Author Format Hex values

There's a structure called NumberFmt that allows the formatting of
numeric values. Is there a similar structure that takes Hex values and
checks the validity of the hex value?

Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, since NUMBERFMT is primarily intended for
specifying a particular number (base-10) representation. It doesn't actually
validate anything.

If you're trying to format a hexadecimal number as a string, you can use the
sprintf_s family (for CRT and Win32), CString::Format (for MFC), or
System::String::Format (for .NET).

Do you want to format a hex number, or to parse it? See strtoul for
parsing, sprintf for formatting.
