Hello!
GetFileSize() is WinAPI

My Access DB uses DD/MM/YYYY as do my text fields, but when I populate the list control (based on a code project sample) I get the format YYYY-MM-DD.
The offending line from FillData is
rgData = (LPSTR)rs->m_ppvData[nField];
Is there a directive I can give to OBDC to feed dates in as DD/MM/YYYY or should I be interpreting the contents of rgData?

You should not be assuming the date is in *any* format. A date is a date is a date, regardless of what format it is displayed in. If Access wants to display dates in DD/MM/YYYY format, fine. If you want to display dates in YYYY-MM-DD format, fine. For consistency, use the locale settings.

Check the Regional Settings applet in Control Panel.

Which is meaningless since you have not provided the type of rgData, rs, m_ppvData, or nField.

Thanks David, Regional Settings are as specified in your reply. When I return to a proper modem line, I will elaborate more - am currenly on a mobile phone at 14.4bps so one must be brief

Thanks for the tips David. I side stepped the issue by trapping the column in a dedicated 'FillData' routine and re formatted them as required. However I now have an issue getting a ColeDateTime field to communicate with an ACCESS Date/Time field. I may well change the access field to an integer and use the .dt repesentation of the ColeDateTime field to interface.

I have a TV tuner with a crappy app that controls it and no scheduler to record shows. I would write my own app to schedule the startup of the crappy app and the ALT-R to begin record and again to stop it.
Unfortunately all I know is that I have to send the app a certain message. Any clues guys? 
Thank you,
Andrei.
LATER UPDATE:
So I found you can use:
PostMessage(hwnd, WM_CHAR, WPARAM('^'), LPARAM(M)); for CTRL-M
But there appears 2 more questions in my mind:
a) How do you do it for ALT-R or ALT-F4? Any general rule?
b) How do you determine the handle of the window you want to send it to? Mine has "PCTV Vision" in the title. Any chance you have to use FindWindow?
TNX!

I like using Spy++ (part of the Visual Studio suite). It has several input methods - type the dialog name, 0x handle number, or select a cross-hair pointer and zap the window you want info on.

For your b) question, here's how:
HWND hwnd = ::FindWindow(NULL,"PCTV Vision");
Then you can call PostMessage using hwnd
For alt+f4, you could just use ::PostQuitMessage(0);
I am not sure at all on how to send (i.e: CTRL+M), but if PostMessage(hwnd, WM_CHAR, WPARAM('^'), LPARAM(M)); works, then PostMessage(hwnd, WM_CHAR, WPARAM('!'), LPARAM(R)); would do the job.
One more thing. If you are coding an MFC application, you will need to add ' :: ' in front of your PostMessage's and FindWindow's, since you want to play with HWND values, and not CWnd

Where do I start? I'm sure there's some interface or class that does the job...!

i'm totally lost on this.
How can I access variables from each page at the CPropertySheet level?
I have a modeless CPropertySheet running with 4 pages contained within - all pages really simple.
I have created my own "Save" and "GO" buttons that exist on the CPropertySheet. "Save" is supposed to collect all the values from the pages and fill a class structure visible at CPropertySheet level. "GO" calls save and then performs a function using the values saved in the class structure.
Any Help?
Johnny
Here is a snap-shot of my declarations (abbreviated for space)
class CFilePageDlg : public CPropertyPage
{
public:
bool UpdatePageData(bool bFromPage);
bool GetInputPathname(CString* szPathname); // tried w/o * also
private:
CString m_szInputPathname;
// other class stuff
}
class CConfigPropSheet : public CPropertySheet
{
public:
CFilePageDlg m_FilePage; // page 1
protected:
//{{AFX_MSG(CConfigPropSheet)
afx_msg void OnSaveConfigSettings();
afx_msg void OnGO();
//}}AFX_MSG
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
private:
CButton m_btnGo;
CButton m_btnSave;
};
// sample functions
bool CFilePageDlg::UpdatePageData(bool bFromPage)
{
CString szTemp;
if (bFromPage)
{
UpdateData(TRUE); // update variables from controls
m_editFileInputFilename.GetWindowText(m_szInputPathname);
}
return true;
}
void CConfigPropSheet::OnSaveConfigSettings()
{
CString szTemp;
m_FilePage.UpdatePageData(TRUE);
m_FilePage.GetInputPathname(&szTemp);
}

When the OK button is clicked, only those pages that were actually created will have valid/changed data on them. Therefore, you should override the OnOK() method in each page's class and do any saving (e.g., file, data structure) from there.
When does CConfigPropSheet::OnSaveConfigSettings() get called. m_FilePage.UpdatePageData(TRUE) relies upon the m_FilePage window to still exist.

Ok, I made the individual page member variables Public and then just accessed directly at the CPropertySheet level -- all worked! but why?
Johnny
class CFilePageDlg
{
Public:
CString m_szInputPathname;
};
void CConfigPropSheet::OnSaveConfigSettings()
{
MessageBox( m_FilePage.m_szInputPathname, "File Page Var", MB_OK );
}
// I also tried making the page's vars STATIC, but

Hey, folks.
All I wanted to do was...
I have a property page on a wizard, standard login with two edit controls, username and password. We default the username in some cases. The desired behavior is to set focus to the password if the username has text. Since we're in wizard mode, the user can back / next and hit this page multiple times, so calling SetFocus to the password field in OnInitDialog() would be insufficient.
So, naturally, I put it in OnSetActive(). Focus gets reset to username sometime after this function returns. Tried putting SetFocus in OnActivate(). Same results. Grepped the MFC code looking for SetFocus / SetCurSel calls. No dice. Burned incense. Sacrificed chickens. Still, the username (the first field in tab order), gets focus & text is highlighted whenever this page is displayed.
Anyone here fought this battle before? I'm running out of chickens, and nobody here likes my cooking anyway...
Thanks -

Hmm.. I think the return value of OnInitDialog() affects which control gets focus. If you create an ordinary dialog and override OnInitDialog(), the following code is emitted in the function body:
return TRUE;
Have you tried returning FALSE?

Hey, Jörgen.

Problem is, since this is a wizard, OnInitDialog does not get called every time the user navigates to this page. It's called only once, when the page is created. Typically, that's what OnSetActive is used for, but in this case even that doesn't work.
However, I think I'll try returning FALSE when I get to the office tomorrow just for the heck of it. Heaven knows I'm running out of ideas here, short of some really ugly hacks...
Thanks, man.

Howbout just calling SetFocus() when and for the control you want the focus on?

Yep, that's what I have in mind. The tricky part is when and where. Typically, you'd do your initialization work in either OnInitDialog or OnSetActive, but focus is set to the first control in the tab order after both of these have returned.

trying to create a CFrameWnd frame window as a child of a mainframe ( like other child frame windows and views )
m_pChildGridFrame->LoadFrame( ID_RESOURCE, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | FWS_ADDTOTITLE, this );
The frame is created, but not at the same level as the other windows, I can't put my other views on top of that one.
I'm pretty sure the "parent window" is not the good one.
Thanks.

Hello, a while ago I planned on programming with c/c++. The problem was the compiler. Now I have one but when I make just a simple program like: "hello world" the DOS screen will apear for just very short. Then it closes itself. I was thinking maybe it was logical because you just tell him to show "hello world" and then it quits by itself. So I made a program were you had to put 2 numbers in variables. I entered 2 numbers and pressed ENTER and the same thing happens. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hello!
Try to use getch() or _getch() at the end of the code.
This application quits, becuase there is no loop. So either solution is to create a loop.

Try using getch() after your final input
