• BugaLugz visualizing #include tree graph dependency

  I put all those words in the title to facilitate people's future searches.  My question is: does anyone know of a  visualization tool that will show which files include which   I found text-based ones (e.g. Includes by adonovan@lcs.mit.edu ), that parse one .cpp file at a time.

• manthrax Problems on custom build step

  Hi folks, In a nutshell: I have a pre-link step which runs an in-house tool ("defgen") which used to work fine in VC6, but doesn't any more in VC8. While investigating it, I found out that: * the VC8 environment is not present for custom tools (namely, the variables set by VCVARS32.bat are undefined when the tool is run from the VC8 IDE) * (more serious) it seems that the IDE replaces the STDOUT of external tools with its own handler - which eff ...Show All

  Hi, I need to remote debug my debug bits on a test machine (due to hardware configuration).

• Bennie9425 Dumpbin not showing MSVCR71.dll

  hi I am using Visual studio .net 2003 7.1 version. I have an executable built in this IDE and it uses some 3rd party dlls. When I use dumpbin /dependents on the debug version of this executable, it shows me the MSVCR71d.dll as one of its dependents and I checked the debug version of the 3rd part dlls and it showed me the same MSVCR71d.dll. This way I was able to confirm both my exe and the 3rd part dlls are using the same CRT. Now I wa ...Show All

I want to use the combo box to overlay portions of a list control to allow chosing options for "fields" in the list control.
