When I'm running the ARM compiler and linker tools via a dos box (run as administrator) then the linker cannot access the compiled .o files. Anyone know a solution for this problem?

Wow, these icons are great. Thanks a lot!

Hi, I have been working with VS .Net and kinda got used to it, now I'm working on another project and had to switch back to VS 6.0 again. But I really don't like the default font, can this be changed ?

I'm working on an application for personal use and want to add some icons to my menu, toolbar etc. (I need some standard icons: open, save, print, upload, download etc.) Anyone nows a good place to get some good looking icons for free?

The destination file is created, but remains empty. I have to say, I gave up and now use a CFile, which does use, but I still like to know why the ofstream does not work.

Hi, I have a class that needs to output data to a file. for this I defined a std::ofstream as a class member. However for some reasons I cannot get this to work. Writing to file works fine when I define a std::ofstream locally in a function, but for some reason it does not work when I use the std::ofstream as a class member. This is driving me nuts. example: #include <fstream> class MyClass { public: MyClass() {}; virtuel ~MyClass(){}; void WriteSomething(); private: std::ofstream m_file; } void MyClass::WriteSomething() { CString str = "test\n"; std::ofstream file; // does not work. m_file.open("c:\\test.txt", std::ios::out); m_file.write(str, str.Getlength()); m_file.close() // does work. file.open("c:\\test2.txt", std::ios::out); file.write(str, str.Getlength()); file.close() } -- modified at 17:00 Thursday 12th January, 2006

We are using Visual Studio .Net and dump a lot of debug info of our application to a console. Normally this is not a problem, however sometimes the console hangs and I cannot set the focus to the debugger anymore. And if I start the task manager, the whole system seems to hang. We do use multiple thread to log information to the console, so I created the threads with _beginthreadex instead of CreateThread, but that does not seem to make any difference. Any one got a clue why this might be happening?

When I'm stepping through my c++ code with the Visual Studio .Net 2003 debugger, my Windows XP SP2 system quite often hangs. A college of mine has the same problem. Any one else experienced the same problem? Got a sollution?

I have added a define in my Visual Studio .Net configuration. However my #ifdef's do not see the define. Anyone knows how this can be?

Is it possible to monitor/hook a COM port that has been opened by another application?

I have a MFC application with a COM interface. When I start the application via COM (i.e. a vbscript) its user interface is blocked until the call has returned. Is there any way to work around this problem?

I thought of that, but the validation of the attributes and relations is much to complex to be checked in a xml scheme.

I could not find anything similar in the MSXML dom parser.

That's really sucks... that way there is no way of telling a user where they made the mistake... (I'm not going to do all that effort just to find a line/position).

I want to be able to get the line and position of an element in a xml document, so when when there is an error (not a parse error!, but e.g. attribute verification error)I can display the user the position in the document.

XMLSpy is just the best and the home edition only cost about 40/50 dollars.

I just saw it and that is not exactly what I need: I want to increment the file and product version numbers and also have to do some version control stuff before I do this. I just need to know how I can a Custom Build option/tab to an empty project. Anyone got a clue on how to do this ?

I have an empty Visual C++ 6.0 project that I use to build a bunch of projects (by setting them as dependant projects). But before I start building I want to update the build numbers in the resource files of these projects. I created a little app. for this, but I can't seem to find a way to kick it off, because my empty project does not have a custum build step. Anyone got a clue on how to do this?

I have an application with a CListCtrl. Items are continuously being added to this list. When I scroll the box of the CListCtrl to the end of the scrollbar I want the list to autoscroll. To accomplish this I retrieve the scrollbar position (GetScrollPos) and compare this to the scrollbar limit (GetScrollLimit). If there is a match is call EnsureVisible after adding an item. However when I slowly drag the box of the scrollbar, the scrollbar position will never match the scrollbar limit. It seems the limit is updated during dragging and the position is not. Anyone knows a solution for this problem?
