is to make sure you're running the correct help file.

What I do is: Use GetModuleFilename to get the full path of the exe. replace exe with chm, and then run that help file.

I hope that helped!

Iain.
