CTime driving me mad. 1

[mcowen]

I have been trying to work out how to add 15 mins to a CTime object. It doesn't appear to be straightforward although there is an operator+ function.

Also, if I try to do the following code that comes from an example in the MSDN literature I get a very strange error...

CTime thetime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();

Gives me (just run from main)....

Compiling...
test.cpp
Linking...
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __endthreadex
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __beginthreadex
Debug/test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

test.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Try adding a CTimeSpan to the CTime
eg

CTime theTime;
theTime.GetCurrentTime();
//CTimeSpan constructor (days,hours,minutes,seconds)
CTimeSpan tsTemp(0,0,15,0);
theTime = theTime + tsTemp

There is something wrong with your project settings. Your current setting is "not using MFC DLL". But CTime is really a MFC function. You have to go to projects->settings->Microsoft Foundation classes to select "using MFC" (either a static libray or a shared DLL).

Thanks all.

Sorry missed a bit

theTime.GetCurrentTime returns a CTime, it doesnt store the current time in theTime

should have been theTime = theTime.GetCurrentTime();
or theTime = CTime::GetCurrentTime();
