Tom Archer5-May-02 16:28 Tom Archer 5-May-02 16:28  Yes, it is now gone. However, you will rarely even notice as you can still define things as CString and the CStringT will automatically be used. You can see this if you construct a CString and step into its construction. You'll find that you're in the CStringT constructor Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Author, Visual C++.NET Bible A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the af Re: What happened to the old CString class, in VC++ 7?

Paul M Watt5-May-02 19:46 Paul M Watt 5-May-02 19:46  The good thing about having the CStringT template class, is that you can now use both the char and wchar_t type CStrings in your program. Previously the compiler would choose one or the other versions based on your __UNICODE definition.

Help with _lfind ? Learning5-May-02 13:03 Learning 5-May-02 13:03  I was looking through the help for " _lfind " function but having trouble using it. Could anyone help please? This is my situation I have three CString Variables: m_strEnterData, m_strFindData, m_DisplayResult m_strEnterData has the input string. m_strFindData has the string I am searching in m_strEnterData. m_DisplayResult is where I want to display the result I saw the syntax for _lfind in the help but having trouble fitting it for my scenario. Can someone help ? Thank you so much. This board has been a lifesaver. M Re: Help with _lfind ? Gabriel.P.G5-May-02 15:00 Gabriel.P.G 5-May-02 15:00  i´m not a MFC guy so i might be wrong but try this... int index = m_strEnterData.Find( m_strFindData ) ; if( index != -1 ) // has it found it? { m_DisplayData = m_strEnterData.Mid( index, m_strFindData.Length() ) ; } Gabriel Old C programmers never die. They just cast into void Re: Help with _lfind ? Nish Nishant5-May-02 15:16 Nish Nishant 5-May-02 15:16  Do you mean you want to search m_strEnterData for m_strFindData and then put the index of the location into m_DisplayResult? If so, why should m_DisplayResult be a CString? If not, what's supposed to be in m_DisplayResult ?

Custom Draw Gabriel.P.G5-May-02 11:16 Gabriel.P.G 5-May-02 11:16  Anyone managed to use custom draw on toolbars? I´m getting the notification messages but some options doesn´t seem to work, and the others are really poorly documented. I want to use "clrBtnHighlight", but the docs say that the item should have the tbstyle_marked to function properly, and searching for this style on the web i´ve only found "Version 4.71. The button is marked. The interpretation of a marked item is dependent upon the application". Any help would be appreciated Gabriel Old C programmers never die.

I omitted mentioning the CString::ReleaseBuffer in this example because I assumed that the CString would not be used any further. I should probably include a sentence about using the CString::ReleaseBuffer when prescribing the CString::GetBuffer function.
