hi i started c++ today and already got a thing to do... but i dont know much about c++ so just wanted to get some help from you :)
i am using microsoft visual c++ if you need to know :)
is it possible by a button click to fill in the date in one edit box and year/week in another box ?
and if so, how do i do ? :D
you might want to start off smaller...........a lot smaller..........
it's not 100% impossible, but very improbable that you can create any windows programs without learning how to create console programs first.
edit: i suggest VB for a quick fix to your windows urges - but remember, it will only postpone the pain
ok i did a bit of c console to learn the basics and the program is a task i got at my job so i have to learn this the hard way i guess :eek:
I also suggest posting in the appropriate forum, i.e. the Windows Programming message board and not the C++ Programming board.
Perhaps a moderator can move this?
Moved.
My suggestion is to at least familiarize yourself with all the basic constructs. Then Google for a tutorial that teaches you how to use Visual C+ (never used it myself, so I'm afraid I can't make a recommendation there). Things like the time and date are available through the ctime header file (previously time.h)
I know there are alot of tutorials out there..(online)
however being myself a c++ noobi..I suggest a good book that is general and doesnt use a particular OS or compiler.
Im currently Reading through C++ a beginners guide by herbert schildt..and ive learnt soo much about c++ in a week..its just crazy!
just my 2 cents...
cheers

(if in usa try amazon.com)
good luck..I highly recommend this book
Petzold's 'Programming Windows' is the bible for WIN32 programming.
>>is it possible by a button click to fill in the date in one edit box and year/week in another box ?
Yes. MFC or WIN32?
When clicked the button will send a WM_COMMAND BN_CLICKED msg to the parents callback.
Use SetWindowText() to write to the edit. (sprintf() to format the string if using char's)
How are you geting the time/date?
Do you have the edits or are you starting from scratch?
it is MFC and i start from scratch but i might start off a bit smaller as misplaced told me cause i dont understand much of what i am reading at the moment :DQuote:
