1. How do I generate a GUID on a PocketPC?
I don't think there is a function to create a GUID either, so I wrote a
simple function that creates a GUID string. This function conforms to
standard methods for generating a GUID (based on documentation I was able to
find).
The function puts the GUID in a VARIANT bstring....
BOOL CreateGuid(_variant_t *lValue)
{
TCHAR wGuid[37];
SYSTEMTIME systime;
FILETIME filetime;
// construct GUID
GetSystemTime(&systime);
SystemTimeToFileTime(&systime,&filetime);
DWORD tick=GetTickCount();
DWORD highWord=filetime.dwHighDateTime+0x146BF4;
// convert GUID to a string
wsprintf(wGuid,TEXT("%08.8x-%04.4x-%04.4x-%04.4x-%04.4x%04.4x%04.4x"),
filetime.dwLowDateTime,
LOWORD(highWord),
HIWORD(highWord |0x10000000),
LOWORD(rand()),
HIWORD(tick),
LOWORD(tick),
LOWORD(rand()));
*lValue=wGuid;
return TRUE;
}
