Try using the LARGE_INTEGER data type. Text between asterisks is text quoted directly from the MSDN documentation on the data type

***********************
LARGE_INTEGER

The LARGE_INTEGER structure is used to represent a 64-bit signed integer value.

Note Your C compiler may support 64-bit integers natively. For example, Microsoft® Visual C++® supports the __int64 sized integer type. For more information, see the documentation included with your C compiler.

typedef union union
{ struct
{ DWORD LowPart;
LONG HighPart;
}; LONGLONG QuadPart;
} LARGE_INTEGER, *PLARGE_INTEGER;
*************************************

hope this helped!

Darn. Beat me to it. I was going to suggest doing something similar and then using the standard CArchive operators on the smaller bits.

I once wrote an extension to the CArchive class that handled serialization of the __int64 type. I can send it to you if you'd like.

First of all, you can send it, it never hurts to share someone elses wisdom.
Second, I already utilized the Write/Read functions of the archive.

Thanks!

I prefer to write a global operator>> and operator<< for datatypes like this, so that I can still use the syntax of a stream operator with the archive.

<br />
CArchive& operator<<( CArchive& archive, __int64 value )<br />
   {<br />
   archive.Write( &value, sizeof(__int64) );<br />
   return archive;<br />
   }<br />
<br />
CArchive& operator>>( CArchive& archive, __int64 value )<br />
   {<br />
   archive.Read( &value, sizeof(__int64) );<br />
   return archive;<br />
   }<br />

This works for simple data types. I use this for bool as VC6.0 doesn't implement serialization for bool, but this should also work fine for __int64.

Best regards,
John

Thanks for the tip! But don't forget to pass in the second parameter of operator>> by reference (__int64& value). Then it works perfectly!

Custom Build for Empty Project?

I have an empty Visual C++ 6.0 project that I use to build a bunch of projects (by setting them as dependant projects). But before I start building I want to update the build numbers in the resource files of these projects.
I created a little app. for this, but I can't seem to find a way to kick it off, because my empty project does not have a custum build step.
Anyone got a clue on how to do this?

What I'm trying to do is as follows: I've DialogA and DialogB. DialogA has a EDIT BOX (say EBOX1). Dialog B consists of a Button (say BUTTON1). When I press BUTTON1 on DialogB, I want a message to appear on EBOX1 of DialogA.

I would like to use the API SetDlgItemText

Suggestion very much appreciated.

Re: POINTER TO DIALOG

you need to pass DialogA to DialogB to be able to access it.

something like this draft :

...
/// dlgA already created somewhere.
DialogB dlgB;
dlgB.SetOtherDialog( &dlgA );
...

DialogB::SetOtherDialog( DialogA* pDlgA )
{
  m_pDlgA = pDlgA;
}
...
DialogB::OnButtonClick(/*whatever*/)
{
  if ( m_pDlgA != NULL )
  {
    m_pDlgA->SetTextOnControl( /* some text */ );
  }
}

You'll need to set up a DEVMODE for each page orientation and call ResetDC to change the current orientation from/to Portrait or Landscape.
