Hello,
I'm urgently looking for a nice little commandline tool (with stdoutput) to stamp the version of an executable (Major, Minor, Build).
Has anybody come across something?
Thanks,
Matthias

You can quickly create you own program to extract this type of information.
On nt, you have version.dll, which has windows api function GetFileVersionInfo.
Good luck.
Gerry.

I want to get the cchTextMax property of treeview item.
I'm using the following:
TVITEM tvitem;
tvitem.hItem = m_tree->GetSelectedItem();
tvitem.mask = TVIF_TEXT ;
m_tree->GetItem (&tvitem);
but it doesn't work
at the same time code:
TVITEM tvitem;
tvitem.hItem = m_tree->GetSelectedItem();
tvitem.mask = TVIF_IMAGE ;
m_tree->GetItem (&tvitem);
works correctly
|

|

You can't get just the length of the item's text. When you set TVIF_TEXT, the control expects you to pass in a buffer (along with its size, in cchTextMax). Since you don't have a buffer, the call fails.

Have you tried...
CString strText = m_Tree->GetItemText(m_Tree->GetSelectedItem())

Hi all,
What is best algorithm for get space between two dates ?
For example space between:
01-02-97 to 05-01-98 ???

If you're using MFC, the CTime class overrides the - operator and returns a CTimeSpan class, so you can use it as follows:
CTime vtTime1, vtTime2;
CTimeSpan vtSpan;
vtTime1 = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
Sleep(20000);
vtTime2 = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
vtSpan = vtTime2 - vtTime1;
ASSERT(vtSpan.GetTotalSeconds() == 20);
If you're using OLE DATE classes, try COleDateTime and COleDateTimeSpan which do similar things.

Thanks for your reply,
But my dates is string ...
I can't use of CTimeSpan ?

You'll need to convert the strings to date first.
The best way is probably COleDateTime::ParseDateTime:
CString vstrStart("25 January 1996");
CString vstrEnd("10/01/01");
COleDateTime vtStartTime, vtEndTime;
COleDateTimeSpan vtSpan;
vtStartTime.ParseDateTime(vstrStart);
vtEndTime.ParseDateTime(vstrEnd);
vtSpan = vtEndTime - vtStartTime;
int viDaysDifferent = vtSpan.GetTotalDays();
Hope this helps.

Do you mean the time between the two dates?
CTime start, end;
CTimeSpan diff = end - start;
or
time_t start, end;
time_t dif = end - start;

Hello,
I've heard the easiest way of doing COM development with C++ is by leveraging the ATL. Can anybody recommend a good book introducing a medium skilled C++ developer to using ATL?
Any help is appreceated.
Thanks,
Matthias

The Beginning ATL book from Richard Grimes et al is full of detail but very dry. I found it made more sense AFTER I read 'teach yourself ATL in 21 days' ( OK, I usually run from books that have a time frame attached to the title, but this is from one of the C++ unleashed guys and very good ). Between the two I feel I have a grasp on HOW to use ATL, and I've bought ATL Internals to help learn WHY it does what it does. I came close to buying Richard Grimes 'Professional ATL' book, but online reviews caused me to buy 'Creating Lightweight ATL components' instead. When they arrive I guess I'll find out if I chose poorly, but I have no doubt ATL Internals will rock.

Must be on the same reading list.
I have read all of these titles plus some others. While I have yet to find any one book covering the topic adequately, all of those mentioned here taken together form an excellent base of knowledge.
If I were to rank them I would get ATL in 21 days first to give a you start then move to ATL Internals and Professional ATL Programming.

Have you read Inside ATL from Microsoft Press?
I really like that book, and think it cover the topic adequately

Softcopy of the MS Press book'Inside ATL' is available with that book.

It's a complex topic so experiment and feel free to ask questions. You should absolutely learn and use STL over CArray et al. If you use ATL/WTL is up to you.

Hi, I'm just a beginner and I was just wondering what templates are? Are templates related to STL and ATL?
I heard that they are really cool.

The T in both ATL and STL stands for templates. You know how you can pass parameters into a function, like
RotateCube(x,y,z);
?? Well, imagine if instead of a function knowing it's getting, for example, 3 int's, you could actually pass in the type as a parameter ? That is what templates do. The classic example is a swap() function. If you wrote a function like this:
void swap(int & x, int & y)
{
int temp = x;
x = y;
y = temp;
}
That's great, but you'd need to rewrite it for floats, for CString, for any other parameter. Instead you can use templates:
template<class T> void swap(T& x, T& y)
{
T temp = x;
x = y;
y = temp;
}
You would use this as follows:
swap<int>(myint1,myint2);
The type passed in <> is accessable as a type in the function by using the name given at the top, typically this is T, but can be any legal variable name.
STL is a rockin' collection of container classes and algorithms that use templaes like this:
vector<int> myVector;
map<bool, CString> myMap;
so that the parameters passed in become the type held by the container ( map is a b-tree and holds two types per iteration ).
ATL is a template library that helps with the creation of COM objects. WTL is a template library that provides an alternative to MFC ( albeit unsupported and incomplete in comparison ).
Templates are a major reason the .Net CLR languages are incomplete - the CLR does not support them, neither does Java, to my knowledge. Templates make it easier to write broadly applicable functions, but they have one drawback. If you use, for example, vector and use it for three different types, then three copies of vector will be compiled in your code. It's not as bad as macros are for code bloat, but it's something to be aware of.

How do I programmatically get my IP 
Thanks

Q160215 - it's written in VB but gives you enough to look it up on the the API site.
or there's at least one articles about it on here eg. (http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/ipaddress.asp)

When I use:
"[MyField] ='"+sMyString+"'"
everything works fine unless there is a a single quote in sMyString. Then I get a JET error that a parameter is missing.
Any ideas?

I have an icon I am displaying, its a simple check. I need to display it in a few different spots simultaneously. Is there a way to do this without creating a spereate variable for each check, and using ShowWidow()?
