1. Set a COleDataTimeSpan object (day) to a day
2. Set a COleDataTime object (date) to the desired month of the desired year
3. Build a loop of the incrementation (date += day)
while (1(sat) != date.GetDayOfWeek()) for two times
4. Now you (date) are at the second sat

COleDateTime dt(year,month,1,0,0,0);
int add = 14 - dt.GetDayOfWeek();
dt += add;

// Alternatively you can use    
// CMDIChildWnd* pChild = pFrame->MDIGetActive();
       
// !Get the active view attached to the active MDI child window!
CMyView* pView = (CMyView*)pChild->GetActiveView();
 
// !Get the active document!

• static_cast is used when casting between two related types, for instance from a numeric type to another. The conversion could generate a loss of data, but without the cast operator the code compile; the compiler could generate a warning.

  char a, b;
  int x = 123;
  double y = 123.456;
  a = static_cast<char>(x); // From int to char
  b = static_cast<char>(y); // From double to char
  </char></char>

• reinpterpret_cast is used when casting between two unrelated types, usually pointers, for instance from a pointer to a struct to a pointer to char. Without the cast operator the code doesn't compile; the compiler generate an error.

  POINT pt = { 10, 21 };
  unsigned char *pb = reinterpret_cast<unsigned>(&pt);
  // Print to screen the content of the structure in raw format
  for(int i = 0; i < sizeof(POINT); i++)
     printf("%02X  ", pb[i]);
     </unsigned>

foo *p = new foo;

foo *p = malloc( sizeof( foo ) );

• explicitly qualify it's definition with the inline keyword
• define a function in the body of a class

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{	
	// Test numbers - num1 declared as HEX,  num2 as DEC
	const unsigned int num1 = 0x1234, num2 = 1234;
 
	// We will use std::ostringstream for the conversion
	std::ostringstream oss;
	
	// First num to Hex
        // "0x" is optional if you don't need it you can use "oss << std::hex << num1;"
	oss << "0x" << std::hex << num1; 
	std::string strFirstNumHex = oss.str();
        // Clear the content of the string buffer for later use
	oss.str(std::string());
 
	// Second num to Hex
        // "0x" is optional if you don't need it you can use "oss << std::hex << num2;"
	oss << "0x" << std::hex << num2;
	std::string strSecondNumHex = oss.str();
        // Clear the content of the string buffer for later use
	oss.str(std::string());
 
	// First num to Dec
	oss << std::dec << num1;
	std::string strFirstNumDec = oss.str();
        // Clear the content of the string buffer for later use
	oss.str(std::string());
 
	// Second num to Dec
	oss << std::dec << num2;
	std::string strSecondNumDec = oss.str();
	
	// This line prints: Numbers in HEX: 0x1234, 0x4d2       Numbers in DEC: 4660, 1234
	std::cout << "Numbers in HEX: " << strFirstNumHex << ", " << strSecondNumHex << "\t"
	          << "Numbers in DEC: " << strFirstNumDec << ", " << strSecondNumDec;
 
	std::cin.get();
