With all due respect to the work Chris has done on the search. I still prefer to use google e.g: Search for C++ Label control[^] Of course it doesn't get the latest articles until the spider's been round but it has never let me down yet. Sadly, this doesn't work searching the forums (for good reasons), so your suggestions could be useful there. Michael CP Blog [^]

I guessed that would be the answer... I had my fingers crossed that William Kempf (the author of boost::thread) may have answered directly, he occasionally answers questions on CodeProject Thanks anyway, :) If you can keep you head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts you aim; Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.

You probably call ShowCursor in the main frame. Try to call it in the child window (or, generally, in the window, which occupy the client area of main window) Robert-Antonio "CRAY is the only computer, which runs an endless loop in just 4 hours"

I'm in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, but because of uni exams I'm not going to be anywhere near Sydney till about December the 20th. If that's not too late I'd love to. Any idea on the price of replacement cartridges?

AFAIK, that's the powdery stuff I have to put in my hot tub every day to kill the wee beasties. ------------ Tomorrow is the same day as today was yesterday.

Thanks, that was one of those questions where all the documentation seems to go round in circles, and you never find what you're looking for, but it's working now :-D If you can keep you head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts you aim; Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.

Solved the problem, was missing an .olb file, :-O I think I'm just having one of those days after working out what I'd done I realised that I'd made a spelling mistake in the .rgs file :sigh: If you can keep you head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts you aim; Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.

Hey Daniel. I really appreciate and respect your opinions. Please don't take my feedback as negative or self-righteous. I truly want to hear other peoples opinions and learn from them. I like to think my opinions are flexible and that I am still learning. So... Daniel Turini wrote: It’s hard to innovate and still keep on budget and schedule. Maybe sometimes, but innovation and process are not mutually exclusive. For me at least, I find innovation easier during the design phase. Sure, I throw allot of code around, try lots of things, but when that is done, I return to the structure and figure out the rest. All that code created at 2AM I prefer to throw away. Besides, after writing it the first time, the second time is 10x easier and the reesults are better. On one point related to CMM, I have to agree with you: detailed design documents. I have had many people tell me that a detailed design document is important, but this is one thing I have found that absolutely does stifle innovation. After having been told by several respected people how important detailed design documents are, I tried it on a few projects and found it crippled innovation. Architectural design, though, seems to help. Daniel Turini wrote: If you are creating yet another CRUD database application, I believe that CMM guidelines may fit well Absolutely. As I said before CMM isn't for everything, but is for allot of corporate projects. Hmmm... I wonder how much of our differences arrises from our work environments? I develop internal corporate mostly, I suspect that you work for a software house or run your own company?? The dynamic is different (I worked for a consultant firm for several years, so I remember.) Daniel Turini wrote: the “hero” or the “cowboy style” is still useful. Absolutely, just make sure there is some type of quality control in place. A good programmer will only be sharpened by the process, not dulled by it. (So long as the process isn't smothering.)

WWI, perhaps yes. The first name that came to my mind when I got to page 10 was President Lyndon Johnson. It is obvious he never read this. :(

Well, it's written, or at least a big part of it is. The whole reason I headed down this path was to make sure that the classes were exception safe. I've been looking into the Herb Sutter's material (Exceptional C++), and this way seems to be the only way to make any kind of exception safety guarantee. I never realised how much extra work it was going to be, nor the compromises that would have to be made. Doing proper exception handling is so hard :(( Thanks for the feedback though :)
