I got the swine flu shot a couple of weeks ago and I only got a pain in the arm for two days. Almost all in my team here at work has got the swine flu vaccine and most people here got a pain in the arm for 1-2 days and some got a mild fever for a day. So far I haven't meet anyone how got any serious side effect from the vaccine.

Just restore the backup of your XP that you did before upgrading it to Vista. Ohh!! you forgot do the backup :), well then you need to reformat and reinstall XP from scratch. - Mathias

Don't expect UAC to go away in Windows 7. Maybe it will be less annoying in W7. But i would not keep my hope on that. According to reports it is Annoying by design. To force us developers to create applications that follow the guidelines and to allow the apps we create to be able to run as a standard user. Go see what is reading/writing to your disk. you can open the "Reliability and Performance Monitor" in Vista and click on "Disk", and you will see what files and process are doing the read/writes. (Or just download process monitor from sysinternals.com ) - Mathias

They mention it on a show on channel 9 Do not remember what show it was now. But If I recall it correct it is because the office ribbon is written in win32 and transforming it into MFC in a good way would have taken to long. And to be able to give us developers something now instead having to wait a year. They went this way. It might be this one, not sure. http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=355087

So to all MFC developers how are still out there. Go download it and start write lot of new MFC articles for all the new controllers.

They licensed the Ribbon stuff (And all the other new MFC stuff) from BCGSoft. So you are not getting the same implementation as the office team uses. Would not supprise me if MS license some 3de party Ribbons implementation for WPF.

Almost. Except that MS got there TR1 implementation from dinkumware.

Like it says on download page. The VC++ 2008 MFC libraries have been extended to support creation of applications that have: Office Ribbon style interface Office 2007, Office 2003 and Office XP look and feel Modern Visual Studio-style docking toolbars and panes Fully customizable toolbars and menus A rich set of advanced GUI controls Advanced MDI tabs and groups And much more! This feature pack also includes an implementation of TR1. Portions of TR1 are scheduled for adoption in the upcoming C++0x standard as the first major addition to the ISO 2003 standard C++ library. Our implementation includes a number of important features such as: Smart pointers Regular expression parsing New containers (tuple, array, unordered set, etc) Sophisticated random number generators Polymorphic function wrappers Type traits And more!

Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack is now out of beta and is Released. Go get it here

I need some tips on how to find out why this is happening. I got a workerthread. And when it has added an item to an queue, I post a message to mainframe. (the message has been created with ::RegisterWindowMessage(...) ) using PostMessage( hWndMainFram, MY_MESSAGEID , 0 , 0 ); And in CMainFrame::PreTranslateMessage(...) I trap the message and I pick up the item from the queue, This all work very well. Except in one situation. If the user are in a menu. If an menu is shown at the same time the postmessage are sent from the workerthread, The message is never recieved in CMainFrame::PreTranslateMessage(...) Anyone got any ide on how to fix it. - Mathias S.

store it under LOCALMACHINE in the registry and add a new usergroup that you put all the users you want to be able to read/write the registry keys it into that usergroup and then set the ACL for that registry entrie so that that group has full access to it.

Maybe something is wrong with me. But I really like Vista. ( I might be the only one ) For example. My dad got Vista on his new computer he got last year and it have saved ME a lot of work trying to fix the system. Since he is a click on everything guy. So when he is trying to delete\move files that he should not delete or change something he should not. He will now be presented with a UAC dialog but since he is running a standard user he can't just click "Okey". He needs to enter a password and he know that if he needs to enter that, Then he done something bad. And the "Previous Version" feature have saved him a lot of times because he often opens an old document and use it as a template when writing a new one and often he forget to do "save as" and he overwrites his old document. But now he can retrieve it fast with doing "previous version" on the folder. But I have to admit that It took me a day to show him how all the new stuff worked, And now when he been using it for some month and got used to it, I get less support calls from him then when he was running XP. But not everything is good with Vista. For example the new explorer was not my friend for a while. It took some time to get used to. ------ A satisfied Vista user.

Why do it the hard way when there are macros in ATL to do it for you. #include void MyFunc(WCHAR* s) { USES_CONVERSION; CString str = W2T(s); } Just make sure you don't use W2T() in a loop since it allocate memory from the stack. then use W2T_EX instead and USES_CONVERSION_EX;

Apparently that is a known issue. Responding to MCN_GETDAYSTATE should work they say. But that are what I'm already doing and it works very well on XP but not Vista. I have not seen any application that using bold days in SysMonthCal32 to work at all on Vista. not even MS own Windows Calendar. Guess I have to turn off Windows Theme for that application. Then the Old version of SysMonthCal32 is used and then it works. But it is so ugly. But that is our workaround until the bug is fixed. And it must be a bug since I can't see it work in any application on any Vista machine I test. I haven't been able to find a list of known bug of Vista. Guess MS does not publish that. So I have spent 2 days at work trying to fix something that are unfixable. - Mathias S.

I been trying to figure out if this is a Vista bug or not. I been updating some apps to work in Vista. And in one of our apps we are showing the CMonthCalCtrl ( SysMonthCal32 ) and if I set days to be shown as bold. (using setdaystate) they are not shown. This works on XP and 2003. So after trying out different things for a couple of hours I open up the "Windows Calendar" that is available in Vista. Because I remembered that is shown the month calendar in on the upper left side. And after checking with Spy++ that it was the same controller (SysMonthCal32 ) I added some new appointments. And to my surprise they did not show up either. which are strange because I have a slight memory that it worked before. So I checked on another machine and it was the same there. I have now checked on 6 machines running Vista, both 32bit and 64bit, with and without SP1. And none of them are showing the marked dates. In the Windows Calendar. If I activating / deactivating my calendar with check checkbox for what calendars to show. I will see a very very small change in the font for the days that should have changed. So It try to change it but they are not shown as bold. I been searching for this problem on the net, but cannot find anything about it. because I can't be the first to notice this. What I wonder is. Does this work for anyone ? The thing is that I have seen this work before. ( I think..) - Mathias

No! no overloading of new/delete. But I must have had som other error that is fixed now, that overwrote the memory or something. because delete[] work now. But _CrtIsValidPointer still does not work when checking a pointer of an array of objects with a destructors. Because of a bug in CrtIsValidHeapPointer. but as a workaround I can use _CrtIsValidHeapPointer( ((LPCBYTE)p)-4 ); - Mathias

CLineInfo is what the class is called in my real code. That was a cut'n'paste error :) And it have constructor and a lot of variables im my real code, and I created this example and striped it down until _CrtIsValidHeapPointer did not complain anymore. and that happend when I removed the destuctor. I can have a Constructer there without any problems, as long as there is no desructor. -Mathias S.
