This might be a dumb question to some of you and maybe I asked this question wrong, because I am new to c++. But I notice when working in a lot of win32 applications, you use a lot of resources that are pointers. Why do you have to always acquire a objects pointer ? why not initiate a new instance of the class. and speaking of that, I no...

Possible Duplicate: Which C#/.NET blogs do you read? I've found reading The Old New Thing to be an incredible learning experience (multithreading, COM, asking myself "What would Raymond do?", don't use the desktop window for anything modal, this behavior in Windows seems stupid, but here's why).

I want to convert WinMain's cmdLine argument to argc and argv so I can use the argument parsing function I wrote for console applications. This would be trivial except that I want to support "quotes" too. For example: test.exe test1 test2 "testing testing" should be argv[0] = "test.exe"; argv[1] = "test1"; argv[2] = "test2"; argv[3] ...
I'm trying to achieve an effect where there's a visible logo inside an edit control and the logo becomes hidden when the user places the focus on the edit control. What's the best way to approach this? Would it be better to place an image control on top of the edit control or paint the background of the edit control transparent and pos...
I'm working with a listview control which saves the data using AES encryption to a file. I need to keep the data of every item in listview in std::list class of std::string. should I just keep the data encrypted in std::list and decrypt to a local variable when its needed? or is it enough to keep it encrypted in file only? ...

It seems that calling a P-Invoke while the App is not completed loaded make it spew the errors of the related functions. For example at the moment I'm trying to load at startup various DLL through LoadLibrary and test if they have exported a particular function. If I do that while the app completed its load procedure no error are give...
I'm looking for recommendations for a reliable and functional cross-platform JSON library that can be called from either C or C++ and which can be used with Linux, Mac OS X and WIN32. Ideally it should support both generating JSON output as well as parsing JSON input. I've looked at a lot of the open source options but it's hard to tell...
Well, it's a kind of a web server. I load .dll(.a) files and use them as program modules. I recursively go through directories and put '_main' functors from these libraries into std::map under name, which is membered in special '.m' files. The main directory has few directories for each host. The problem is that I need to prevent usa...
