-
Hi all I try to display current time in static control but its not given me the time its show me something unicode values although i have changed the setting but still i did get result Thanks

So why are you not showing us the code you are using, or do we just guess as to what you are doing wrong?

This should not even compile (bad format string). :confused:

When I had simply used sprintf complier generated warning for sprintf AND give suggestion fo sprintf_s i am using MSVS2008 ON VISTA I have change the code following way it compile succesful but rund time break the application
GetLocalTime(&time); char str[256]; sprintf_s(str,"02d%:02d%:02d%",time.wHour,time.wMinute,time.wSecond); std::string str1(str); int len; int slength = (int)str1.length() + 1; len = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, str1.c_str(), slength, 0, 0); wchar_t* buf = new wchar_t[len]; MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, str1.c_str(), slength, buf, len); SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC1,buf); -

And rightfully so since you did not change

now its working when i used sprintf but in the dialog it should be print hh:mm:yy I have debug the application i got the perfect string in all varibals but when display in the static control its only shows the hour nothing more. So here in US 1:40:40 so must be displayed but it show me 1 only ?

SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC,(LPCTSTR)str);you want to printstrorbuf?This signature was proudly tested on animals.

ya buf i have chnaged , the code is working but its not display the hh:mm:yy its only shows current hours in the static control
GetLocalTime(&time); char str[256]; sprintf(str,"%d:%d:%d",time.wHour,time.wMinute,time.wSecond); std::string str1(str); int len; int slength = (int)str1.length() + 1; len = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, str1.c_str(), slength, 0, 0); wchar_t* buf = new wchar_t[len]; MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, str1.c_str(), slength, buf, len); SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC1,(LPCTSTR)buf); -
the code working but display hours only i have increased the size of control but still not able to see the entire string
GetLocalTime(&time); char str[256]; sprintf(str,"%d:%d:%d",time.wHour,time.wMinute,time.wSecond); std::string str1(str); int len; int slength = (int)str1.length() + 1; len = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, str1.c_str(), slength, 0, 0); wchar_t* buf = new wchar_t[len]; MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, str1.c_str(), slength, buf, len); SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC1,(LPCTSTR)buf); -

It makes no difference whether you use
sprintf()orsprintf_s(). If you have a malformed format string, you can't expect correct results. What is the value ofbufprior to callingSetDlgItemText()?"Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown

The format string is
"02d%:02d%:02d%"or"%02d:%02d:%02d"? ;) Need to brushup those old C lessons? :-D BTW, Why can't you use CString?SYSTEMTIME time;
GetLocalTime(&time);CString csTime;
csTime.Format( _T("%02d:%02d:%02d"), time.wHour,time.wMinute,time.wSecond );SetDlgItemText(IDC_STATIC1,csTime);
I apoligize that since i don't have VS2008 installed, the above code snippet is compiled in VS6.0. So try it. Regards, Jijo.

buf has garbage value now In my debugging i have seen that if 15:22:34 Then in buf shows L(1) only show what is the reason? so then this character display in the static control

sorry ,in hurry i had type that things but in my code it is ok but sorry for that. and you are genius becoz you find that mistake anyways thanks for this code
