However, sometimes light text on a dark background (something like COLOR_APPWORKSPACE/clAppWorkSpace) seems most appropriate, but the system doesn't provide this. Do you have any...
We include a 3rd Party lib+DLL that recently causes a lot of trouble on installations. Using dependencywalker, we found that the dll itself refers to two different Versions of MSVCR80.DLL: Version 8.0.50727.4053 and Version 8.0.50727.42 In MOST cases installation makes no problems, even if we distribute none of both versions. But i...

I have this problem: I have a collection of small files that are about 2000 bytes large each (they are all the exact same size) and there are about ~100.000 of em which equals about 200 megabytes of space. I need to be able to, in real time, select a range in these files. Say file 1000 to 1100 (100 files total), read them and send them o...
Hi all am looking to prototype the UI for an windows application. The app will be deployed on several display devices with different (physical) screen sizes and aspect ratios. Would like to be able to generate scenarios optimized on one display and quickly check if the layout is OK on different screen sizes, orientations. That is, I'd l...
Hi, I'm writing a multithreaded app. I was using the boost::interprocess classes (version 1.36.0) Essentially, I have worker threads that need to be notified when work is available for them to do.
