The long data type doesn't work like that - 00123 and 123 are identical, because they are stored internally as a binary number, instead of the characters that make up the digits. If you go the other way, look at this:
<br />
long l=123;<br />
CString str, str2;<br />
str.Format(_T("%.5d"), l);
str2.Format(_T("%d"), l);
Note that if you write:
<br />
long l=0123;
Then a C/C++ compiler will treat the literal value as base-8 (octal) instead of base-10 (denary).

Leading zeros on a number has no significance to the value itself.
123, represented as a number implies an infinite number of leading zeros!.
123 == 0123 == 00123 == 000000123
If you, however, need to display your number with leading zeros, then you can either stick with your string representation, or use something like:
<br />
CString strValue;<br />
long nValue = 1234;<br />
<br />
strValue.Format(_T("%.6ld"), nValue);<br />
<br />
std::cout<<(LPCTSTR)strValue<<std::endl;<br />

Really? Tried e.g. sscanf lately? As any good C or C++ programmer should know, any number (including literals within the program itself) having a leading zero is an octal number.
Now, let's try to rephrase that statement.

Sorry. Didn't realise I had to take into account all the number bases on the face of the planet as well! I was commenting on the representation of any number by the system.
See Ian Darling's comment above. He probably has made it more clearer.
So let me rephrase that:
With respect to our natural counting system, .....

I see this is a student id#. Even though this is a number in most cases it is better to leave it as a string. But if you want to save space and you know it is a fixed # length you can add the leading zeros back when you display the number. Try something like printf("%05d",l); will make it back to 5 digits by adding leading zeros.

Anyone know how to force a socket to close in user mode that may be running in another process. Not wanting to to have to write my own firewall here, but from what I can tell so far, its either writing my own Winsock layered service or writing a kernal mode driver to hook into the network stack, which I don't really trust myself to do. I'm not wanting to look at things at the packet level, just stop inbound connections on particular ports from a range a IP addresses that I want my app to decide on the fly.
I'm wanting simply to block connections from IP addresses I choose on ports I choose easily. I know there are things out there, but I'm wanting to have a go myself.
From what I can tell, this seems much easier on Unix that Windows.

Kill that process or shut down the NIC.

Did you try to google first? Yep, pcap seems to be what you want.

Sadly, no can do. At worst all I want is a socket error returned back to the process or a disconnect, and hope it handles it properly.
Even better, would be to stop a listening server even seeing the incoming request, but likewise I need to stop the outbound request to one of those IP addresses. Its kind of a firewall, but the thing is the rules are being made up on the fly, so I can't just conifgure and ordinary firewall and leave it.

I've been googling all day, though not for the right thing. Thanks. 
This seems to be much more on the right track, though I can't seem to download the file right now.

Glad to be of help. Information overload, eh?  It's hell when you know something like this just have to be out there, but no matter how one tries to restrict the searches one gets like 100k hits back.
If you need source code, it's often quite useful to add "source code" (with the quotes). Another place to look at (and you would have found libpcap there also) is freshmeat. Even that it's mainly GNU/Linux stuff, there are quite a few Win32 (compatible) projects there also. Oh, I might add that's another keyword for Google - Win32.

I found something, but I don't know if it's usefull.
MSDN:
_getch
Requirements
_getch <conio.h> Win 98, Win Me, Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP
Return Value
Returns the character read. There is no error return.
Remarks
The _getch and _getwch functions read a single character from the console without echoing. _getche and _getwche read a single character from the console and echo the character read. None of these functions can be used to read CTRL+C. When reading a function key or an arrow key, each function must be called twice; the first call returns 0 or 0xE0, and the second call returns the actual key code.
That would make:
<br />
char ch;<br />
<br />
ch = _getch(); <br />
ch = _getch();
Don't forget:
#include <conio.h>

You are programming for DOS. What is that??  Just kidding. I have not worked with a complier that would produce DOS code in the last 7 years... The stuff about _getch() that Xander80 said should work in dos.

I am maintaining a service that uses ReadDirectoryChangesW() calls to monitor a set of directories. When a file is dropped (or pasted or copied) into the monitored directory the service detects the new file and processes the new file.
I want to make sure the file is "all there" before taking any action on the file. Currently the service does a "_stat" call to get the file size and then tries an "_sopen" to make sure it is accessible. If either call fails it performs a set of retries.
Occasionally this setup fails. For example, a set of three files are being pasted into the monitored folder and the service fails reading the first file. When I check the folder...none of the files are there!!! Not sure, but somehow the Explorer copy/paste operation is being halted by the file tests. Any ideas? Is there a better way to see if the pasted file exists and is available?
PS: The copy/paste is being done between a local drive and a mounted network drive.

1. I use GetFileAttributes() to determine if a file 'exists'.
2. There are 'known' issues with _sopen and network drivers. Especially caching problems. I think you should use a Win32 API instead for checking for the ability to open the file. Look at CreateFile and the flag OPEN_EXISTING.

Blake,
Thanks for the reply! Do you think that the symptoms I am seeing could have to do with the 'known' issues? Any idea where to get more info on those issues? (any docs out there? what criteria might I search the web with?)
I will give the CreateFile a try. Any suggestions on what flags to use? Should I loop with a set of retries in case the file is still being transferred?
Thanks again!

Hello, how can I allow a CRichEditCtrl to copy/paste "normal text" e.g. from a CEdit-Control?
|
|
|
|

If you just want to add such a popup menu showing cut, copy, paste etc., see this article: http://www.codeproject.com/richedit/popupdemo.asp[^]. This way you can make your own context menu.
To programatically copy/paste something into the rich edit control, see functions CRichEditCtrl::Copy and CRichEditCtrl::Paste.

Hello ,
Iam developing a Secure browser .The secure browser needs to capture the events in an HTML Page and execute a DLL function.One way is to capture it in HTML page thru on-click handlers and call the DLL function from the HTML event handler( thru Java script).But this is not required .
What i need is to capture HTML page button clicks by the vc++ app which launches the HTML page .Iam using internet explorer's functions to display the HTML page .

Hello,
I'm sorry if I've already posted this message. I'm having some issues with posting. I'm developing an app on Windows 2000 using Visual .Net. It works fine on Win 2000, but I bring the app over to a PC running XP and it tells me I'm missing DLL's!!! Just as a test, I wrote a simple hello world program, and I still get the same error. I've tried the app on severl different PC's running XP and get the same error. What's going on? Is it an operating issue? Or is there something wrong with my .Net settings??? Thanks. Please reply to ttran7700@yahoo.com

It says it is missing msvcr70d.dll and msvcp70.dll. I've tried copying them and placing them into the systems folder on the XP, but it still can't seem to find them. Doesn't 70 refer to .Net 2002 and 7.1 refer to .Net 2003? Thanks for the help.

msvcr70d is obviously a debug library. I wonder if he tried to build a release.
Sincerely yours, Ilya Kalujny.

Do you have the compiler installed on all these XP machines?? The complier installs many DLLs that are not system DLLs.

msvcr70d.dll is a debug library, and is part of the .NET install.
Try building the program as a non-debug version.
OR install .net on the other machine.
