The media pipeline loads in codecs, for instance, and that's where all the decoding happens. A problem with a codec could cause the pipeline to do all kinds of strange things, having NOTHING to do with DRM. Except that that doesn't happen on any other operating system not specifically designed to lock out DRM protected content. Sorry, "media pipelines" have existed in operating systems for years. It's not a technology that should be having growing pains this late in the game.

Or should each record be a complete transaction (ie. $100 was subtracted from Acct A and added to Acct B)? You've just touched on the reference in wiki to "multiple entry accounting", but double is the general term. So lets assume you have a sale, a very common transaction. The sale was for $110.00, $10 being taxes, $60 inventory, and $40 gross profit from sales so the register entry looks something like this: Account credit debit Cash 110.00 Tax 10.00 Inventory 60.00 Gross Profit 40.00 _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

Ahh, I see. That makes a bit more sense. Your problem was that you kept thinking of Managed C++ as C++, which it's not really. It's VERY similar, sure, and that's the point, but it's still .NET rather than native. While I can certainly understand that you would like to reuse all that code you've written over the years, sometimes you have to realize that you're in a different world and do like the romans (to mix metaphors). I mean, would you have tried to reuse that code if you'd been programming in Java? Cobol? MC++ *IS* a different language, just like those are. Yeah, you can take a lot of your skills with you to help with the learning curve, but it's still going to be a learning curve. I too have built up a lot of experience with COM and MFC, largely to the point that I haven't used the wizards in years (other than AppWizard to generate a shell). MFC gives you a lot of power if you know it that well. However, the library available with .NET has dwarfed my benefit from MFC in my eyes. Stuff like DirectoryServices support, Extensive socket support (CSocket was always so lame), database support (DAO likewise, was lame and CRecordset worse). Yes, I too am sad to see MFC slowly die away, but I would consider that it lived a full life, and no technology lasts forever. -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

I'm in the same situation and agree. Seems a bit much when you do a bit of everything. I'm not so big on the testing side, but I do architect and develop. Kind of worried that there is stuff missing from the Architect version that is not in the developer version. Thats kind of pricing make Rationals tools look cheap. Which is a shame, because the MS stuff has always been rich and easy to use, but reasonably priced. Maybe someone needs to remind them the reason the Windows platform is strong is becasue there are a massive legion of developers who find the cost entry reasonably, and good tools. Take one of those away, and they may find things get interesting.

Ok.. i'm a liar... Threaded has suddenly started working better. It's still slower than Dynamic for some reason, but it's not timing out anymore... Chris must be playing a joke... -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

Thanks a lot Dave - it's always good to hear positive feedback! :D The good news is that the app can now (as of the end of last week) be compiled with either VC6 or VC7 - and I have the skeleton VC7 add-in underway - once I finish converting the COM interfaces from VC6 to VC7, it should "just work" in it's current form. Once I've got the add-in ported in its current form I'm hoping to have a good look at closer integration with the IDE - VC7 looks much better in that respect, but as ever there's a learning curve. :rolleyes: Hopefully there'll be a development version (1.4.5) out in a month or so - keep an eye on the website for details. :) Cheers, Andy Andy Metcalfe - Sonardyne International Ltd Trouble with resource IDs?

I use dynamically sized resources and read the texts in at runtime. I found this to be stable verus changes in display preferences (e.g. bigger fonts). I one app the user can change languages at runtime. All buttons/dialogs/... resize and redisplay. This means automatic layout, so you can't be all that fancy as if you did pixelalignment yourself. I got the basic idea from KDE.
