Hi all,
Here is the way I handle error codes in my applications using "printf" c-standards.
printf("Error in recording data. GetLastError reports %d\n", GetLastError());
I want to do this formating using standard C++, mean using "cout" function. How can I do that formating.
I appreciate your help all the time...

#include <iostream>
std::cout << "Error in ... reports " << GetLastError() << std::endl;

Thanks a lot.
Oki, here is quite similar problem. I want to write some data to a file. First I include header to a file.
outFile << "File Name\tGroup ID\tDate Created\tDate Last Access\tFile Size\tNo. of Messages\n\n";
Then write there relevant values to it as follows.
outFile << strName << "\t" << strID << "\t" << osCre.str() << "\t" << osAcc.str() << "\t" << iSize << "\t" << mesCount << endl;
But after writing it both headings and values are not aligned with each other correctly. How can I format that.
I appreciate your help all the time...

I think the wonderful world of manipulators [^] is waiting for you.

There was a std::setpic in the older version MSDN sample code. But it is removed today.

Never heard about (but I'm not that stream classes guru, of course).

Never mind.
I am a newbie to iostream.

The \t is what's messing you up. Use setiosflags(ios::left) and setw() in the stream instead.

I am new to programming ... I am using Windows Vista 32 bit at home Laptop.
I need some help to start the Programming especially using VC++ because I am interested in embedded development.
Please suggest me where to start from...

You need a copy of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Platform Builder.

thanks, but how about first starting with some basic operations such finding the processor speed or may be handling the disk space???

You said you are going to do embedded programming. You have to decide what target platform you are doing first! If you are not doing Windows CE or Windows Mobile, you have to use another compiler.

As I told that I am a complete beginner, so I will have to understand the processor architecture first ???

There is some difference between beginning from Visual C++ and beginning from WinCE Platform Builder. The target platforms and the compiler environments are different. So you have to decide what you really plan to do for your career.
1) Visual C++ 2005 or 2008 can do some smart device applications (some types of application for embedded systems), but not that almighty comparing with WinCE Platform Builder.
2) Embedded Visual C++ can do more things than Visual C++ 2005/2008, but it requires the SDK export from WinCE Platform Builder.
3) WinCE Platform Builder does not have a too much good editor, but it can do all the embedded programming for WinCE.
But yes they both are in C/C++. Therefore starting from Visual C++ to learn basic C/C++ syntax is a choice for you.

Not necessary! You have to learn the language syntax first. And then learn the endianness of byte orders of each types of processors (x86, x64, IA64, ARM, 8051, ...). And then maybe necessary to know the architecture of a processor; or maybe not when not necessary. It would be many years later.

What does his career have to do with his embedded project?

OK. Maybe just to be his interest, to make some embedded programs, to enrich his own PDA, GPS, smartphone ...

I think yes he wants to learning programming and then other things.

For the latter, there's GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(). For the former, see these:

Thanks for the links...
Now can embedded programming help in providing network security??
|

Thanks I find it very helpful. First I will go through the examples and then I would start the development practices...
|

After read that site you can back to the codeproject and see examples in this site.

Hi I am going through that site right now. and am finding it very very helpful. thanks
|
|

|
Thank you but I dont know why I got vote down on my previous reply?
|
|

I am a liitle bit aware of VC++ as my MCA project was on that using ORacle in the back end. But I lost the practices as I did not have resources to work on. Now since I have significant resources I am getting back in programming again. That's why I was seeking some help.
