There once was a Dolly Parton joke[^] with a calculator turned upside down...

Languages and frameworks never truly die unless the platforms they exist on die. As long as Windows lives, so will MFC. Its certainly less popular and hard as heck to work with if you are used to .Net.

Hopefully the military won't create another Mubarak, or worse...

I agree this is the proper way of communicating between 2 forms. I would also add that you could overload the constructor of the form to pass in a value. And, you only need to dispose a form if you use ShowDialog[^].

It gets installed in our software's installation script, but I reinstalled it anyway. Didn't help.

While looking for some tool to help I installed PerfMon which I believe is a .net app and it ran fine. All of our other native apps run fine as well.

We're having a problem on a few client machines where our managed C++ MFC app will not start. Its a managed c++ app linked to some C# dlls. It won't even hit the constructor or OnInitApp. Its almost identical to this: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/community/aspnet/36/10076902/mixed-c-managed-c-c.aspx[^] but of course there was no solution posted. I have one of the offending machines and it starts in safe mode, but not when starting windows normally. I have also shutdown nearly every service, including anti-virus apps. It seems like something is blocking it but everything that possibly would be blocking it has been turned off. Tried running the CLR Profiler with the app but the clr doesn't start. Any clue's as to what is causing this would be appreciated. Thanks

This usually works for me.

Why don't we take this attitude with every country? If you mess with us, then we'll mess with you, until then you're on your own.

That made my day! Thanks.

It was a totally chance encounter. My manager heard he was on CP and just looked at Christian's latest posts and saw my name. We had just posted in the Soapbox a day or two prior. When he introduced us I saw his name-tag and thought, "no it can't be the same guy". But it was. We didn't get time to talk at all, just a really-nice-to-meet-you handshake and a wow this is cool and that was it. Maybe he can stay longer next time.

I just saw the link on your website and had to do it. Forgive me?

I think I should be the excited one! I met The Christian Graus (fabled CPian all-time post leader). I'm just a schmuck living in podunk USA that's been banging away at a kbd for 12 years (professionally). You have 50+ articles, a nice Microsoft MVP shirt, and you travel the globe. But, yeah, it was so cool. The odds of this happening the way it did are super low.

For Clinton this joke made sense because the military hated the man. But I've always heard they liked Bush.

I think I heard the same joke about Clinton 8 years ago.

Thanks for clarifying.

And, the core idea of communism, as opposed to the pretend communism practiced by the USSR, is actually not that different in theory from what the church did.

But it was destined to fail because there is no love and there is no God in communist philosophy.
