COleDateTime::ParseDateTime issues under XP using VC++ 6.0

[paulcrowley]

I have previously developed all my source code under VC++ 6.0 under windows 2000.

I have upgraded my PC to XP and have now run into a problem using COleDateTime::ParseDateTime.

Whereas the following code fragment was working fine under any non XP windows machine, it now no longer works.

CString strDate;
COleDateTime coDate;

CTime tNow = CTime::GetCurrentTime();;
strDate = tNow.Format("%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S");
coDate.ParseDateTime(strDate);
strDate.Format("%d/%d/%d %d:%d:%d",coDate.GetYear(), coDate.GetMonth(), coDate.GetDay(), coDate.GetHour(), coDate.GetMinute(), coDate.GetSecond());

Whereas the COleDateTime variable coDate would be set to a valid date time via the ParseDateTime function, it is now no longer doing so under XP.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks.

I am having same issue with my application it works fine in WIN 2k but not working oin WIN XP and code I worked is as follow:

SetAvailability();


COleDateTime timeStart;
// COleDateTime timeEnd(30.0);
COleDateTimeSpan timePassed;

int daysLeft = 0;

HKEY hk;
DWORD dwDisp;

// Open the Registry key, if it doesn't exist, it will be created.
RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
"SOFTWARE\\AVTRON MANUFACTURING\\ADDAPT\\PARAMETERS",
0,
NULL,
REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
KEY_WRITE | KEY_READ,
NULL,
&hk,
&dwDisp);

// Check to see if the product code has been set in the registry entry.
int iRetValProdCode =
RegQueryValueEx(hk,
"USR:App Name\\ProductCode",
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL);

CAddaptApp* pAddaptApp = (CAddaptApp*)AfxGetApp();

if(iRetValProdCode != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
DWORD cbData = sizeof(pAddaptApp->m_dwProductCode);

RegQueryValueEx(hk,
"USR:App Name\\ProductCode",
NULL,
NULL,
(LPBYTE)&pAddaptApp->m_dwProductCode,
&cbData);
}

if(iRetValProdCode != ERROR_SUCCESS || pAddaptApp->m_dwProductCode == 0)
{

// Check to see if the install date has been set in the registry entry. If it doesn't exist, create
// the registry entry.

int iRetVal = RegQueryValueEx(hk,
"USR:App Name\\FirstInstallDateTime",
NULL,
NULL,
NULL,
NULL);

COleDateTime currDateTime = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime();

if(iRetVal != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
// Registry entry doesn't exist, create it, and set to the current date.
RegSetValueEx(hk,
"USR:App Name\\FirstInstallDateTime",
0,
REG_DWORD,
(LPBYTE) &currDateTime,
sizeof(currDateTime));
}

timeStart = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime(); // Date and time of the installation.

DWORD cbData = sizeof(timeStart);

RegQueryValueEx(hk,
"USR:App Name\\FirstInstallDateTime",
NULL,
NULL,
(LPBYTE)&timeStart,
&cbData);

timePassed = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime() - timeStart;
daysLeft = 30 - static_cast<int>(timePassed.GetTotalDays());

CString strMessage;

if (daysLeft <= 0)
{

CProductCodeDlg dlg;
dlg.DoModal();

if(pAddaptApp->m_dwProductCode != 0)
{
// Create the product code registry entry.
RegSetValueEx(hk,
"USR:App Name\\ProductCode",
0,
REG_DWORD,
(LPBYTE) &pAddaptApp->m_dwProductCode,
sizeof(pAddaptApp->m_dwProductCode));

}
else
{
return FALSE;
}

}
else
{

strMessage.Format(_T("ADDapt is operating under a trial license. \n")
_T("You have %d" " days to activate ADDapt with a valid license.\n")
_T("To activate, Please call Avtron Field Service at 000 000-1230 ext 1214. \n")
_T("Do you want to Proceed?"), daysLeft);

int iRespVal = AfxMessageBox(strMessage, MB_YESNO | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);

// User selected No, close the application.
if(iRespVal == IDNO)
{
return FALSE;
}
}
}

I am having same issue with my application it works fine in WIN 2k but not working on WIN XP

What exactly is "not working oin WIN XP" of what worked "in WIN 2k"?

Besides, you should use Code tags around your code snippet to make code formatted to easy read/understand it. See Announcement: Before you post....

I am having same issue with my application

I couldn't find "ParseDateTime" in your code. How is it "same issue"?
