• AmatuerCoder Dialog Resizing in Japanese XP

  In an 8-year old MFC/MDI project under Visual C++ 6.0, I use the default 8-Pt. MS San Serif.  For the first time I have heard from a Japanese XP customer that the dialog is being resized and labels are being shifted and/or truncated.  Experimentation showed that I could easily reproduce the behavior just by changing font dialog.  I assumed that XP was replacing an unknown font with some more universal font.  However, 8-Pt.

  Hi All, I am a beginner in VC++ and I would like to ask a question here. As I had migrated a VC++ project from VC6 to VC7. The program can be built successfully but the program fails to execute.

• Anthony King How to link to the correct STL library when a third party dll is based on VC6?

  I have a third party dll targeted for VC6 and .net 2003. It worked well with my old MFC application. After it was migrated to VC 2005, it throws an exception of access violation whenever the stl string information in the object is accessed. Accessing other members of the object is OK. I guess it might be linked to the stl.net library instead of the old stl library that the dll is based on. Anyone knows what is the problem  and how it c ...Show All

• doobey Release object code seems now incompatible with debug object code

  Prior to Visual Studio 2005, it was possible to link together C and C++ .obj files which were a mix of release (compiled using /MT) and debug (compiled using /MTd) builds. I'm finding with Visual Studio 2005, that the size and layout of C++ class objects which have STL container data members now varies between the debug and release builds, such that this linking of mixed build objects no longer works. Is there a way I can compile my releas ...Show All
