I would concur with the other reply, although if you actually gave us the error message, we could provide a better answer. If the problem is the resulting string from Date.Now, use the Format command to get the resulting string into the desired format.

Sure, GetWindowRect is not correct at OnInitDialog. Use GetWindowPlacement to get window position is a better idea. Chintse Wu/[^]

You're using WinForms, right, not MFC or vanilla C++ ? Why not iterate over the collection of open forms, or the child forms of the main form ?

Therefore I would have you look at this.[^] I don't know if I ever tried to use it in Dialogs, probably not since Dialog based apps are lame. However I used it often in MFC View based applications and it works perfectly. It may or may not help you and your thousand dialog problem. led mike

There are loads of articles on codeproject that relate to this. They're aimed at windows that change size as the user drags the edges with the mouse, but that's no different in principle. If you mean the dpi changes, then you can MapDialogRect to make your app like a dialog box, and change size proportional to DPI. Iain. Iain Clarke appears because CPallini still cares.

I think you can sort by the following codes. // Only UserName MyDateGrid.Source = MyDataView; MyDataGrid.Sort = "UserName"; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); // First UserName than date: MyDateGrid.Source = MyDataView; MyDataGrid.Sort = "UserName, theDate"; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); // First date than UserName: MyDateGrid.Source = MyDataView; MyDataGrid.Sort = "theDate, UserName"; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); You also need a property that knows what the last sorthing method was. private string lastSortCommand = ""; if(lastSortCommand == "UserName" && currentSortCommand == "theDate") { MyDateGrid.Source = MyDataView; MyDataGrid.Sort = "theDate, UserName"; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); } else if(lastSortCommand == "theDate" && currentSortCommand == "UserName") { MyDateGrid.Source = MyDataView; MyDataGrid.Sort = "UserName, theDate"; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); } else { MyDateGrid.Source = MyDataView; MyDataGrid.Sort = currentSortCommand; MyDataGrid.DataBind(); } lastSortCommand = currentSortCommand; Haven't tryed it out, but I'll think i works.

You have a number of options. The first is to define an operator < for your class: bool operator<(const A &lhs, const A &rhs) { return lhs.y < rhs.y; } You would make it a friend of class A if it needs access to private members of the class. Another option is to define a predicate function and pass it to the std::list<...>::sort function. This option would enable you to have multiple sort orders. Example: class A { // ...Stuff missing... public: static bool SortByYPred(const A &lhs, const A &rhs) { return lhs.y < rhs.y; } // ...Stuff missing... }; Now call std::list<...>::sort like this: alist.sort(&A::SortByYPred); mehmetned wrote: alist.sort() only sorts the elements according to the first attribute defined in the constructor. The constructor has nothing to do with sort order. Steve

A cast will do the trick (pBase is a pointer to the base class). The fastest way if you're sure it's safe: static_cast<Dervied*>(pBase); The safest way (runtime checked): dynamic_cast<Dervied*>(pBase); You could use Boost's polymorphic_downcast[^] for a solution that uses dynamic_cast in debug builds and static_cast in release builds.

I can't tell. Is it a template? It doesn't look like one. What is type? Steve

It is mostly the same, I have ported most of my code to Vista. At most some Security issues have changed, but a lot of it makes sences. As ever "The best Windows ever" :laugh: Greetings from Germany

:confused:I am most intrigued by an application that requires an event to occur every second but to 1 billionth of a second accuracy, please tell us more... If you need +/- 1ns accuracy then because the windows OS family are not real time operating systems this will not be acheivable, perhaps +/- 10ns but realistically +/- 100ns should be assumed. If this is not adequate, then in order to measure to 1ns with an acceptable error then you actually need sub nanosecond timing solutions. Have you calculated what level of error you can tolerate in the application to which this problem pertains?
