I've opened an old workspace that is a libray and its test harness. It used to work fine but now doesn't and older versions of the code don't work either with the same errors. I've tried recreating the project and that causes the same errors too. Nothing seems out of order in project settings and the code generated works in the main app....
Using Microsoft Visual Studio 98, Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP6 When running under the debugger, there's only one problem. If I pause the program and resume, everything's fine. The problem? When I hit a breakpoint, my program stops. But not in a good way; execution halts, I'm thrown out of debug mode into edit mode. All's fine until...
Is it possible to remote-debug a Visual C++ 6.0 application running on a Windows NT machine from a developer workstation running Windows XP? If so, is there a procedure written up somewhere? ...
What are the advantages/disadvantages between MS VS C++ 6.0 and MSVS C++ 2008? The main reason for asking such a question is that there are still many decent programmers that prefer using the older version instead of the newest version. Is there any reason the might prefer the older over the new? ...
Does the VFW (Video For Windows) API support Alpha Channel Transparency? I want to be able to export video with Alpha channel information. How can I do this in VC6? ...
I'm wanting to get the full value of a char[] variable in the VC6 watch window, but it only shows a truncated version. I can copy the value from a debug memory window, but that contains mixed lines of hex and string values. Surely there is a better way?? ...
I would prefer that a console app would default to multithreaded debug. warning level 4. build browse information. no resource folder. Does anyone know of any technique that would allow me to create a console app, with my desired options, without manually setting it. ...
I have been used to working with VS2005 and 2008 - using msbuild, etc, but I have inherited a set of projects that have to remain in vc6.0 for now. I don't like opening each project in the developer studio and building. I prefer to build form command line (I am automating the builds). Is this possible? I have tried the nmake utility,...
I'm using VisualC++ 6.0. (and, yes, I'm using Mosaic browser..;) My VC++ project has different dependency setting for 'Debug' and 'Release' build configuration. So, when I switch from one configuration to other, I have to change the dependency by hand every time. Is there any better way to do this? Can I keep my dependency setting accor...
Ok, I'm developing an application that has been in pretty much continous development over the last 16 years, from C in DOS, through various flavours of C++ and now is largely based around C++ with MFC and StingRay GUIs and various other SDKs. While I use VS 2005 for the release builds, I still use MSVC 6 for much of the GUI building, si...
Many, if not all, of my old VC++ 6.0 MFC apps don't work in Vista and Server 2008. I had that migration was a problem, but now it's my problem :( How do I go about making these things work? Is that possible? I've searched, but is there some repository of knowledge on this subject? edit: Compatibility mode seems to work. ...
Due to the legacy nature of some of our code, we're still using Microsoft Visual 6.0 (SP6). When I attach to a running process to debug it for the first time, it has no knowledge of where the source files are located when I break into the process. It therefore asks me to navigate to the appropriate directory in my source tree, given a so...
I've seen that a Processor Pack is available for Visual Studio 6, however it appears to only be available for users with SP5 and I am already using SP6: In addition, the Visual C++ Processor Pack (VCPP) was removed from Service Pack 6. If you have the VCPP installed, installing SP6 will remove it from your machine. If you wish to contin...
I have a client who is still using Visual Studio 6 for building production systems. They write multi-threaded systems that use STL and run on mutli-processor machines. Occasionally when they change the spec of or increase the load on one of their server machines they get 'weird' difficult to reproduce errors... I know that there are ...
Hi, i want to sprintf() an unsigned long long value in visual C++ 6.0 (plain C). char buf[1000]; //bad coding unsigned __int64 l = 12345678; char t1[6] = "test1"; char t2[6] = "test2"; sprintf(buf, "%lli, %s, %s", l, t1, t2); gives the result 12345678, (null), test1 (watch that test2 is not printed) and l = 123456789012345 it ...
My MFC application using the "ESRI MapObjects LT2" ActiveX plugin throws an ASSERT at me when closing it. The error occurs in cmdtarg.cpp: CCmdTarget::~CCmdTarget() { #ifndef _AFX_NO_OLE_SUPPORT if (m_xDispatch.m_vtbl != 0) ((COleDispatchImpl*)&m_xDispatch)->Disconnect(); ASSERT(m_dwRef <= 1); //<--- Fails because m_dwRef i...
How do you get Pro*c to work within MSVC 6? In otherwords compile a .pc file into a .cpp file. ...
How does one go about changing the version information in a built binary? Specifically I have a .exe which is built with VS6 but doesn't seem to include up any of the company information or version information strings. I'm not really even sure how they get in there in the first place, actually. Is there a command line tool for updat...
I can't believe I am asking this... It has been a while since I used VC6. I set up what I thought was the correct way to include additional directories for include files (I removed another developer's hard coded paths) and put in something like: %MY_DIR%\include but this does not work. Am I missing something? Did VC6 not allow this...
I get the following message in a VC6 project compile: OTE: WINVER has been defined as 0x0500 or greater which enables Windows NT 5.0 and Windows 98 features. When these headers were released, Windows NT 5.0 beta 1 and Windows 98 beta 2.1 were the current versions. For this release when WINVER is defined as 0x0500 or greater, yo...
