Introduction
This is a program written for an A2-level computing project, and also my first program written in VC++, so it is a good sample for a beginner looking at databases and interfaces. I wish I had an example like this when I started my project!! There may also be a website published in due course related to this.
Background
There are several different techniques used in this program. They are as follows:
- ID3v.1 tag reading
- Interface to a .mdb database
- SDI user interface
- Progress bar in the status bar
- File finder
As I said, this is the first VC++ program I have actually written - I am much better at programming pascal, so any programming conventions that I have missed or any glaring problems that you find, please email me.
Using the code
Very simple interface, if you have any problems, read the documentation.
Please don't use this program in your own A2-level projects - took me ages to write and so you should write your own!!
Points of Interest
Took me about 100-150 hours to code this, even though it is very small in comparison with other programs! It has however inspired me to write other programs now I know how... Watch out for an encryption program coming sometime during the summer...
History
First release.. There is one known error related to drive selection - if you use D, it should be fine, but watch this space for improvements sometime after my exams.
