FindFirstFile/FindFirstFileEx/FindNextFile should do that.
Just pass the appropriate filter; I guess it's "X:\*"

Read each URL from the text file and pass it to your view. Or perhaps your question means something else.

Problems with English MFC app on Chinese Windows

Hi,

I have written an MDI MFC (using VS2010) application which one of our distributors in China is testing. He is running Windows 7, Simple Chinese.

The problem he has encountered are that for some of the dialogs the text shows ??? instead of the text. These dialogs are MFC ones i.e. prompt to save an unsaved file or response to a value beign out of range in a dialog.

since all the remaining text from the application resources show without any problems I wonder if it may be down to the application using a "Multi-byte Charactor Set" and not unicode. (can't remember why I choose "Multi-byte Charactor set")

Should I build the application as a Unicode application?
and would this help pave the way for localised resources?

thanks in advance

Robin

Robin,

Its good if you build your application using Unicode character set, hopefully this will solve the problem.

Thanks,

Hi Anand,

Thanks for your suggestion. I had suspected that building my application using unicode would solve my problem.

I have heard back from our Chinese distributor this morning that the display issues are now resolved.

Thanks,
Robin.

Hi!
I've to generate .lib file from my project. But only object file is generating. I've set the configuration type as Static Library (.lib). But no lib is generated. How to generate .lib file?

Take a look at your project properties, there is probably something missing that is preventing it executing the LIB step.

How is the date and time represented?
If using COleDateTime, you can use its Format method.

Otherwise use sprintf_s or swprintf_s to format the date and time into a string.
You can also use CString::Format instead.

What do you mean by "date and time" exactly ? You have different types of objects that can represent date and time, so what are you using ? Take a look for instance at COLEDateTime[^].

If you're using ATL/MFC COleDateTime then have a look at Format method.
If you're instead using Win32 then read about strftime function.

You could modify the last line:

return (FALSE != b); // to prevent a possible warning

thanks in advance.

0. Set a COleDataTimeSpan object (day) to a day
1. Set a COleDataTime object (date) to the desired month of the desired year
2. Build a loop of the incrementation (date += day)
while (1(sat) != date.GetDayOfWeek()) for two times
3. Now you (date) are at the second sat Smile | :)
