N2E - Number To English Translation

This is a simple, yet invaluable class that enables you to display the textual representation of a number. Since the possible uses of this class are endless (e.g., check writing applications, contract applications, etc.) hopefully it will come in handy for many of you as well.

Input: An integer between 0 and 999,999.
Output: Correct English (dictionary rule) of the words representing the number (as a CString).
Note: If the integer is out of range, the resulting CString will be "Number is out of range"

Example Usage

void CN2EDlg::OnBconvert() 
{
// Convert button was clicked, grab the number (integer), 
// and turn it into english
// Print the value back to the dialog box

 UpdateData(TRUE);

 CNumber2English number;
 m_sEnglish = number.n2e(m_iNumber);

 UpdateData(FALSE);
}
