Hello, I am interested in reducing the file size of my application. It is a MFC/C++ application built with MVC++ in Visual Studio 2008. UPX does a good job of reducing the final exe to about 40% of its original size but I would like to reduce it more. MFC must be statically linked in this project. I have tried some methods outlined in ...
I understand the problem with just killing the thread directly (via AfxEndThread or other means), and I've seen the examples using CEvent objects to signal the thread and then having the thread clean itself up. The problem I have is that using CEvent to signal the thread seems to require a loop where you check to see if the thread is sig...

I am trying to do a comparison of CString from ATL/MFC to a custom CString implementation and I want to make sure that all the functionality in the custom implementation matches that of the ATL/MFC implementation. The reason we have a custom CString implementation is so that we can use it on *nix and Windows platforms. The interface is ...

I would like to maintain a simple recent files list on my MFC application that shows the 4 most recently used file names. I have been playing with an example from Eugene Kain's "The MFC Answer Book" that can programmatically add strings to the Recent Files list for an application based on the standard Document/View architecture: (see "M...

I was looking for a multi-language (specifically English & Swedish) supporting spell-check solution that can plug into a commercial MFC/C++ application. Top of my Google search was Wintertree, which appears to meet all criteria but is hardly cheap at $3500 for a site license. Now I know that using some open-source option could take seve...
After several Visual Studio patches and a service pack or two, my MFC source code no longer matches my MFC binaries. When I trace into MFC, I either see assembly or old source code. How do I get my MFC sources to match my binaries again? ...
I used to use VC 6 a while back and there was a simple to use "wizard" that would create a class out of a dialog created in the GUI editor. I am using 2008 professional and there seems to be no way to generate this. I can try to make it based on a template of previous projects, but it seems to me that is missing. Where did they bury...

We have a command line application that could benefit from a GUI. We want to add some plotting functionality and have identified a plotting library that uses MFC. Initially we developed a separate app, but we'd rather have the GUI in the same process space. I was thinking of possibly a GUI in an MFC DLL that could be hosted in the p...

However, I get an SEHException thrown when I quit the application in Release build. Debug build gives me an assertion error, but the error window disappears in about half a second after it pops up (so...
I have created an MFC application from scratch being careful from the start to use Unicode aware structures such as CStringW, LPCWSTR Etc. to store and process data. Unicode is also defined in the project. Since I only one speak one language I tried the following test to ensure that a Unicode string was processed and stored correctly...

I'm adding SVG export support to an old application built with MFC and using plain old GDI. As SVG 1.1 doesn't support text wrapping, I am forced to do this manually. The application provides me with a CFont instance (which contains an HFONT). I can calculate the width of a piece of text using CFont::GetTextExtentPoint(), but I haven't ...
