• EMarcusSmith Has anyone at Microsoft actually used VC++ Express B2?

  I haven't used Microsoft's Visual C++ since version 6. I've always thought Microsoft makes the best software development IDEs by far, but the compiler was extremely lacking. I figured I'd try Win32 GUI development again (I do mostly Unix or cross-platform non-GUI), so, 1) I downloaded Visual C++ Express Beta 2 and installed it. 2) It didn't compile anything successfully, including  "Hello, World" (See this thread for those looking for a ...Show All

• Richard_Wolf Resize managed array inside a function

  Hi, I'm having a little problem using managed arrays. It seems I can not resize an array with Array::Resize within a function. I wanted to do something like this (pseudocode): void manipulatearray(array<int> ^test) { // in reality this function processes some data (unknown how much elements, taking 10 for the example) and fills the array with it System::Array::Resize (test, 10); for(unsigned int i = 0; i < 10; i++) ...Show All

• KYoung Converting System::String to Int32 and back again in hex in C++

• M. Pfennig ActiveX control width and height

  I need to find out the width and the height of an ActiveX control. Once the control is drawn on the screen, getting the size is no problem. However, I need to know the size BEFORE the control is drawn, since I need to create a graphics backbuffer for off-screen drawing. (Ideally, in the constructor or the WM_CREATE message handler.) Theoretically, I would just want the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters of the HT ...Show All

• JALenz Manifest file when using both /MD and /MDd DLLs

  I have an application that can be built in debug (/MDd) or release mode (/MD). This application uses third-party DLLs that are built with /MD; for example the Microsoft PDH.DLL. There is no memory-mismatch issue since these third-party DLLs handle properly all memory allocations/deallocations. When I build my application in release mode (/MD), everything works. When I build it in debug mode (/MDd) and run it, I get the&n ...Show All
