What exactly do you want to autocomplete? If you are looking for filepath auto completion then use ShAutoComplete[^].

You can maybe add a CComboBox control variable and then rename it to CComboCompletion.

Output filename strings in MSVC 2008 Express Edition

I'm trying to find out what strings to enter into the output filename field of the linker section of project properties in order to make my project always have the compile date included in the output filename. Preferably year first, then month, then day, as this will make the numbers increment more logically. Separators such as hyphens or underscores between the numbers are acceptable, but not necessary. The idea is that the compile date can act as a build number, and also will tell me at a glance which compile is from when, so I have an idea of what features are in the build based on when I compiled. I did try digging around in the help files, but as usual for MS, they should be called "no help" files.

I am not sure if you can do that in VS. One way to do this is to create a bat file in which you rename the generated executable file and run that bat file in post-build events.

This is is not what I was thinking of.

Let me describe exactly what I'm working with on the project file.

I right-click on the project in the sidebar after loading the solution. I click on properties from the popup menu and get a pop-up window of project properties which also has a sidebar. I click on "Linker" in the sidebar and the first field in the main area that shows is the Output File field. There I can change the filename. Is there anything I can enter in this field to make it automatically include the compile date in some form in the filename?

That's because you are wrapping 'number%d' in single quotes! Use double quotes "number %d".

By the way this won't work out, try this!

const int SomeNumber = 100 + 200;
char buff[100] = { 0 };
sprintf( buff, "My number is: %d", SomeNumber );
MessageBox( buff );

There is a function called CString::Format, if you are interested! And if you are further interested you can have a look at this[^].

Hi,

You may use like this also :

int num;
CString op;
op.Format("Number : %d",num);
AfxMessageBox(op);
//   or
::MessageBox(0,op,"Title",0);

Have Good Luck.. Smile | :)

Use AfxGetMainWnd()->PostMessage( WM_CLOSE ).

You can then post this message(WM_CLOSE) to your dialog, or call EndDialog on this main dialog of yours.
