Hi Friends,
While i was trying to install VS2005, I got so many errors. especially errors related to "cab" files.
Here i just want to share how i fixed them.
Hoping this will be helpful to the people,who come across this kind of errors.

Steps :
______

1)Remove the network cable from your machine.
2)Uninstall the "Anti-Virus" program.I don't know how it will effect the installation.
3)It is preferred to copy the CD contents to a sample folder in the C drive and then install the setup.
4)Whenever you get "cab" file corruption error.Try to copy the file to some other location and again try to replace the original file with the copied file.(though the two files are same). and then click on retry..(It worked for me.)

I am not hundred percent sure,whether all these things are going to work.But it worked for me.

Comments welcome.

Thanks. Smile | :)

Hi everybody!

I want to transfer the files saved in a particular time interval.... for that should i find the last accessed time or last modified time of the file?
Which of these has to be found if it is a folder?

Thanks!

Since you are looking for files that have been saved (read: written to the disk, thus modified), I would look for the last modified date/time, not the last accessed date/time.

Peace!

Re: How I can add elements in multiple columns in a OWNER Drawn List box?

Ya got it.
But What I am trying to say is....

I have already developed an application with OWNER DRAWN List Box. But the concern is the elements are displayed in a single column....one below the other.
Now the list contents are large in number, SO I want to minimize users efforts to scroll the list box by clicking on scroll arrows.

I want to load the list box contents in multiple columns so that he can see more than one contents in a single row and will not have to scroll much.

Thanks

Greetings,

I was led to believe that SYSTEMTIME is a UTC time.

Why then when I set my clock to the timezone (Baku GMT +04:00) with dayliight savings on (I have advanced to July 2007 so DST is in effect) i call CTime::GetAsSystemTime() I get the local time in the wHour, wMinute etc... structure members?

SYSTEMTIME myTime;
CTime temp= CTime::GetCurrentTime();
temp.GetAsSystemTime(myTime);

Eventually all i want to do is given the Local Date/Time get the Local Date/Time @GMT Start of Day

e.g. for Local Time 12th July 2007 3:00am (GMT +4:00 DST), the GMT day actually started on 11th July 19.00am (GMT +4:00 DST).

Appending data to a file

Programm3r13-Mar-07 1:27

13-Mar-07 1:27

Hi all,

I'm trying to append data to a file. I have tried the following without success:

HANDLE hFile;
char buffer[BUFSIZE];
DWORD dwBytesWritten;
DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite;
BOOL fSuccess;

hFile = CreateFile(TEX("C:\\testing.txt"),
		GENERIC_WRITE,
		0,
		NULL,
		OPEN_ALWAYS,
		FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
		NULL);

sprintf(buffer,"%s",tcpClass.transRequest);//transRequest contains the data (characters)

fSuccess = WriteFile(hFile,
	buffer,
	strlen(buffer)+1,
	&dwBytesWritten,
	NULL);

The problem is that the data doesn't append to the end of the file.
for example:
example1
example2
example3
...

Can anyone please help me.
Many Thanx
Regards,

Try using the SetFilePosition(...) function to set the "file pointer", which is the location you are reading/writing from, to the end of the file before writing to it.

Peace!

Programm3r13-Mar-07 1:49

13-Mar-07 1:49

dwPtr = SetFilePointer (hFile, lDistance, NULL, FILE_END) ;

Yes, this would work. Would the SetFilePointer() function be used to replace the \r\n ??

Thanx for the response.

   No. The \r\n just indicates (in a MSDOS-style text file) the end of a line. That has nothing to do with where in the file you are currently writing at.

   Think of the file like a piece of paper - after getting it, you have to decide where to start writing on it. You can either write on top of other stuff that is already there, or move to the end where there is empty space.

   Peace!
