For some strange reason, it will work if you hover over a dot but won't work if you hover over an octet (i.e., edit) field.

How to Format the time

Hi,
I have an application(supporting multiple languages) in which I want to display the time with time marking. When I am running the application on an English OS(WinXP), it is showing the time in appropriate format(hh:mm:ss AM/PM). But when I am running the same application(French version) on an french OS(WinXP), it is showing the time without any AM/PM marking.
I am using the GetTimeFormat() function for the purpose, with appropriate picture string("hh':'mm':'ss tt") and locale set as LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT and dwFlags set to NULL. Still it is showing the same date format in French OS(without AM/PM).
Please Solve my query.

Thanks and Regards,

Purusottam Mishra

CTime ddate;
ddate=ddate.GetCurrentTime();
iday=ddate.GetDay();
imon=ddate.GetMonth();
iyear=ddate.GetYear();
ihrs=ddate.GetHour();
imin=ddate.GetMinute();
isec=ddate.GetSecond();
sdatef.Format("%.2d%.2d%.4d_%.2d%.2d",imon,iday,iyear,ihrs,imin,isec);

As a reply to both previous posts, Month/Day/Year is a wrong format for French so GetTimeFormat() is the right way and it does return whatever the locale has set as the format. So quite possibly the French locale has 24 hour format while Enghlish one has 12 hour AM/PM one etc. In the end, if MS was correct then whatever you get is the correct form, you don't have to get AM/PM format, it's not the only "good" one.

If you have your time in a COleDateTime object, you can use the Format method.

CString Format(
   DWORD dwFlags = 0,
   LCID lcid = LANG_USER_DEFAULT 
) const;

dwFlags 
   Indicates one of the following locale flags:

   LOCALE_NOUSEROVERRIDE   Use the system default locale settings, rather than custom user settings.

   VAR_TIMEVALUEONLY   Ignore the date portion during parsing.

   VAR_DATEVALUEONLY   Ignore the time portion during parsing.

lcid 
   Indicates locale ID to use for the conversion.

It returns a CString with the time already formatted for you.

Hope that helps.

Hi,
Thanks for replying.
But the actual problem was that on french OS the regional settings for time were not set to AM/PM, that why this problem was occuring.
The problem is fixed now.
Thanks again for spending your precious time for the problem.

The sample that led mike post will help you.
If you have an application without MFC, just remove the MFC objects in that sample and you will see the plain WIN32 functions for scrolling and text output.

why are junk char appended while writing CString to CFile

The answer is still yes but you will have to do much more work. If that is your intention I recommend you get a good book to learn fundamentals of Win32 programming from. Trying to figure it out from forums is not going to be very productive.

Pls find the code here

strLine.Format("%s %d %d %d",strAbc,dDlgResID,dwData,nCmd);
strLine.TrimRight();
strLine=strLine+"\r\n";

CFile file;
file.Open("c:\\some.txt", CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeNoTruncate|CFile::modeReadWrite);
file.SeekToEnd();
file.Write(strLine,strLine.GetLength());

the first param in write() method of CFile need a pointer point to the string, but the given param is not a string , just a CString object, try LPCTSTR operation;

This line is your problem:

ptr_Electron wrote:
file.Write(strLine,strLine.GetLength());

The first character (or more) of a CString is a length byte(s). You need to get only the data:

file.Write(strline.GetBuffer(strline.GetLength(), strLine.GetLength();

Hope that helps.
