I wish the author of this article[^] had asked i4s' Siri: "which is better at searching: you or Android;" and asked whatever speech-input query engine his SkyRocket uses the same question inverted.
Interesting that, by the end of the article, the author changed his opinion, but left the original title intact (provocative = more hits ?).
best, Bill

Spot the mistake...
cb->SetWindowText ("pSettings->sColName");
Even VS's editor's colourising didn't help. I did spot it in testing though, so some dignity was salvaged.

Well, the quotes make it hard to get to the indicated pointer, but other than that, it looks fine (assuming you're using MFC).

It is perfectly legit code, so the compiler was of no help at all...
It did look odd in the running dialog though!

That's some funny stuff to deal with on a Monday morning!
So, you now have a button (or whatever cb is), that's labelled pSettings->sColName.

Nothing's wrong with it. It compiles and executes without error.
If it fails to do wanted you wanted then that's not the computer's problem. Perhaps you should lower your expectations and try again.

No error, "pSettings->sColName" is a quite descriptive text...

You must love filling in forms with "Insert Name here"...

Ah, a common error. Let me fix it for you:

The user should spot it quite quickly, in my opinion. The window/button/caption labeled "pSettings->sColName" is not intuitive in the UI...

It should have been:
#include "tchar.h"
...
cb->SetWindowText(_T("pSettings->sColName"));so that you could easily compile for either MBCS or UNICODE  .

Well done Annie, but well after the three hours allowed.

This article[^] does a good job dissecting the mangling, mauling and mutilation of contents on the path from paper to abstract to news bite.
I couldn't find a link to the original paper, though. Maybe it's actually about the bacon affinity of hamsters.
