However, people using your software should be really concerned. You are excercising very dangerous practices. I hope you very soon learn the errors of your ways before you hurt anyone but yourself... What do you guys do about this? Check every single allocation. Do you actually check for failures and handle them? Are you trolling, or is it that you really don't know?! Of course you have to check for failures! If so, how do you handle them? In the appropriate way. There's no way to know how your application should handle failures. If not even you, the developer, know what to do in case of a failure in your own application... I'm speechless. Would you mind telling us the name of this application? Using it would be like juggling with handgrenades with the safety off, and I sure don't want to come anywhere near it.

Stick with Properties when appropriate. The Property Grid likes them, the debugger likes them, and Serialization likes them. Go with the flow, it will make your life easier... Regards

Is this just your experience, or is it wide spread? Chris

It does not require DirectX, although it can use it for creating some things, I dunno what the minimum version is to do that. It will work with Windows 98, but is not supported for W95.

No, it is software for viewing medical images. The application actually uses all the monitors to display the images! The problem is when the user wants to run other applications at the same time such as Internet Explorer or Word. Chris Hafey

I'll agree with that. As well as my VC++ work I do work for a blind-related project, and we use Visual Cafe for that. IS that slow or what?

I doubt that delay load will speed up link times. Delayload speeds up 'apparent' load times. It does this because the linker inserts extra code into the DLL to handle delay loading. The fact that the linker has more to do when delay loading makes me think this option will not decrease link time. The linker still has to resolve the same number of symbols as with the non delay-loaded case, but also has to write the delay load stubs (one per function per delay loaded DLL) and the delay load handler (one per delay loaded DLL). Stephen Kellett Since I can't post on the forums, for the guy that was interested in UK developer magazines, I can't offer any help, but contact Parkway Gordon (not sure of web address but try the obvious... and try google). Parkway Gordon are based in the UK and handle magazine subs for most of the better American mags, and the service is superb. Not connected in anyway except as a very happy customer.
