Re: CProgressCtrl- Marquee Mode

Hi Bram,
I am stupid, you need to specify to the system that you want the latest level UI controls. I add the following #pragma to my main cpp source module:

C++

#pragma comment(linker, "\"/manifestdependency: \
		type='win32' \
		name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' \
		version='6.0.0.0' \
		processorArchitecture='*' \
		publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' \
		language='*'\"")

You can also add it to the Linker Properties somewhere. Give it a try and see what happens.

BTW I think the name you are looking for is Charles Petzold[^], he's still writing useful books.

Hi,

Well, that would be the obvious thing to do, if I could do it. My MFC Implementation has no such property, because it is (atmittedly) a bit long in the tooth.
Apart from that, there is no mention of any such property that I could find, in the MFC Online Documentation.

But, if you have any further Info or Refs on this, Please let me know.

Thanks

c++ win32 , equivilent to DateTime.Now() in asp.net

Is there an equivilent to the DateTime.Now() in asp.net, I'm writing a time stamp to sql server, and wanted to keep the same format.

dbUA->pzDateOpened = some sort of DateTime.Now();

GetCurrentTime() function should work for you. [^]

I didn't understand how to make the request, but I will look into again today.

Hi,

You can use GetLocalTime()..

SYSTEMTIME st;
GetLocalTyme(&st);

Yeah I saw that, but it looks like I have to build up my Date Time with a structure or something. I didn't understand how to make the request. Perhaps I read it wrong, will look into again today.

You included a sample, will give it a spin today. Thanks.

Richard MacCutchan12-Dec-11 4:59

That's it, done with this one for now.

12-Dec-11 4:59

According to MSDN _ftime[^] is the equivalent.

Thanks for the help Richard.

I was trying to inject the results into a datetime column in SQL via ODBC, but between the 2, it was hard to nail down the error. I didn't know if it was the format of the data, or ODBC not wanting to accept the LPSYSTEMTIME structure, or the size/precision of the data, which for some reason is 23,3.

Ended up with this for now, it works, I can modify it later if I find something better.

SYSTEMTIME systemTime;			
GetSystemTime(&systemTime);
LPSYSTEMTIME lpSystemTime = &systemTime;
			
swprintf_s(szDateOpened,
	L"%d-%d-%d %d:%d:%d",
	systemTime.wMonth,
	systemTime.wDay,
	systemTime.wYear,

	systemTime.wHour,
	systemTime.wMinute,
	systemTime.wSecond
			);
szDateOpened[wcslen(szDateOpened)] = L'\0';

And then sent it to the ODBC Driver in another function. I just need to figure how how to create a MD5 Hash in UT8 for the Encoded Password, and then this part of the program is done.

L"INSERT INTO UserInfo(FirstName, LastName, UserName, PhraseHint, Phrase, PasswordClear, DateOpened, Email, FrontAdmin, SecurityLevel, Enabled, LastLogin) "
L"VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, CAST(? as datetime), ?, ?, ?, ?, CAST(? AS datetime) )"

and parameterized the values, that one liner took all day long.

retcode = SQLBindParameter(hstmt, 12, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_WCHAR, SQL_VARCHAR, 23, 3, pzLastLogin, wcslen(pzLastLogin), NULL);

I'm afraid my SQL skills are non-existent, but I would suggest you do not store dates and/or times as text values in a database but as datetime (i.e. binary) values. The remarks section in the documentation[^] suggest how to convert it to a large integer. This seems like a lot of work just to save a simple value, but it is Microsoft.

Re: c++ win32 , equivilent to DateTime.Now() in asp.net

I casted it as datetime, in the ? mark, so sql server does the conversion. CAST(? as datetime)

I'm starting to find out that SQL Server is not that popular in c++. must be a asp.net thing. Oh well. That was easy compared to hashing the password.

Hi,

SYSTEMTIME st;
GetLocalTime(&st);
CString strHour, strMinute, strSecond;
strHour.Format(_T("%d"), st.wHour);
strMinute.Format(_T("%d"), st.wMinute);
strSecond.Format(_T("%d"), st.wSecond);

You can use this to get the current time. I f you need to update the time automatically.Use a timer with one second elapse time, and use this code in OnTimer().

Thanks

Dock an CControlBar into CChidFrame ?

I try this[^] CControlBar, and goes very well .. into CMainFrame ... I try to implement it into CChildFrame, but has failed ... it can be dock an CControlBar ( or extended ) into CChildFrame ?

Thanks !

I try in this way :

C++

// ChildFrm.h
protected:
   CControlBarExt m_wndControlBar;
   CTestDialog m_cDialog;

and

C++

int CChildFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) 
{
	if(CMDIChildWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)return -1;

	// TODO: Add your specialized creation code here

	if(! m_wndControlBar.Create(this, &m_cDialog, CString("ControlBar Demo"), IDD_DIALOG1))
	{
		TRACE0("Failed to create dialogbar\n");
		return -1;      // fail to create
	}

	m_wndControlBar.SetBarStyle(m_wndControlBar.GetBarStyle() | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC);
	m_wndControlBar.EnableDocking(CBRS_ALIGN_ANY);
	DockControlBar(&m_wndControlBar);

	return 0;
}

I get follow assetion failure :

C++

ASSERT(pDockBar != NULL);

In the same way can be done CCOntrolBar in CMainFrame and goes well ...

	return 0;
}

and goes well ... thank you very much for your patience. Bye.

dear friends, I want to take input from user as :-

f(x)= y = ax^2 + bx + c

i.e. custom function input from user then parse it and then integrate it. But I have no idea how to do ir. Please help me or suggest any book.
