Resource Editor and MDI/Window Behavior...

[James R Twine]

Are Broken!  The Damn IDE never saves my Dialog Editor settings, like Grid spacing (DLUs), Ruler vs. Grid, etc. between launches of the IDE. :mad:    And the damn thing always starts with a Maximized MDI window even if I close the IDE with all open windows in the Restored state. :mad: :mad:    Other rants:       o The weak VB-Like Properties-Based-Editor-Thingy which is now the way to add handlers and override class methods, is MUCH slower than ClassWizard was: Scrolling and accelerating through the list just takes longer (for me, anyway).       o Want a Splash Screen?  Gotta build it yourself!  (Unless I am totally missing something.)  Not too big a deal because I have been doing this a while, but it must suck for newbies...  Same thing for Property Sheets and Pages, Context Menus, etc. (it is just tedious work). :wtf:       o Generated header files only seem to use the #pragma once method of preventing multiple inclusion; you have to manually add your own sentries if you want to check for prerequsite inclusion of a file. (Which is a nice idea when designing object models to be used by Junior developers: it saves them from asking why they are getting all these undefined identifier errors.)    Those are the only reasons I continue to use VC++ 6.0 for non-.NET development work.    Things I like, briefly: Outlining/Contraction of code blocks, auto-hide windows, and... Uh...  That is it! :|    Peace! -=- James. "There is nothing worse than being oblivious to the fact that you do not know what you are doing." [Get Check Favorites 1.4 Now!]
