Hello Aesclal, thanks again, may I ask you (if you got the time) to append some links in order to let other readers as well understand the topic ? (e.g. spelling out what is PFA - parameterise from above - and its coupling with interface inheritance, why you will then work only with references, etc...). The best would be a link to a public domain example... About "swap", I left it out first from my discussion in order to focus only on copy ctor & assignment operators, otherwise you should add also the swap method to the examples. Anyway, usually I would add this to the assignment op: T &T::operator=( const T &t ) { if ( this != &t ) // self assignment, you may also think of using address-of to be safer { T temp( t ); swap( temp ); } return *this; } The PIMPL idiom (for the sake of other readers) is the private implementation idiom. Bye Federico

Have a look at CMNCTRL1 Sample: Demonstrates Common Control MFC Classes, Part 1[^]. I cite from the MSDN: Microsoft wrote: The CMNCTRL1 sample illustrates how to use the following common control MFC classes: CTreeCtrl, CToolBarCtrl, CAnimateCtrl, CDateTimeCtrl, and CMonthCalCtrl. It shows how the controls are created and how to change the controls using many of the different available styles. Some controls cover topics that often yield questions from the user; for example, the drag and drop implementation for CTreeCtrl. PS: Prego... :-\

If you think Windows development* sucks, then why not learn Web development (which is the easiest way to reach most users) or iPhone development (which is the easiest way to reach most users who buy anything like mindless sheep)? Sure, both Web and iPhone development have their own quirks, but not as many as Windows development. * I think you meant developing against the Windows API directly. Sure, .NET has its own annoyances (mainly, its rigidity), but inconsistency and ugliness are not among them. Eduardo León

Unfortunately, memory leaks are one of the hardest problems to investigate and the support given by Visual C++ to identify and fix them is not so good. Personally, I had a try to Bounds Checker (you can get a trial version from here[^]) and I think that it's a great product: when you start a debug session, it instruments all of your executables (exe, dll, etc.) and keep trace of almost everything (memory allocations, handles, GDI resources, etc.). Finally, when you close the application it gives you a report with all the found issues: for example for each memory leak it give you a lot of informations, and it's able to point out the line in your source code where the memory was been allocated. Hope this could help... Cheers

Yeah, after that happens, the best we can hope for is to have more level-headed (and higher rated) individuals vote to remove the 1-vote post. .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly ----- "Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997 ----- "The staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - J.
