In this case you're comparing to pointers -- not 2 strings. You must use a string comparison function to do it... strcmp?

I've never had much luck on VC++ 6.0 copying a dialog resource cleanly.
Now I'm trying it with VC++ 2003. I'm trying to copy a dialog from one project to another with the intent of including the .cpp and .h files later on to save me some work but copy/paste does not do anything and drag and drop from one project to the other gives visual indicators during the drag as if it wants to do it, but nothing happens when I attempt the drop.
I'm probably just missing something very important and probably very obvious but I can't seem to get it to work.
Any ideas how to copy a dialog template from one project to the next without needing to dig into the .rc file directly?

I usually open the 2 RC files in NOTEPAD -- and copy dialogs by hand.

So we really are stuck doing it by hand still. Not surprising but very odd for a nth generation "Visual" IDE.
Thanks for the feedback.
Does VC++ 2005 or 2008 handle copying or is it still by hand there as well?
(I never tried that with VC++ 2005 beta when I tested it back then.)

Hello everyone!
Here are my questions:
1) When drawing ellipses, rectangles, lines, et cetera, how do you select a color? I can't use SetDCPenColor() because they're not supported on Win9x/ME. And I'm on Win3.1. 
2) How do you free memory from a HBITMAP?
Thanks in advance!

Create a pen and a brush. Select them into the DC you're going to draw on.
The pen will be used for the outline, the brush for the interior.

I dont know why you got vote 3?
|
|
|
|

Doesn't matter to me. If the OP needs more info then (s)he's free to ask.
Explaining all of the basics of GDI (which is well documented) here is kind
of beyond the scope of this forum.

Mark replied my question in its entirety, I don't know why someone voted 3... I didn't even know there was a voting system until Hamid said that and I figured it out. o_O
*Is voting... takes some time*

For win we need to write a good article and submit it on the codeproject.(I told you because it's first time that you are using of vote so I was thinking you start with 5
Except it I like to ask a question of you whats the meaning of your Signature I saw it already?

Hi,
How do I generate line number information in the MAP files for C++/VC++ projects? I am using Visual C++ 2005 and could not find any option to generate such information. VC++ 6.0 had an option for generating line number information in the MAP file. This option is present on C++ tab, Debug info drop-down in VC++ 6.0
Thanks and Regards.

It looks like the /MAPINFO:LINES linker option has been removed starting with VS 2005.

May I ask what you need the MAP file for? Many people are under the mistaken impression that to debug a release build you need a MAP file, whereas in reality you can just enable debug information in your release build and use your debugger (almost) as per normal.

Every now and then when I am looking at crash dumps from the field.... if the debugger's not helping (using a PDB), sometimes the map has a clue.

Map files does have information at times which can be useful. More over I receive a screen shot from customers or beta testers which has just offset information. Using map files and line number information is sometimes easier to locate the crash location as discussed in some of the articles on this site.

In my solution I have 2 projects, a static library project and a executable project.
How do you set the entry point on the executable project to the WinMain() inside the static library?
|
|
|
|
|
In the linker/advanced properties of the project, you should be able to set
an entry point.
Remember you may be bypassing CRT library initialization if that applies.
See /ENTRY (Entry-Point Symbol)[^]
