If I were stood next to you right now I would shake your hand, pat you on the back and run away with your cane.

Learning to use a wrapper, in my opinion, is not learning to code. I see many programs and especially libraries that are coded in MFC, much of the time it's unwarrented. We all know MFC apps come with baggage. If the project is a large scale multi media library, then no problem. But I don't want to download a 3mb calculator, nor would I expect anybody else to.

What pains me the most is to see an excellent code sample that would greatly help in one of my projects, only for it to be MFC only. There are very few projects/articles on here that cater for non MFC users. Is it so difficult for people to test what is defined?

Win32 coding is lot better than MFC . For example , I did my first TCP server using CSocket . I tried to use the same CSocket in a console application . I was able to create,bind and listen on the server object -but I was surprised to find that OnAccept() never fired when clients attempted connections ! . It took me a while to realise that in a console app, if we use CSocket, then the messages won,t be pumped to the socket layer . Someone suggested me to use a invisible framewnd class to act as message handler !
So lets learn it in the right way (hard way ?)- Win32

data parsing library

Does anybody know about some lightweight free library for parsing numerical/financial data ? For example floars like 12,345.67 , amounts ( -$565.34) etc.
I would also need to parse date in various formats (02/04/06, Feb 32 2005, etc.)

Thank you!

this is not a real huge task to do, and you'd better write yours to fits exactly your needs...

You don't know where to start ? ask a good friend

The Boost libraries, http://www.boost.org, are not lightweight but quit useful for text and string processing. You will have to read the Boost Software License to determine if it is free to your understanding of the word. In addtion to Regex, there is Spirit and Tokenizer.

Thank you guys, I'll check those libraries.
I've realised that also COleCurrency::Parse could do the trick, I have to examine it.

What exactly do you mean by "parsing data?"

Use COleDateTime::ParseDateTime().

CString str = "1,234,567";
str.Remove(',');

actually this does not check if the "," was used correctly but maybe I won't need this.
Thank you for the idea
