• DamageInc Moving from VC 6.0 to VC 2005

  Hi all, I'm current investigating a way to move from Visual studio 6.0 to the lastest VS 2005. My project comprises with MFC, stl, and thirdparty libraries.

• Mad&amp;#42; How to write an App with no console window at all

  Hi I haven't written any C++ since VS6 so I'm rusty and please pardon me. I have a need for a very lean application which runs as a native mode executable with no accompanying libraries or manifest file. In other words this program behaves in the manner that a VS6 application would. I seem to recall that I could get a program to run without a console window by deassigning stdin and stdout but that may have been in a detached child proc ...Show All

• PV17 Compile error C2146 & C4430 when including DShow.h

  Hi all. Here is a description of my problem; I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 to compile some C++ code taken from the book i'm working through at the moment, MSPress: Programming DirectShow for Digital Video and TV. I have narrowed the problem to being due to the '#include "DShow.h"' directive. A simple working hello world app fails to compile as soon as DShow.h is included.... The compile time error is the following; Error  &nbs ...Show All

• Martín Misol stringizing __LINE__ in Visual C++ 2003

  Anyone know how to get around the problem with stringizing __LINE__ in Visual C++ 2003 when /ZI (Program Database for Edit & Continue) is used I'd rather not have to switch to /Zi (Program Database) and lose Edit & Continue. For example: # define _STR2_(x) #x # define _STR1_(x) _STR2_(x) TRACE(_STR1_(__LINE__));   Instead of a numeric value I get " (__LINE__Var+1) ".

• rev3nant visual c++ 6.0 vs visual c++ 2005

  I am looking forward to upgrade VC++ 6.0 to Visual C++ .NET 2005. But there are things I need to know before I do... 1. What are major changes in the "object class" structure ( if there are changes). 2. Do I need to make changes for the MFC libraries that I used while coding with VC++ 6.0 when I upgrade to VC++ .NET 2005. 3. In VC++ 6.0 I can use openGL and MFC together, and I can run OpenGL in a window with th ...Show All

• sashi34745 Inside SHGetFolderPath

• Keith Jones Registry editing

  I'm having trouble creating the code for a button to change a couple of registry keys. I've searched google for hours and hours now, but all the code I can find about registry editing doesn't work in my version (2005 beta 1). I can't even get the code from MSDN to work So my question is simple (I hope): Let's say I want that button to change the value from Username in the map HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Blasoft\3dgame\ to Savarage, how woul ...Show All

• jrmcdona Parameter incorrect - corrupt mixed mode image?

  After almost two days of linking problems I've managed to make my application link and now when I try to execute it I get a message box with the error "The parameter is incorrect". It looks like Windows doesn't even try to load the exe. What could be causing this It is a mixer mode exe with a few cpp files compiled with /clr ldSyntax. I've linked it with msvcrt.lib, msvcmrt.lib, MSVCPRT.LIB and mscoree.lib. If I remove mscoree.lib I get an unres ...Show All

• xulijie VC2005 %50 Slower then VC2003

  I just migrated a graphics application from VC2003 to VC2005.  After building it, I ran a small benchmark & found that VC2005 code was about %50 slower. The Application does a great deal of floating point and integer calculations.  It also converts doubles to int quite a bit (the VC2003 version used SSE to handle this). The VC2003 version used /G7 and /Ow (which are not available in VC2005) Compiler Switches Used: (vc2003)/arch ...Show All
