DWORD to CString

[noble]

I'm converting a DWORD which represents a CRC to a string.

This works fine but whenever the DWORD is preceded by a
zero, it's truncated and not included in the string.

_itoa(dwChecksum, buffer, 16);

Is there another way to do this without losing that first zero?

You could always convert it, then see how many characters there are.

Or, you could use a stringstream to do it for you:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <iomanip>

void somecode() {
    ostringstream oss;

    oss << setw(8) << setfill('0') << 6574;

    string whatever = oss.str();
}

thx, i had the value in a CString so i just tested to make sure the
length was 8 and added a '0' otherwise

Or use the CString::Format function. I works like sprintf.
