Actually I'm looking to get the timezone details from the system. I mean if you check the time zone drop-down menu you can see a large number of timezones list. What I want to do is read all of them and print on a console. Smile | :)

I appreciate your help all the time...

A time zone is simply the number of hours a particular area is from UTC. So you could get fairly close with something like:

for (int x = -12; x < 15; x++)
{
    if (x < 0)
        printf("UTC%d\n", x);
    else if (x > 0)
        printf("UTC+%d\n", x);
    else
        printf("UTC\n");
}

You can add this to a list of some sort, along with some familiar city located within each zone.

Thanks for your code.

I think there is one thing, which I can't do. The list of time zone names. Only I can get the systems' time zone informations. Is that right. When I go through the MSDN, that what I got.

I appreciate your help all the time...

Other than the convention that I provided, I do not know of a standard 'name' for time zones.

Ok, say I want to do this. User gives the time offset, say -6:30 as an example. Now I want to find the appropriate time zone name. From where I should find it?

I appreciate your help all the time...

When I move the dialog box I just want to paint the border. This is the deafult behaviour in Java/Swing. It avoids a lot of flickering and refresh problem.
Is there any easy way to achive this in wonodws?

What do you mean by this? Confused | :confused:

Windows is in a constant state of swapping data to/from disk.

This case of swapping: When the physical memory is full and Windows write memory data to disk for free physical memory. Smile | :)

David Crow20-Dec-07 3:41

So why would you want to detect, and subsequently act upon, something that Windows does almost non-stop?

Andre Rios20-Dec-07 5:23

I have this graph to explain my case :

The Virtual Mem is the Virtual Memory Size of the process.
The Used Mem is the Physical Memory used by the process.

Well, if you can find those two values in the Performance Monitor, the solution is rather simple.

In the AppWizard and CodeWizard directories of Microsoft Visual Studio there are some code template files. These templates contain string substitutions such as [!output CLASS_NAME]. Does anyone know where I can find a list of these 'variables' and what they are substituted with? Also does anyone know if it is possible to add ones own 'variables'.

I have the following string: "MA01234 TEST" and I want to replace the number part of the string with a value of (just an example) "43210 ". So how can I replace the value within the string? What function can I make use of?

Example:

MA01234     TEST
TO
MA43210     TEST

Can anyone please assist me.
Many Thanks in advance

Well, if your string fields have fixed format, then it is pretty easy (just replacing characters, I think you can figure how).
On the other hand, with variable field format you have to parse the strings to extract the numeric field (maybe the other ones) and replace it.
A powerful tool to do such string operations is a regular expression parser, like
Boost.Regex

The numbers that I provided was only an example it could have been alphabetic as well.

It is fixed and I'm not looking for the complete answer, but just want to know which function I can make use of to replace a part of the string from a starting location to a end location.

Thanks for the reply

Oh, if it is fixed you don't need functions at all (assuming ASCII strings):

int i;
char record[]="MA01234 TEST";
char new_field[]="43210 ";
for (i=0; i<6; i++)
{
  record[2+i]=new_field[i];
}

of course hard-coded numbers are ugly, but I think the concept is clear.
