I have a MFC wizard based application (CPropertySheet, CPropertyPage) created with vS2008. I am trying to give my app which is nearly completed a more modern look.

I currently have some toolbar buttons with a small arrow on the side (TBSTYLE_EX_DRAWDDARROWS) that, when clicked, result in a popup context menu being displayed under the button.

I see that there is another way to do it: "going all the way back to 95, but it requires more work - implement IExplorerBrowser a...

I draw some symbols, that belong to certain objects, into a device context and now want to be able to later test if the mouse cursor is above such a symbol. To do this, my plan was to first create a CDC path and use that to create a CRgn region object. pDC->BeginPath(); pDC->Ellipse(ellipse[0], ellipse[1], ellipse[2], ellipse[3]); // C...

Imagine you are on Windows 7 and you have to write a GUI for a GRAPHIC application, (like a terrain editor, mesh viewer ..) which involves a great use of DirectX and OpenGL (so written in native C++). If your goal is a multi-platform software then you should go for wxWidgets, but imagine you're doing a Windows' only app...what would your...

Still I am getting the error...

So you might use such a control to display your inventory in a game, or something like the behaviour in Google Chrome where it shows a grid of popular pages you visit. I've been playing with CListCtrl and while I can get cu...

Am I right in thinking that the MFC class CMemFile is cannot be used to write unicode data to because it uses BYTE* which is defined as unsigned char BYTE? The line line that actually writes the data in CMemFile::Write is Memcpy((BYTE*)m_lpBuffer + m_nPosition, (BYTE*)lpBuf, nCount); and if so can I replace BYTE with wchar_t in my...
My colleagues are using Visual Studio 2002 and uses the C++ MFC. I am developing in C #. It has not been any problems before, but now questioning our customers if we really should develop in different environments. My colleagues think (of course) that I should move to C++ MFC. I think that they can use .NET instead of MFC. Is there a...
I have an MFC application. When running it on Windows 7 I realized that when changing the display percentage to meduium - 125%, I have a TextControl which is cut off (end of sentence doesn't appear.) How can I fix this? I could enlarge the size of the control on the dialog, but I'd rather do that via the code. My application is locali...
