Tar and feather me

if you wish, but after 5 or so years of the VC6 interface and half a year of the VS 2003 interface I find the VS 2003 interface has finally won me over :) Anyone else prepared to confess? :) Rob Manderson I'm working on a version for Visual Lisp++

2k3 is way better... Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

took me a while and i'm not sure I can even say why, but when I bring up my older VC6 projects the environment just doesn't feel right... Rob Manderson I'm working on a version for Visual Lisp++

It took be a while, but I can't go back to VC6 now. Gone are the days when I hit F7 in VS.NET to compile, forgetting that it is now CTRL-SHIFT-B. Now I hit CTRL-SHIFT-B in VC6 and wonder why my app isn't compiling. VS.NET has some annoying bugs (such as losing tooltips on variables when debugging), but it now feels like home.

I'm still hitting Ctrl F7 and wondering why nothing happens :) I remember the move from VC 1.5 to VC 4.0 and how alien it felt... let alone the move from vi to PWB :) Rob Manderson I'm working on a version for Visual Lisp++

Yea to VS 2003. I just love the class view improvements! Every thing is different to VC6 everything seems better!! :-D Ant.

The fact that the class view in VC7 actually works is a big improvement in itself. Our product crashes VC6 if you open the ClassView...

Just yesterday I did the following in VC6: I have a heavily populated dialog in an application, and I wanted a new one in the same application that is similar, but not identical. So i open my RC file in text mode, find the first dialog and do a copy and paste. I change the name slightly, delete the controls I don't need, and there is my new dialog. I have a faint memory that somebody said that this can't be done in VS 2003, because you can't open the RC file in text mode? (Remember, the tar and feather was for VS 2003 users, not poor VC6 dinosaurs). Regards, Haakon S. A sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree. Spike Milligan

(Well from 6 to 7, do not make me go back to writting make files with notepad! and I needed justification to get a bigger monitor :) ) You like what you know and are comfortable with. When VS2003 came out it was different so not comfortable. I forced myself to get comfortable because I wanted some new development features (what ever they were?) :-D I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

i have never used .NET :eek: but i fail to understand how can CTRL-SHIFT-B to compile is better than F7 C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg
The new command isn't better, it's just different. They're lamenting the learning curve when moving to vs.net, and then the un-learning curve when they need to go back and use vc6... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

Why did you copy/paste in the rc file? All you gotta do is Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V in the resource browser. I've fondled VS.net, but I swear, I honestly don't understand why everyone seems to have a hard-on for it... ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

Ahem. You can change the keyboard layout to match VC6 you know. :) -- Booohoo!

Click on the right handside menu on the open button (It's one of those split buttons where the right part opens a popup menu). Click "open with" and select the appropriate editor in the presented dialog. :) -- Booohoo!
