We have a collection of commercial MFC/C++ applications which we sell using Stingray Objective Toolkit, we have source code license and have ported it in the past to Solaris/IRIX/HP-UX/AIX using Bristol Technologies WindU (Windows API on UNIX, including MFC). Any long story short recently about 18 months ago we ported Stingray to Win64...
What experience have you had with introducing a Ribbon style control to legacy MFC applications? I know it exists in the new VC2008 Feature Pack, but changing compilers from VC2005 is a big deal for our source base and integration to our environment, Intel FORTRAN, ClearCase, many 3rd libraries. There are quiet a few different commeri...
Years ago I wrote an extensive windows MFC application using Stingray's Model-View-Controller classes. Short learning curve, awesome results -- undo/redo stack, nested scrolling user drawn controls and so on. I would like to reuse or port a lot of the application to .net winforms or WPF. Does anyone have any experience reconciling these ...
I have a MFC MDI application that I've recently ported from VS2003 to VS2008, and at the same time moved from Stingray Objective Studio 2006 v2 to v10.1. On the previous versions of my application, if I had more than one view open, the Window menu would be populated by an enumerated list of available views, e.g. 1 MyViewA, 2 MyViewB etc...
One of the standard menus provided to a Document/View app under MFC is the Windows menu. It provides things like tiling and cascading windows, and appends an enumerated list of currently available views at the end of the menu. Problem is, sometimes it doesn't and I'd like to know why. More specifically, I'd like to know how to refresh...
I am interested in a code fragment that demonstrates how to use the Layout Factory and SECSplitter Base (both from StingRay) to deliver a splitter window inside another splitter window. ...
I would like to see an example of how to use the ADW (from StingRay) to nest docking windows. The documentation says you can do it, but does not provide an example! Thank you for your assistance in this matter. ...
I have modified the AdvSDI example (included in the StingRay distribution disk) and have removed all but two dockable nodes that represent floatable areas of information. One is initially docked against the top border, the second is docked against the left border. I wish to add two more dockable nodes. When I do so they displace the i...
