Hi all,

I have several *.mak files that I have modified to fix various issues in my builds. I need to be able to import these makefile back into the projects from which they came from. I cannot find a way to do this. Is this possible? Or do I have to physically add in the changes to the project file piece by piece? I thought there would be a quick and dirty way to import the makefile back in Visual Studio. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

splash screen not disappearing on win98

ns22-Oct-02 2:19

. MFC MDI project. I have a splashscreen class which instantiates an object in the initInstance in the app class. When this function goes out of scope, the splash screen is supposed to vanish since it was a local object. Does so fine on Win2K. On win98 however, it stays there even after the UI has come up! How dO I get rid of it? Any ideas why this is happening?

Can't you just put a close member into your splash class, and call it manually, rather than just closing in the splash's destructor and hoping the object gets deleted? (Less neat, I know, but at least that way you know exactly what's going to happen)

Okay. This might sound dumb. I didnt write the class.It has two things in it: create and onPaint, plus the constructor and destructor. What would I put in my Close() function? I dont think we can call the destructor right? Again, sorry if its an obvious question.....

Ahh, so I guess you've currently got something like

MyClass::MyFunction()
{
  CSplashScreen Splash;  // the splashscreen object
  

  ..do your startup processing here..
  

}

The Splash object should automatically get deleted at the end of the function, when it goes out of scope, but for some reason it isn't.

Instead, try changing it to:

MyClass::MyFunction()
{
  CSplashScreen* pSplash;  // the splashscreen object
  pSplash = new CSplashScreen;
  

  ..do your startup processing here..


  delete pSplash;
}

(I.e. you now have full control over the creation and destruction of the splash screen object, which should force it to close when you want it to)

Most excellent! I truly thank you for the idea - I was getting bogged d own in what to write in a Close() function. I have to remember this idea for future use too....the power of new and delete

I havent yet ever called a C dll from within my MFC program. What is the procedure for this? Where can I find this information? The C dll might be MFC too, or maybe just plain C++.

The easier ones (and it's most of them) will come with a .H and a .LIB.
So, you just #include the proper .H and #pragma comment(lib, "blablabla.lib") the supplied .lib

Others don't and you'll have to resort to the LoadLibrary() API call.

Thanks > I'll check out the loadlibrary function...and make a little fake MFC dll app to see what files are generated - if I get the .lib and .h file...question is which .h are we talking about? There are so many... Anyways, perhaps I should try my test before any further questions about this..... Smile | :)

Usually the files will all be named the same, so if you've got SomeRandomLibrary.dll you should also get a SomeRandomLibrary.h and a SomeRandomLibrary.lib

Ah! Thank you. So if you are given the .h and .lib for a dll, you just include those appropriately, but if its just the dll thats available, then you have to do loadLibrary..... Smile | :)

I'm totally illiterate about stock jargon, but I'll check it out on my home pc this weekend. I take it this wasnt part of the deal you're working on? How is that coming along? I got the help doc HTML book. At first glance Idont seee a chapter where they actually link up the help system to a real app. That makes me nervous, so I will be bugging you when I get to that part (it will be among the first things I try). My app gets reviewed again on Friday. My new 2.8 is on the way. My goofy 40Gig machine told me yesterday I had 10M of free space left so I am now burning zillions of CDs. The new one has a DVD burner.

I used a nifty sort list control I found on CP in my project. Day before I found a disastrous bug, but it turned out to be an indexing problem. I was so upset when I found it that I got paralysed literally. I had no clue where to look. Ugh! Thank goodness thats resolved. Just a matter of time til I stumble upon the next bug.... Smile | :)

Cool! I'm using a 2.8 Xeon @ work. It's plenty fast, but I should've got a 2.0 dual processor instead.

Disconnecting a VC++ project from Source-Safe

I have a VC++ 6 project that is in Visual Source-Safe. I want the VC++ project and files to forget about the source-safe connection (So I can connect them to another source-safe server).

Which files do I need to update/delete?

I always pull the network cable out, and say no when it asks if I want it to look for Source safe in future. No doubt every other reply you get will provide a more elegant solution, it could hardly be less.

- Remove all .scc files. (mssccprj.scc + vssver.sc in each folder)

- Edit the .dsw/.dsp files

in the .dsw files, remove the source control sections
(compare with a non-connected VSS .dsw file)

for instance, this :

Package=<5>
{{{
    begin source code control
    "$/_WEB/HTTPSPY", NGAAAAAA
    .
    end source code control
}}}

becomes this :

Package=<5>
{{{
}}}

in the .dsp diles, make sure of the following assignments :
Scc_ProjName ""
Scc_LocalPath ""

How low can you go ?

The way VSS is integrated in MSDev is more than poor! It's not even possible to do a correct Share-Branch from MSDev and have the links to the new project locations updated automatically... shame on Microsoft. Mad | :mad:

For your problem, I wrote a small utility one day. It's a simple executable file that you call passing the dsp or dsw file as parameter and all the VSS tags are removed. If you want I can send it to you by email.
