I was reading this thread/post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/262298/windows-c-ui-technology and am also wondering about a non .NET UI framework. Specifically - prior to .NET having support for serial ports (I can't believe they left that out of the first release of .NET) I was forced to use MFC for an application. I had not been...

I have an MFC legacy app that I help to maintain. I'm not quite sure how to identify the version of MFC and I don't think it would make a difference anyway. The app can take some parameters on the command line; I would like to be able to set an errorlevel on exiting the app to allow a bat/cmd file to check for failure and respond app...
I'm doing some small changes to C++ MFC project. I'm .NET developer so Windows programming is new to me. I need to launch some method right after CDialog is completely shown (painted) for the first time, but only once. How can I do this? In .NET I would handle Form.Shown event. Do I need to handle some message? Which? Do I need to ove...
I am trying to access a view inside a splitter from my mainframe. At the moment I have this: CWnd* pView = m_wndSplitter.GetPane( 0, 0 ); However this gets me a pointer to the CWnd not the CMyViewClass object. Can anyone explain to me what I need to do in order to access the view object itself so I can access member functions in the f...
I have this code: CCalcArchive::CCalcArchive() : m_calcMap() { } m_calcMap is defined as this: typedef CTypedPtrMap<CMapStringToPtr, CString, CCalculation*> CCalcMap; CCalcMap& m_calcMap; When I compile in Visual Studio 2008, I get this error: error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'CCalcArchive::CCalcMap &' ...
I have a class derived from CTreeCtrl. In OnCreate() I replace the default CToolTipCtrl object with a custom one: int CMyTreeCtrl::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { if (CTreeCtrl::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) return -1; // Replace tool tip with our own which will // ask us for the text to display with a T...
I am refactoring some MFC code that is littered with ASSERT statements, and in preparation for a future Linux port I want to replace them with the standard assert. Are there any significant differences between the two implementations that people know of that could bite me on the backside? Similarly, I have also come across some code th...
Hi guys, I need to at run time change the font of a List Control so as to used a fixed width font. I have seen some examples which suggest I should trap the NM_CUSTOMDRAW message, but I was wondering if there was a better way of doing it. Thanks. ...
Has anyone tried using these new VS2008 MFC classes yet? I can't seem to find any examples anywhere. Even the VS2008 samples(1) don't mention these classes. (They use CToolTip.) (1) Update: My mistake. I had downloaded the non-SP1 samples. I see that the SP1 samples have samples specifically for the 2008 Feature Pack, including the DlgT...
I'm adding C# WPF dialogs to an existing C++ MFC app, using a C++/CLI interface layer. I've got things working, except I'm having a problem with modality. For example: MFC app shows a WPF dialog using ShowDialog. Works as expected. That WPF dialog shows a MFC dialog using DoModal. The WPF dialog is hidden behind the base C++ app, and i...
I want to develop a windows application. If I use native C++ and MFC for user interface then the application will be very fast and tiny. But using MFC is very complicated. Also If I use C# then the application will be slower than the native code and It reqiures .NET framework to run. But developing GUI is very easy by using WinForm. Whic...

I am wondering what are the best community resources for MFC development- such as forums, IRC channels, etc. Currently the only resource I have for finding answered questions on MFC is using google which comes up with Codeproject results or the occasional result on MSDN or some other web page. Now that there is stackoverflow I am sure ...
Hello all, How can I place a MFC CFormView inside a CDockablePane which was introduced in the VS 2008 MFC Feature Pack? Thanks. ...
I have an existing application that uses CArchive to serialize a object structure to a file. I am wondering if can replace the usage of CArchive with some custom class to write to a database the same way that things are serialized. Before I go about figuring if this is doable I was wondering if other people have done the same- what is ...
I've got a dialog with several largeish combo boxes in it (maybe several hundred items apiece). There's a noticeable delay at construction while these are populated (confirmed that it's them by profiling). My initial thought was that sorting was killing it's performance, but disabling sort and using InsertString instead doesn't seem to ...
