And sometimes it also happens when the .ncb file gets into crazy. Close the solution and re-open it should help.

Steps:
1. Switch to [Class View] tab, and highlight the class name you are going to add OnCtlColor. (It must be a CWnd based class)
2. Right-click at that name, and choose [Peoperties].
3. You are lead to [Properties] tab. You will see an icon-only button which has the name [Messages]. Click that [Messages] button.
4. The view will list all the available messages including WM_CTLCOLOR.
Then you know what to do.

I have experienced this bug in Visual Studio 2005 in several of my projects. Its very annoying and I hope it was fixed in 2008.
I found a strange way to fix the bug but it works almost everytime for me.
1.) Open the header file and copy the entire contents of the header into the corresponding CPP file at the very top.
2.) Close Visual Studio 2005.
3.) Delete the Intellisense database with the extension .NCB
4.) Re-open Visual Studio 2005 and wait a few seconds for the Intellisense database to rebuild.
5.) Try to add your OnCtlColor message handler again.
6.) Copy and paste your header contents back into the .H file.
Let me know if it works for you!

That sequence fixes so many bugs that they should have put a big button
on the UI that does the sequence automatically LOL

I fear not... just had a similar problem myself in VS 2008, and deleting the .ncb fixed the issue here too.

Wow, looks like I posted that back in March 2008. I am also using VS2008 now and it seems that it happens less often but the problem has not gone away. It seems that it mostly happens in my very large C++ projects. I guess we can only hope that VS2010 will have permanently squashed this little annoyance.
I am glad that the post helped you fix your issue.
Best Wishes,

Hi all,
Can anybody please tell me why CWinApp class have only one object?
Thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
Because MFC was designed that way. The one object wraps all the app instance
info that Windows apps have only one of, like the HINSTANCE, and the commandline
params passed. It also holds any other application-wide stuff of which there can only be one.
That makes it a nice place to hide app-wide variables that in the old days would be global. 
Plus it makes no sense to have more than one app object in a single app.

because it the base class for the application class. It is needless to have more than one application class for one application. The implementation has dependency on the global object obtained from AfxGetApp(), which is used by the AfxWinMain from winMain. Then it is similar to ask why only one main function for an application.
"The main application class in MFC encapsulates the initialization, running, and termination of an application for the Windows operating system. An application built on the framework must have one and only one object of a class derived from CWinApp." from msdn.

Adding to the above replies, think of it logically. You may have many dialogs, documents, menus, etc., But how many applications are you writing code for? 1? So, the one and only CWinApp derivative would represent your application and you have only one of it.

Also note, C++ supports falling case (unlike C#), whereby if there is no break keyword, the next case is evaluated as well. This comes handy is some cases.

int me = 0;
switch(me)
{
case 0:
cout<<"I need a C++ book"<<endl;
break;
default:
cout<<"I still need a C++ book"<<endl;
break;
}

You should really really buy a book and learn C++ from the basics. Even if people already told you so, you don't seem to see the benefits from it. Of course, you'll spend some time doing only this (and not going any further in your project) but on the long term (and even shorter) you'll be far more efficient.
C++ is not a language where you can guess what to write and expect it to work. Even if your program compiles, you'll still have a lot of runtime problems (crashes, memory leaks, ...) and if you don't understand what you are doing, that will be a hell of a job to fix them.
And another point: people on the forum will get bored seing you posting 10 questions a day. And what will probably happen is that the quality of the answers will decrease because you don't make any effort to learn and expect us to do the job for you.

What's the problem with you stupid dork ?
not only you spam the forum with your minimalistic questions, but you delete it once you get an answer, so that no one here can see what was asked at first.
dude ! this is not a chat, it's a forum. if you can't wait, go somewhere else.

5. But I'll guess a hazard your suggestions are going into (if at all) deaf ears.

I know others have said it, but let me just add something
If you're too stubborn to buy a book when you plainly know zero about C++, and you're too stupid to use google, then no matter how many people here answer your basic entry level questions, you will never, ever learn C++. Learning involves more than asking people to do stuff for you. It involves literacy, it involves understanding the need to study, and in this case, it involves being able to search for yourself. You are honestly telling me that a google search doesn't turn up the correct syntax for a switch statement ?
