Hi David,

I've seen a gadget called 'Weather 1.0.0' which comes with Windows Vista - Side Bar. I hope the same can be done using VC++. But I've no clues on how to start with.

This needs an internet connection to be active to update the weather information.

If someone can provide some pointers on this, will help me in proceeding further to achieve the same.

Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh

Hi Stuart / David,

I got some information from google.

"http://www.google.co.in/ig/api?weather=trivandrum,india"

we can specify the city name and the country name in the weather and it will display the contents in XML format.

I would like to know, how through programically using VC+ to write the XML contents to a file or even read the contents of the XML so as to extract the weather information.

Kindly pass on your comments.

Please let me know, if you have a better way to achieve the same.

Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh

Good news - you can actually help yourself by searching the articles on this site. There are several ready-to-use classes for reading/writing Excel files.

Not really sure what you mean, but most likely you want some kind of Inter Process Communication (IPC).
You can find various solutions for IPC here[^] involving shared memory, pipes, usage of WM_COPYDATA and more.

You could use a kernel object like Mutex and synchronization functions like WaitForSingleObject, WaitForMultipleObjects, etc., But to provide you with a more specific answer, you need to ask a specific query. Smile | :)

Hello,
Sorry for my mistake first.
I never keep my words OP.I always write my own code and never request code.

You sholud at least be polite and without pre-judgment.
