    Now I understand why you're frustrated all the time... I wrote a whole window framework in Win32, to bridge to Python. It was fun, but I wouldn't want to do it again. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

      It's a long time ago, I don't have the code, and didn't own it in either case ( it's in a commercial product - http://www.viewbuild.com/[^]

        Sometimes I feel like I am, but then I realize it's just ATL/WTL. :)

        Count me in. I'm currently writing an Emulator that links USB to the Screen buffer. I do it for speed (I think). It's quite painful though.:zzz:

          Does MASM32 Assembly count? Structurally it is very similar to C.

              Just curious, how many people here still develop apps in Win32 with C/C++? Not WinForm or even MFC, I mean good old fashion WIN32 API with C/C++. Anyone?

              Count me in. In fact, count my whole office. We're a bit lost in time, we still work in VS6, mostly C and a bit of VB. Making a GUI in C is a nightmare, but hey, what boss wants, boss gets :sigh: And it's fun, in a masochistic kind of way :mad:

                I still use C++. My projects have to maintain a "common code base" across UNIX, Linux, and Win32 (and Win64...), and Java is out of the question, for various reasons (like I hate it...) There are some platform-specific modules, etc., but as much as possible is "vanilla" C++ objects.

                  I work at an engineering firm that mainly develops embedded applications. I have no need for C++ in an embedded device. Our software is written entirely in C (either Visual C 6.0 or GNU) For our internal GUI apps we use VB6

                      Do you use some fancy tool to build your gui and write all of the database interface code and the communications layer between your clients and servers??? Have you ever written your own memory allocator??? or forgone standard library calls for file access and wrote the code to read the disk sectors yourself??? Have you ever done any serious work using COBOL, RPGII, PASCAL, C ??? If you answered Yes, No, No, No, do you seriously consider yourself to be a programmer!!!???? Perhaps the dev tools of today have replaced the need for behind the scenes, hardcore programming. But is it really programming???

                      Yes, I consider myself to be a programmer (I don't work in programming though). I use Visual Studio to design my GUIs in, as I don't really see the need to code it (since this takes away time to work on the actual application) and I write my own database & communications code. I haven't had the need to write my own code to read disk sectors myself yet, so I use the standard library calls. If I ever need to, however, I'm sure I'll figure it out. I've never used COBOL, never heard of RPGII and I didn't like Pascal. I learned C years ago, and before that I learned Z80 Assembly language on my old Amstrad CPC. So, I've done quite a bit of in-depth programming, so, even though I now use VCS 2005 I don't think that makes me any less of a programmer.

                              Hi. Me too. In all my 20 years of programming, I built my own "framework" and "functions library" in C and Win32. Why have I to throw them away? We can help each other? :omg: GianniGP. Bye.
