Working with Visual Studio 2008 Pro, with Intel Fortran compiler v11, on Windows 7 x64. I have an Intel Visual Fortran project set up with all the fortran source files.

I have a MFC dialog program in which I create a few CStatic and CEdit controls at runtime. Somehow the text in these controls aren't Cleartype enabled (Cleartype in Windows smoothes texts by sub-pixel positioning and coloring).

I'm working on our continuous integration system, and I'm interested in simulating our systems handling of unexpectedly long compile times. Is there any way to cause the compilation to take a long time to complete? Or perhaps force it into some sort of loop that would take a large amount of time to compile? I'm looking for something as e...

Edit: The unchecking of "Auto close pare...
