I'm working on a C++ gStreamer 'like' engine that, at some point in the future, I'd like to make some money out of (wouldn't we all!). After many hours reading up on the GPL licence, I still can't find a real answer to the implications of 'supporting' a plugin that is covered under the GPL. Since I'm only producing an engine that does ...

The think is, I can't seem to figure out which library I need to link to (or other header i need to import?). I'd really appreciated some help too....

When the user is not requesting the ActiveX control is pretty much dormant. It just waits for a user request to send another HTTP request. As long as the window in which the OCX resides does not change (...

What is there to gain from the use of this switch in a large VS solution (200 VC projects)? From what I understand this mainly effects the size of the resulting binaries; but aside from smaller binaries, could FLL also help in reducing dependencies between projects? How does FLL usually effect build times? I'd also appreciate an educa...

We are de...

Hello, I have a menu button inside a CMFCToolbar and I would like to replace the bitmap of the button each time a different entry is selected in the menu as each entry has its own icon. I succeed in changing the icon using CMFCToolBarMenuButton::SetImage but it changes the icon in the menu entry too... Too bad. Here is a sample...
