I have a class which is using the float as template parameter . The code compiles correctly in VC6.0. But in VS2008 float is not allowed as template paramemter. So i am using the float pointer(please let me know if there is any alternative other than using int as data type). when I compile the code I get following errors at multiple places syntax error : missing ',' before identifier 'lowerBound' syntax error : missing ',' before identifier 'upperBound' 'tBoundedType' : too many template arguments How can fix this? what is error in this class declaration here is my float pointer class declaration #ifndef tBoundedType_h #define tBoundedType_h #define CLASSID_TBOUNDEDTYPE 27 template class tBoundedType { public: tBoundedType(); // Sets the value to lowerBound. tBoundedType(float * value); // An Ensure fails if value is not between lowerBound and upperBound. // tBoundedType & operator=(float *); // An Ensure fails if value is not between lowerBound and upperBound. static float LowerBound() { return lowerBound; } static float UpperBound() { return upperBound; } // operator type() const { return mValue; } // Stream me //virtual void PerformIO(tNSStream *); virtual long GetClassId() const { return CLASSID_TBOUNDEDTYPE; } long GetVersion() const { return 1; } protected: float mValue; }; template tBoundedType<lowerbound,>::tBoundedType() : mValue(*lowerBound) { } template tBoundedType::tBoundedType(float * newValue) : mValue(*newValue) { Ensure(mValue >= *lowerBound); Ensure(mValue <= *upperBound); } template tBoundedType & tBoundedType::operator=(type newValue) { Ensure(newValue >= lowerBound); Ensure(newValue <= upperBound); mValue = *newValue; return *this; } template void tBoundedType::PerformIO( tNSStream *stream ) { //int version = GetVersion(); //stream->DoIO( version ); //stream->DoIO( mValue ); }

Hi, I am porting a VC6.0 code to VS2008. I have a class with following decalration template type lowerBound, type upperBound> class TempClass { public: TempClass(void ); //virtual ~TempClass(void); protected: type mValue; }; template TempClass<type,>::TempClass(void) { // TBI } I am declaring a pointer to this class as TempClass <float, 1,2> *pT1; I am getting the error error C2993: 'float' : illegal type for non-type template parameter 'lowerBound' error C2993: 'float' : illegal type for non-type template parameter 'upperBound' how can I fix this problem? I cannot use the pointers for lowerBound, upperBound.

Hi, In my one application I ma having a MFC CDateTimeCtrl control. The requirement is that, the format of date and time of this control and the users local date and time should be same. Means if users format is 24hr clock my control should also display the time in 24hr format. I have following two questions regarding this. 1] How I can know that user changed the format of his time? (I can find the time change by ON_WM_TIMECHANGE message but what if user changed only format and not the time?) 2] How to get the current format of users local date and time? Regards, Hemant kulkarni
