• Reta Debugger's Bug?

  I encountered a weird thing about debugging in Visual Studio 2005 Professional. You could try it in your VS. May be it is a bug. 1. Make sure the "Debug" toolbar is dragged out. All the operation is on it. 2. Set a breakpoint. 3. Start Debugging from the Debug toolbar, wait until reach the breakpoint. 4. Stop Debugging and immediately Start Debugging. After you stopped debugging, it will take about 1 second that the "Stop Debugging" becomes ...Show All

• Nathan Griffiths Can I build a simple Console application that does not use Sxs.

  Basically I just want to build some simple console programs that I can move from system to system (2000/XP) as a single .exe without having to get into the detail of Isolated Applications or Side-by-Side Assemblies.

• pingping MessageBox memory leak/corruption problem

  I have a main thread that displays a message box using CDialog's MessageBox function. And there's another thread that exits the application. Termination of the MessageBox (without the user pressing "OK") is corrupting memory or causing memory leaks. In debug mode it says "user breakpoint is reached in code .. ". Is there a simple way to close the messagebox before terminating the application so that there won't be ...Show All

  I'm working on a legacy codebase where, for some functions, the declaration in the .H file and the implementation in the .CPP file differ with respect to the parameter names.

• Leitch Integration with GNU Emacs

  Many of my current projects involve coding for non-Microsoft platforms. I have found GNU Emacs to be a very useful tool and I would prefer to use it for my Microsoft Windows C++ development. I have had success with using GNU Make, GNU Emacs and bash from Cygwin on top of a Visual Studio 2005 Command prompt. I am able to use cl.exe as the compiler without any problems. This takes the place of g++ or CC from the UNIX environments as long as I chan ...Show All

• Peetzore windows.h not found...

  WOW, I can't believe this information isn't easier to find.  I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express, and then downloaded and installed the Platform SDK SP2.  NOTHING WORKS!  The Directories are not found and there is no apparent way to set them.  Apparently users have found a hack to make it work, but this is crazy.  It seems like the first Microsoft person to install this would notice that it doesn't work an ...Show All

  Hello I don't seem to be able to receive more than one message WM_KEYDOWN from the keyboard without to have to click on another window then click back on my window and press a key.
