A quick Win32 console application supporting MFC on the .Net 2003: The code issued for the compiler: // Create a CString object CString csText = "I rock the .pdv world !"; csText.Delete( csText.Find( ".pdv" ) + (int)strlen(".pdv"), 4000 ); AfxMessageBox( (LPCTSTR) csText, MB_OK ); This code fragment, when run, displays the console window and pops up a message box reading: "I rock the .pdv". Logical conclusion: the code works, and your assumption of it's non-functionality was misplaced. I know your reply comment was meant humorous, but please.. I am tired of fixing things that aren't broken just because there are people in the wide world who think they know better. I don't mean anything malicious with this nor do I want to make you feel bad in any way, but I just don't find it funny. If you believe that you have more accurate information over a matter, present it, and perhaps point out the things that are incorrect in the earlier postings. It's just that this time, I was correct, you were wrong, and the code worked flawlessly and did precise what it was supposed to do. Perhaps next time, the situation will be reversed, and I'll be the one in need of learning new stuff :) -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

ey guy, that was just... a joke! humor!!! :sigh: You're probably better than me in coding, so keep cool man ! TOXCCT

A CSV file is a "Comma Seperated Value" file for excel. In that file, the data for each cell is seperated with a comma and a row is seperated with a newline. Regards, Jijo. ;) ________________________________ Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, But today is a present.

I know Tim, You can crash it very easily, B'coz I haven't freed the memory, and there are a couple of other mistakes as well. But my intention was only to, break the conventional approach on converting a string to int. Its just stupid to think that, someone else will do all the jobs for U. You may have to correct the mistakes, if thr are any. "A robust program is resistant to errors -- it either works correctly, or it does not work at all; whereas a fault tolerant program must actually recover from errors."

Very seldom do I use streams so this might not work, although it should get you close: istream in; while (in.eof() == 0) { is.getline(temp, sizeof(temp)); // now do something with the line just read } A rich person is not the one who has the most, but the one that needs the least.

I agree with the previous poster. If you are using MFC either use CTime or COleDateTime and they both have a function to convert the time to a string in whatever format you need. John

Its very Simple. SYSTEMTIME systime; GetLocalTime ( &systime ); then systime.wDay is the Day systime.wMonth is the month and systime.wYear is the year. itn't it cool ? ;) Best Regards, Jijo. The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from.

Combo boxes only work with strings. They are "dumb" as far as data types, formating, etc. are concerned. If you want data from the file to go to a combo box, then you are responsible for reading in the data from the file, parsing the data, and adding the data to the Combo Box. Have you answered an MTQ? Check out the stats!

Just use a std::vector of CButtons. std::vector<CButton> m_Buttons; ifstream inFile; char buff[1024] = {0}; CString szBuff; inFile.open("YourFile.txt"); while !inFile.eof()) { inFile.getline(buff, sizeof(buff), chDelim); szBuff = buff; m_Buttons.push_back(CButton()); if(!m_Buttons.back().Create(static_cast<const char*>(szBuff), STYLEFLAGS, rectforbutton, this, uiSomeID)) TRACE("Error creating button"); m_Buttons.back().ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); } inFile.close(); - Nitron "Those that say a task is impossible shouldn't interrupt the ones who are doing it." - Chinese Proverb

CButton:Create() would be a great start :) Just call this function inside a for loop or something and space the buttons accordingly. You'll probably have to handle button clicks inside OnCommand() though instead of MFC message map function. Cheers I'm drinking triples, seeing double and acting single :cool:

First, the contents may be output to some file else if you use relative path like that, you better use absolute path to make sure the destination file is exactly which you expected. So type this instead: ofstream out("C:\\output.txt");. Second, you need to exam the stream first to make sure the destination file is ready to be written, so add this line right after you open it: ASSERT(out != NULL); Third, always close a opened file as soon as you are done with it, add this line at the end: out.close(); I have a strong feeling that your problem was caused by the first issue, you probably will find "output.txt" in your "My Document" folder, lol.

The simplest solution I can think of: BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs) { // TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying // the CREATESTRUCT cs cs.y = my.y; cs.x = my.x; cs.cx = my.cx; cx.cy = my.cy; if( !CNewMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) ) return FALSE; return TRUE; } INTP

cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing; if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo)) return FALSE; m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow(); or if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo)) return FALSE; m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow(); CChildFrame *childFrame=(CChildFrame *)pMainFrame->GetActiveFrame(); childFrame->PostMessage(SW_HIDE);

I don't understand why you have two calls to ParseCommandLine. The following implementation should be enough. BOOL CMotionControllerApp::InitInstance() { AfxEnableControlContainer(); // Standard initialization // If you are not using these features and wish to reduce the size // of your final executable, you should remove from the following // the specific initialization routines you do not need. #ifdef _AFXDLL Enable3dControls(); // Call this when using MFC in a shared DLL #else Enable3dControlsStatic(); // Call this when linking to MFC statically #endif // Change the registry key under which our settings are stored. // TODO: You should modify this string to be something appropriate // such as the name of your company or organization. SetRegistryKey(_T("Local AppWizard-Generated Applications")); LoadStdProfileSettings(); // Load standard INI file options // Register the application's document templates. Document templates // serve as the connection between documents, frame windows and CSingleDocTemplate* pDocTemplate; pDocTemplate = new CSingleDocTemplate( IDR_MAINFRAME, RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionControllerDoc), RUNTIME_CLASS(CMainFrame), // main SDI frame window RUNTIME_CLASS(CMotionControllerView)); AddDocTemplate(pDocTemplate); // Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo; ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo); CSplashWnd::EnableSplashScreen(cmdInfo.m_bShowSplash); cmdInfo.m_nShellCommand = CCommandLineInfo::FileNothing; // Dispatch commands specified on the command line if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo)) return FALSE; // The one and only window has been initialized, so show and update // m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED); // m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow(); return TRUE; } Is the ProcessShellCommand method overriden somewhere in your code?
