I have an MFC C++ project compiler under Visual Studio 2008. I'm adding a _AFX_NO_DEBUG_CRT in my stdafx.h before the #include to avoid all the debug new and deletes that MFC provides (I wish to provide my own for better cross platform compatibility). However when I do this I get a stream of errors such as the following: >c:\progra...

I have a CListCtrl derived class that provides subitem editing by creating a CEdit starting at the correct offset of the subitem. Sometimes the subitem is only partially visible so I scroll the CListCtrl to the offset location to gain more space for the CEdit. Now something very weird happens: On Windows Vista and Windows 7 the CListCtr...

In a doc/view project using VS2008, a MFCMenuBar seems to load the correct MENU resource (IDR_MAINFRAME) from the project, since adding and removing menu items is reflected in the menu's UI. It even appends the accelerators to the default menu items (e.g. Ctrl+O to the Open... item). However, the accelerator table (IDR_MAINFRAME) doesn...

Now, the code did ship with VS6, and the symbols (mfc42.pdb) too, but the debugger asserts 'Symbols loaded (source information stripped)' upon attaching. By these tips, all copies of mfc42.pdb on my machine are indeed stripped (their size i...
