COleDateTime

[msm...@tiac.net]

What is the best way to calculate x number of days from a COleDateTime
member??

I started to think that if I could convert the COleDateTime to a DATE
which it does say you can do I figured I could just add 7 or 5 or
whatever number of days that I wanted to add and then create a new
COleDateTime member with the new DATE.

However I have not figured out how to use this function of the class
Here it is from the help files ......

operator DATE( ) const;

Remarks
This operator returns a DATE object whose value is copied from this
COleDateTime object.
For more information about the implementation of the DATE object, see
the article Date and Time: OLE Automation Support in Programming with
MFC.

I am familiar with overriding operator = type stuff but not this one
yet

send mail to msm...@tiac.net

Use a COleDateTimeSpan (subtract req'd date from today's date) and use its
GetDays() function.

DATE is really just the double data type. It represents the number of days
since Dec. 30, 1889. To create a new COleDateTime object with is the
result of adding 5 days to another COleDateTime object, simply say

COleDateTime t, * pNew;
...
pNew = new COleDateTime( (DATE)t + 5 );

This is the cast operator. You can override the cast to
get diffent types. This is an example:

COleDateTime hour;

DATE d_hour=(DATE)hour; // in this line you are using the cast operator
