You can also use the Insert.

Insert( int, PCXSTR );
Insert( int, XCHAR );

Example:

CString test( "is a test" );
test.Insert( 0, "This " );

I have a VC++ application with tab views in the main window. I wish to be able to send some information and have it displayed in the lower portion of the main window. There are 3 shaded boxes for information along the lower right edge of the main window now. How can I access and write to those location?? Just not sure how to do it.

Thanks.
Jerry

I would like to get some code for opening a Access database. So that I can use an Excutable to open a the database rather than the .mdb Im not that familuar with Visual C++ but thats all I have avalible to me but I do know the basics Thanks for any help.

For starters, create a new MFC AppWizard (exe) project via AppWizard. One of the steps will ask if you want database support. Reply in the affirmative. You will then need to select an existing DSN. After that, you select the table and the columns you are interested in. The default query that is generated for you is something like "SELECT * FROM <whatever table="" you="" chose="">".

If you have an existing MFC project, you can derive a new class from CRecordset. It will prompt you for the same DSN, table, and column that AppWizard did.

When you get this far, come back and ask some more questions. It's easier to go a few steps at a time.

Okay this probably sounds weird I know a little about ADO but all I want to do is have an EXE open a mdb and still have it open in access. Thanks again. By the way i would love to do my whole database with ado but there so many things i dont yet know how to do in C++ that I can do in Access. Smile | :)

Thanks again.

Then it sounds like you simply need to use ShellExecute() with the "open" verb. Use the absolute path to the .mdb file as the third parameter.

VC6 C++ ability to read .NET DataSet XML

OBRon28-Apr-05 4:30

I have an existing VC6 C++ application that I'm using to post http calls into a .NET web service. One of the methods on this web service returns a DataSet object which has pretty complicated XML; including base64 encoded binary blob fields. Has anyone attempted to create a C++ class that can emulate the C# DataSet class; and be able to parse that XML and provide accessors to the rows and column values? I am going to have to do this, but thought I would first see if there was any exising code I could make use of rather than re-inventing that wheel.

Thanks if anyone has a starter block of code they don't mind sharing.

Utility to convert VC++ to C#

Is there any utility which converts VC++ code to C# code. I do not expect all conversions basic conversion will do such as class, property, method migration.

Thanks

i believe no... you must rewrite all the VC++ Code into C#...
in fact you must redesign the code to get the best performance in C#...

Thanks Ravi,
I'd seen GetFileTime on VC6 but it only talked about WinCE !
I checked again at home where I have .NET2002 after your reply and it listed NT/2000/XP too. Odd Sniff | :^)

File Associations

I have the following problem :

I have written a MDI Application opening and reading files of type *.myapp

I have made a file association with my application and when a user clicks a file with the extension *.myapp my application starts but does not load the file.

I know I have to read the parameters the shell passes to my program, but I do not know how. And I do not know for which event I should write a handler.

C++ multiplication

28-Apr-05 3:55

In visual studio .net ver 2003 in reguards to c++ my multiplication is messed up. I get a result of 0 when I try and multiply the following. What's wrong?

#include "stdafx.h"

#using <mscorlib.dll>
#include "math.h"

using namespace System;

int _tmain()
{
__int64 p;

p= 16 * 268435456;

Console::WriteLine(p);
return 0;
}

I assume that the WriteLine() method supports a __int64 type. What is the largest value (e.g., 2³¹) that you can successfully send to WriteLine()?

The number I am multipling with 16 is the highest number for the output.

Re: C++ multiplication

David Crow28-Apr-05 4:20

David Crow

If 2²⁸ is the highest number for the output, what does outputting 2²⁸ + 1 produce? If that does not work, I would expect 2³² to fail as well. Yes?
