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.
REFERENCES
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"));
