• DiegoV mbsrtowcs link errors

  I'm using mbsrtowcs to convert a char[] to a wide, and I'm getting link errors I can't comprehend.  The actual code is in a C++ library, which compiles OK, but when I use this library in a C or C++ exe I get unresolved external symbols __imp__mbsrtowcs and void __stdcall _com_issue_error(long)" ( _com_issue_error@@YGXJ@Z ).

• CSharpitpro Unlinking the CRT...

  Here's a fun question: how do I get the CRT out of a project, utterly and completely The project in question is a mixed-mode C++ DLL. /NODEFAULTLIB leaves me with dozens of link errors to CRT functions that I'm not calling from my code so I'm assuming the compiler is sneaking stuff in on my behalf (how very kind of it). What functions do I need to implement on my own and how do I do that Some of the more obvious ones like atexit I've already ta ...Show All

• vthacker CFileDialog.DoModal() Crashes When Hint box is about to appear.

  I have a strange crashing problem in an application developed on Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. The crash comes during a function call to CFileDialog.DoModal(). The problem seems to relate to the "hint" box that appears if you let the mouse pointer linger over a file. If the mouse pointer registers over a file with an unregistered file type, then a hint box appears indicating the file type (e.g. ".slg file"). You the ...Show All

  Hello, I have a MFC dialog based project that I have been working on and I want to add some activeX controls to it.

• Eddie Tse Software controlling mouse in WinXP

  Hi, I've been trying to write a program in VC++ .NET which controls mouse movement in WinXP. Sadly I'm a little lost as to how I should achieve this. All I want to be able to do is to set the position of the mouse cursor to an arbitrary place on the screen. I was hoping there was a straight forward system call I could use to fake a mouse interrupt, but I haven't had much luck finding that. Does anyone know how this is done, or if the approach is ...Show All
