dates

Neal beavis

Hi guys and gurls, Does anyone know how u can get two dates and then work out the difference s that it can display someones age?

In MFC: To get two dates from controls on a dialog, look at: CDateTimeCtrl. To work with date / times, use CTime. To subtract them, you can use CTimeSpan also. That should give you things to search for and learn from. Iain.

If you are using MFC, you can use CTime[^] and CTimeSpan[^]

No im using visual basics and i really only know the basics of visual so dont really knowhwo to use what you have suggested :(

That's no sooo difficult. Like you are able to compute, inwardly, someone's age, given its date of birth, so you should be able to code the algo. :)

So, you are using Visual C++ then ? Which kind of application did you create (console, win32 or MFC) ?

It actually doesn't look a good plan. :)
