I used to use a manifest file in the resources. But now with vc8, for the same app, I want it to get autogenerated (just like when you create a new project). Where's the setting that enables themes in the app and gets the right manifest to get generated? Please help...
Thanks!

I had the same trouble migrating from vc71. The first thing you need to do is remove your old manifest file from the resources.
Secondly, you need to add a small snippet of code to your vc6 project that exists in new vc8 projects, but is missing from migrated projects.
Create a new vc8 mfc project - at the bottom of the stdafx.h file, you'll see something like this:
<br />
...<br />
#ifdef _UNICODE<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
#pragma comment(linker,"/manifestdependency:\"type='win32' name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' version='6.0.0.0' processorArchitecture='x86' publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' language='*'\"")<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
#endif<br />
Copy the entire #ifdef block to the stdafx.h file of your old project and it should remedy the problem.

Strange, it worked for me and a handful of others I've talked to. I wonder if there's a setting that doesn't get updated from VC6 to 2005 that does with 2003 to 2005.
I would just create a simple VS 2005 project, and verify that the Linker -> Manifest File and Manifest Tool settings match that of your updated project.
If they're the same, and you still can't get it to work, I'd try posting something to the MSDN forums:

Try removing the #ifdef _UNICODE .... #endif block

We use a combination of malloc() and the new operator in our VC++ programs. How can we get a summary of either or both items total memory allocation? The heap walker stuff doesn't seem to do anything unless you use those dinosaur LocalAlloc() / GlobalAlloc() calls which are not portable to Unix.
thanks for any help

Another method would be to use "Performance Counters" on that process. I believe there may be a few other APIs that get various information as well.

Thanks Toby! There's still too much instrumentation for our simple needs. Here is what made the boss happy:

}

{

int heapstatus;
long totalUsed = 0, totalFree = 0;

I need to make a combobox by which user can choose color they want. what kind of method can I use?
thanks.

Although it's not a combobox, there's also MFC's CColorDialog class.

Help!
Does anybody know the code on the web page, mentioned below? It should make working with ListControls much easier.
I added the code to my project, and made the changements in the code as described. I am using a dialog-based application. To make it work, do I have to create a dialog, which is equal to the one, which is shown in the example? Or should it work for every dialog using a ListBox?
Thanks!

class A
{
public :
virtual void foo() { } ;
};
class B : public virtual A
{
public :
virtual void foo() { } ;
};
class C : public virtual A
{
public :
virtual void foo() { } ;
};
class D : public B , public C
{
public :
} ;
say somewhere in code
D *ptr ;
..
....
ptr->Foo()
whose copy of Foo() will i call ? Will it be B's copy as it is the first inherited class during declaration from left to right ?

Why not just try it and see?

I don't know, and I always try not to do that kind of multiple inheritance; and having a common base class worsen it.
I think that the
the way ( i think ) to resolve ambiguity, is to explicitly call the method :
ptr->B::food();
ptr->C::food();

None. The code will not even compile.
And adding virtual keyword to B and C classes does not have a sense in this case as the existance of class A.
Try compiling next code, it will not compile also :
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class B
{
public :
virtual void foo() { } ;
};
class C
{
public :
virtual void foo() { } ;
};
class D : public B , public C
{
public :
} ;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
D *ptr = new D ;
ptr->foo();
delete ptr;
return 0;
}
Adding virtual keyword assures that D will inherit just one copy of members of A.
Consider we have next code :
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A
{
public :
virtual void GetX() { cout<<X; } ;
int X;
};
class B : public virtual A
{
public :
void setXB() {X = 20;}
};
class C : public virtual A
{
public :
void setXC() {X = 30;}
};
class D : public B , public C
{
public :
} ;
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
D *p = new D();
p->setXC();
p->setXB();
p->GetX();
delete p;
return 0;
}
PS. By adding virtual keyword to B and C classes we are sure that B and C " share same instance of class A ".
Therefore output will be 20.

I have a 2 dimensional array created with the new operater,
int (*treeinbunch)[1000][20];
treeinbunch = new int [1000][1000][20];
that works fine throughout the program. When I try to pass it to a function to retrieve values from it, it doesn't work.
The function call uses this: function(int piece[1000][20]) and compiles fine, but
the values of piece in the function are garbage. If I replace piece in the function with *treeinbunch[index][index] it works fine. Why isn't piece initialized with the values of treeinbunch? How do I pass the array treeinbunch without losing its values?

Aren't these two contradictory? Are you still losing values with the modified function signature?

as far as I know, in dialogs, there is no ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI equivalent, you need to handle all of them manually.
( but I might be wrong ).

If 2 users use the smae software (liencense count = 1) at same time, so it is illegal.
my question is:
How to monitor users who are illegal.
E.g. one idea may be:
when user installs my software, my software sends user info(i.e. computer name) to me, I record it.
so second user can not install again.
when user uninstalls, I remove the record, so second user can install.
but how to record user info? because my site uses mysql database, which requires pre-allowed ip address, so my software can not access mysql database from user's computer.
any comments for this idea, or any other comments?
