"Add Event Handler" greyed out in VS2005
-
Hey there. Can anybody tell me why, when you create a dialog app in VS2005 if you right-mouse click on the dialog in the resource editor then "Add Event Handler" menu option is greyed out? I want to be able to add OnInitDialog and OnPaint handlers to this dialog but cant! If i drop a button control on the dialog through, and right click on that, then that works!! thanks in advance.

To add non-control message handlers, you have to go to the source file, and place the cursor on the closing message map macro, and then go to the properties pane. At that point you hould be able to add the handler for that message.

[sarcasm] Clearly that's so much easier than VS6[/sarcasm] Thanks for the tip, not that I will remember it, just seams easier to write it out.

You can also just click anywhere within the class definition in the .h file, and then go to the properties pane.

Yeah... :) This goes a long way to reinforce Microsoft's claim that they are eager to support their C++ developers. The 2005 IDE sucks if you're a MFC programmer. I seriously doubt that ORCAS would add any usability for us...

That doesn't always work. In fact, neither does my original response.
