SYMPTOMS
COleDateTime::Format("%D") fails to return the day in the object.

COleDateTimeSpan::Format("%D") fails to return the total days.



RESOLUTION
Instead of using Format use COleDateTime::GetDay or COleDateTimeSpan::GetDays to get the day value and use CString::Format to put it into a CString. The sample code below illustrates this using CString::Format.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Sample Code
COleDateTimeSpan span; // Set to 1 day 2 hours 3 minutes and 4 seconds span.SetDateTimeSpan(1,2,3,4);

CString str; str = span.Format("%D;%H;%M;%S"); // BUG:Day(s) is not found in CString

// Following is equivalent to the above str.Format("%02d;%s", span.GetDays,              (LPCTSTR)span.Format("%H;%M;%S"));

COleDateTime time; time = COleDateTime::GetCurrentTime; str = time.Format("%D;%H;%M;%S"); // BUG:Day is not found in CString

// Following is equivalent to the above str.Format("%02d;%s", time.GetDay,             (LPCTSTR)time.Format("%H;%M;%S")); (c) Microsoft Corporation 1997, All Rights Reserved. Contributions by Yeong- Kah Tam, Microsoft Corporation
