You can download Media Player Classic as just the standalone EXE and run that from anywhere. It's not the greatest music player in the world, but it does playlists. Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river. The river gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your contract says you can't use concrete or steel - the client only provides timber and cut stone (but won't tell you what kind). Gravity changes from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer

You should be able to debug a DLL or EXE posessing the soure code files, the PDB and the DLL or EXE files. Others you mentioned are intermediate files used during compile or link. People that start writing code immediately are programmers (or hackers), people that ask questions first are Software Engineers - Graham Shanks

This type of stuff make's the inside of my chest feel like it's on fire... Completely infuriating. There was something else that happened similar to this. There was an 'African American' poetry contest in which a student born and raised in African living in America

You should implement the [ON_UPDATE_COMMAND_UI](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vclib/html/_mfc_on_update_command_ui.asp) [[^](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vclib/html/_mfc_on_update_command_ui.asp "New Window")] handler for your button's control ID and then call pCmdUI->Enable( false ) in that handler. -- Affordable Windows-based CMS: www.zeta-producer.de/enu

By looking at the included libraries, it seems that your DLL is using MFC, linked statically. You cannot, and I repeat, cannot use DllMain as the DLL entry point when using MFC. Instead, I suggest you create a whole new DLL project, this time by using the MFC DLL Wizard which comes with Visual Studio. It creates a skeleton project for you, indicating places where you should add code by inserting comments. As for the other errors, it seems that your linker input libraries are missing something. For a general rule of thumb, create a new project and copy/paste relevant code over the new skeleton. The reason why you cannot use DllMain is because MFC already offers this function in it's core libraries. This is, by Microsoft's words: "Behaviour by design". MFC's DllMain will query for an external CWinApp object, which is exported by the main code module of your project (Usually defined as C<Project name>App theApp). It will then call the InitInstance function of your class to start the DLL's execution. So, all in all, create a new project by using the MFC DLL Wizard. This will solve 99% of the problems you listed, although moving the code from the current project into the new skeleton project may be quite difficult. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

So you are saying that if you log the size before and after the resize() you can provide the proof that they are not equal? Please do. cout << vecStr.size() << endl; vecStr.resize(vecStr.size()); cout << vecStr.size() << endl; "No matter where you go, there your are." - Buckaroo Banzai -pete

If you didn't successfully uninstall the platform SDK then I suggest this. 1) Install the SDK fully over the top to the directory it insists to install to. 2) Uninstall the SDK, this should now succeed. 3) Install the SDK to the directory that you want. Hope this helps Ant.

Also bear in mind the following KB article from MS. PRB: Access Violation When Accessing STL Object in DLL http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q172/3/96.asp&NoWebContent=1[^] Ant.

Perfectly safe. The compiler will automatically generate a copy constructor using what's defined by the aggregated objects. Generally, a copy constructor is only needed if the structure contains pointers, and aliasing them would be a bad ideatm. Imagine this scenario: struct S { int* p; S() { p = new int[10]; } ~S() { delete [] p; } }; { S a; S b(a); } // <- when a and b falls out of scope, the ~S() will crash trying // to delete the same array twice. In cases like this it's necessary to write your own copy constructor which either a) makes a complete copy of the array inside the object being copied from, or b) you implement some reference counting mechanism. There are gigantic semantic differences between the two cases, as you may understand. It's basically a question of "by value" or "by reference". If I chose b), any modification to let's say a.p[0] would be visible in b.p[0]. In your example, std::vector has a well defined copy constructor. By the way, std::vector implements "by value" semantics. Anyway, the C++ compiler will always automatically generate a copy constructor if, and only if, you omit one. The generated code would look something like this: A::A(const A& other) : a(other.a), b(other.b) { /* empty */ } . And how a and b are copied is defined by their copy constructors. -- Gott weiß ich will kein Engel sein.

Sorry for my late answer.. but i couldn't access CodeProject yesterday. (404) Well.. the answer you've provided is exactly what i thought. The problem is.. i use the standard STL - Containers, and i just wanted to make sure, that i can't pass them around (exe -> dll -> exe) Thanks for your help, Bernhard "I'm from the South Bronx, and I don't care what you say: those cows look dangerous."

the resolution change works.. but the bar (with the start - button.. i don't know the word for this bar).. doesn't seem to recognise the change.. and so it shows up at the old position (in the middle of the screen) "I'm from the South Bronx, and I don't care what you say: those cows look dangerous."
