So which of the three staments is in error?
What does %tm do?

You confused the poor compiler somewhere. Set a few breakpoints, and find out what's happening.
Work with Asserted Values, Run Trivial Examples, Write a Dedicated App to take just this step (Can be a Dialog based App,Call your code in OnInitApp() ). This is called 'Debugging'. The above are the steps I would take, and in that following order. I bet that Step One will lead you to the solution.
It may be slow and tedious, but that's what writing software is about.
Let me know how you're getting on. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

I can't figure out what to do. I changed the code to:
time_t mt; time(&mt);
tm *now;
now = localtime(&mt);
if (now->tm_hour==16){LogError("AClass","BProcess","Hour is 4 pm");}
I still get the same error message
Without these 5 lines of code, I do not get any error. I even took out the if statement and I still get the error!

|
time_t mt;
time(&mt);
// I would use mt =time(NULL);
struct tm *now;
now = localtime(&mt);
tm is part of the tag Name Space. Not part of cpp as such, but still there
// Works in MSVS 5.00

Thanks a lot, worked perfectly!
Thanks thanks thanks,

Thinking a bit further.
struct tm is part of the C-Runtime, not CPP. That's why you need to qualify tm as a structure tag. In other words, struct tm was declared as a structure tag under 'C' it has therefore no typedef value under cpp.

Hi,
How does the listbox part of combobox appear beyond the parent's client area without being clipped whereas a hand made listbox,when moved near the edge of the parent's client area get clipped?
I mean, suppose the parent's client area is 300x300. If I move a combobox to 100,250 with dropdown height as 100 and click on it, it opens up. Now suppose I move a listbox of size 100x200 to 100,250. It is clipped.
What's the trick ? I guessed the combo's listbox is sibling of the combo's parent and has higher Z order....
I need this to work. F1.
Koder.

I would guess the combo box's list window is a child of the desktop window.

Well you can't actually get Spy++ on the drop down window ( at least I can't figure out how ) but putting on one that has the list displayed statically or on a rolled-up combobox does not show the desktop as an owner of the any of combobox windows.

I wouldn't expect or assume anything on a rolled-up combobox but what do you mean by
"the list displayed statically"?
Heck, now that I think about it more, it doesn't need to be a separate window...
The control code can just draw it on the screen (to a screen DC)

Yeah that's what I was thinking, it's a common control so who knows what it's doing.

Well you can see one in the Notepad Font Dialog or do one in your own MFC dialog by setting the "Type" property to "Simple"

That doesn't draw outside the parent for me (on Vista/Common Controls V6).

Did you lengthen it vertically in the designer after setting the property? And put data in it?
(XP Pro VS2005 ) What is the DLL so I can check the version?
Wow, what an idiot, "outside the parent", I was thinking the edit box part of the control not the parent window of the combobox.
Guess I picked a bad day to stop smoking crack. Have a great weekend Mark, i'm outa here! ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

Yes. And put it at the bottom of the dialog. If I resize the dialog by dragging the bottom edge down,
the items come into view.

Beats me - which dll has the combobox implementation? 
I just meant I was using the <assemblyIdentity type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0'...
manifest entry 
Is this the daily "how does it work" session? hehe If more people would do that, there wouldn't be many posts here LOL

From MSDN:
"Due to its size, the list box component of a drop-down combo box may need to extend beyond the client area of the combo box's parent window. Windows creates the list box as a child of the desktop window"

So, Desktop it is..will try.
Thanks.

That must be it...most of them said that.
Thanks. Will try.

Assuming MFC...
Attempt #1: You can CreateEx() with WS_POPUP style but that will deactivate your app while the popup is up and your popup window will show up in the taskbar.
Attempt #2: You can give it an extended style of WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW to prevent the taskbar entry but that doesn't solve the deactivated application problem.
The solution is to avoid WS_POPUP and use CreateEx() with an extended style of WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, style of WS_CHILD, and make the parent the desktop window.
There are other issues to contend with but that will get you a window that can extend beyond the window of your application.
Hope that helps.

I do not quite understand your issue.
Indeed, drop list for combo box is a child of the desktop window. It also has mouse capture, to detect when it should be dismissed.
The point is that all you need is a handler for a command message with ID_HELP ID and command message handler.
Drop list generates WM_HELP message and the rest is done by a framework, resulting in delivering WM_HELP to a combo box and further as a command to an application.

Thanks for your reply.
By ID_HELP, if you are referring to "I need this to work. F1.", please forgive my bad humour...I meand "I need this to work. Help"

Well, I took it literarily.

So, what is exactly that you "need this to work" then?

I am looking for a software licensing system. This is one of those systems where you register the product, and you get a key back, enter the key in a registration screen, and the product is enabled.
In our case, we're interested in this primarily for controlling access to different "modules" of a large application.
I have done some browsing, and it looks like there are a number of tools to do this kind of thing, including Protection Plus, Software Passport, and Encryptor.
Anyone have any experience with these or similar products? Recommendations? Things to look out for?
Thanks,
Don
