Uff, you are asking questions. I was wrong about inheritance and it was not the first time I was wrong about C++, so I'm floating in some sort of Lack-Of-Self-Confidence cloud right now. I would rather prefer to end this embarrassing post. 
Though, on the bright side, it's better to embarrass myself here rather then later in my CV. So thank you guys for your time.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

that was a rethorical question indeed... no need to answer it.
it was just to show you the "wrongness" of your last assertion.

I'm sure the customer would like to hear that slogan, tox'... 
How about exchanging "any" for "less"?

I'm right beside you on the barricades, possibly with my back full of arrows 'cause that's how the pioneers are recognized.

So then why do you use it?

That's not possible.

I doubt that.

I have the feeling that I have to. I can't be the only one in a developer team who does not use inheritance. I guess it simply belongs to C++ and I have to accept it.

I was afraid of that!

Well, the Gunman project is smaller than you think and it's at the beginning. However, id Software programmed Quake 3 Arena without even using classes! Though, the newer game, Doom 3, has classes. I just had a look at it in order to learn how to use inheritance and well it's interesting. So far it seems that they only inherit classes and only 1 class at a time. Here is such a inheritance chain:
idAFEntity_WithAttachedHead -> idAFEntity_Gibbable -> idAFEntity_Base -> idAnimatedEntity -> idEntity -> idClass

Not necessarily. In C, a struct can be inherited.

Does it use objects like string, vector, list, or ostream?
Cyon111 wrote: However, id Software programmed Quake 3 Arena without even using classes!
But do they claim it to be written in C++ (or any OO language for that matter)?

Nope, none of them. At least not yet. Why?

Nope, they don't claim it to be a C++ code.

Because those basic classes all use inheritance.

Then why mention it?

I said: "I'm working on a project right now and so far I'm not using inheritance...", you said: "I doubt that.", so, I concluded(wrongly I assume  ) that you don't believe that it's possible to write the game without inheritance. So I gave you an example of a game that does not use inheritance because it does not even use classes at all.

My point was, if you are using C++ but without any classes, then it's really just C.

Take a look at the ICopyHook COM interface.

Are you wanting to know when a file or folder is pasted to a USB drive?

Friends,
In my application, i like to have UI control which can display time in 24hour or AM/PM format.
I used CDateTimeCtrl of MFC, but is is able to diplay only in AM/PM format.
Does one have ANY IDEA??? 
Thanks,
Prasanth

Call CDateTimeCtrl::SetFormat()[^] function. Check here[^] for the list of valid format specifiers.
In your case, for setting 24hr clock just call -
m_DateTime.SetFormat("HH:mm:ss");
Regards,
Jijo.
