My bad or what 
The problem was not with GetWindowDC.
I was later calling GetClientRect instead of GetWindowRect

LOL, I was trying to figure out how GetWindowDC could give you the wrong DC

Hey guys,
I find that GUI based MC++ programs start slower from VS .NET than C# programs. If you start it directly without debugging using Ctrl-F5, it runs fast. But otherwise I am having to wait as long as between 5-12 seconds. Is this just me? Are others facing this problem too?

Look at the output window, how many dlls are getting loaded? Thats probably where you see the extra startup time.

I am using IJW. So I guess the debugger's loading both managed and unmanaged symbols

If you have managed and unmanaged debugging both turned on, debugging starts slower. Select only managed or only unmanaged debugging. Don't use mixed debugging

I havent touched the default settings. And anyhow I need both managed and unmanaged debugging enabled.

In that case you have to live with the slowness. The answer to your original question is yes I have seen this slowness all the time and is caused by mixed mode debugging.

What's interesting is that even stepping through line by line is dead slow. I have a pretty decent machine(1.6GHZ PIII 512 MB) and it took lot of time just to step to another line in the debugger. Since then I never use mixed mode debugging. I don't know whether you have but another issue is symbol loading. I had symbols for all XP dlls and it also slowed down the startup. There is selective symbol loading in VS.NET but so far I have not tried it.

Do you know if it's possible to download symbols for all the .NET files?

Hello guys
If you are using IJW in a windows GUI application with a WinMain instead of a main, do not run the program from the VS.NET environment. Run the exe from the command line or using explorer. The VC++.NET debugger seems to be confused by the combined use of native types and managed types.
This has been my sad experience over the past 2-3 hours 
Regards
Nish

I guess the problem lay elsewhere. I had the same problem with a C# project I tried and also a win32 console program I tried. Seems, something has gone wrong with my VS .NET
I am thinking of doing a re-install on top of the existing install.
Any suggestions?

No suggestions but I know how you feel I had to install everything again. My windows 2000 is dead, I am installing XP right now!

My problems were caused due to one of the services that Zone Alarm installs. If I stop that service, then all is well.

Windows XP has a good firewall, why are you using Zone Alarm? Do you think I need that?
Thanks

I am thinking of uninstalling zonealarm.
But what's this XP firewall everyone talks about?
I can't seem to find it anywhere!

Hello
If you use main or _tmain then your code will be basically a console app. Even if you use Application::Run to bring up a form, the ugly console will lurk behind.
The solution is to use WinMain() instead of _tmain(). This was all very fine till I started using IJW. I need to #include <windows.h>
But the moment I #include <windows.h> I get the compile error that says :-
d:\Projects\Capture01\Capture01.cpp(22): error C2731: 'WinMain' : function cannot be overloaded
 ( (
Can anyone offer a solution?

Well just go to linker options and add the following line to the command line /subsystem:windows, you will have a windows application with _tmain, or you can also try the reverse with /subsystem:console
