How do I use wsprintf with a float? I tried %f but it just printed f

If i use %i it cuts off the decimal...

%g for floats, %d for integers. -Walter

          wsprintf (szBuffer, TEXT ("c %g "), fEncumb);
          SetDlgItemText (hDlg, 28, szBuffer);

That is the code I tried but in the Dialog I end up with "c g"

Changing it to sprintf did work though....

Anyone know why?

Try replacing TEXT("c %g") with L"c %g".

Guys

Maybe I've missed something all these years, but I never thought that wsprintf handled floating point. The help for wsprintf certainly does not mention any floating point format sequences.

It should work just like sprintf, but for wchar's.

Walter,

No offense, but I think you're getting mixed up with swprintf - the wide
version of sprintf - which is an ANSI function. Steve is talking (as am I)
about wsprintf - the USER32 sprintf replacement (apart from floating
points) - which is a shorthand for all those people (wise souls, at least
when using MSVC) who do not wish to link to the C-runtime libaries. Neither
the ANSI (wsprintfA) or Unicode (wsprintfW) versions use floating points,
I'm afraid

Oh, I think you're right. My goof! I always have to stop and think if it's sw or ws. Argh.

No worries. I guess I'm more attuned only because I chronically spend so much effort in avoiding M$'s C-runtime library ...
