• rwerner How to force intellisense update?

  Sometimes I press right click and then "go to definition", and it goes to a wrong place. I think this is because intellisense is not update yet. If this is correct, how to force it update Thanks Hi Aarongo, Thanks for your answer, I've tried like this many times but cannot force it update. Save all, rebuild all, close VC++ and then reopen again etc. It's not work. It still goes to wrong place when click "Go to definition". Do you have any suggestions Thank you very much A build or a save all will cause intellisense to update. If your intellisense database is corrupt you can delete it and recreate it.

• Suraj Guptha Directory listing

  I was thinking about writing a quite simple program in c++ which purpose is to write all .mp3 files in a folder and subfolders onto a .m3u file. I cant find any standard library functions returning the next file or folder in a directory... Does anyone know how to do this (I'm quite a beginner in c++... I have read "c++ whitouth fear"! Does anyone recommend a book to continue learning ) Check this FAQ, http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php t=312461 Hi, I think you must write recursive function to get files in subdirectories, you must call "CFileFind::FindFile( pstrName )" and then call "CFileFind::FindNextFile()" to get another files, but note you must skip . and .. files, and chec ...Show All

• gg1 Setup Visual C++

  Hi, I am very new to visual C++ and I am trying to use it to compile C code. I have everything setup and I created a hello.c file which basically prints Hello to the console window, but when I run my program the output windw opens and then closes in a flash. Does anybody have an idea why this is happening and if this is the right way to compile C code in Visual C++. Thanks, Sunny It seems that you are doing every everything right. The problem is that with today's computers your program executes before you can see much more than a flash on the screen.

• Slyke How to write on Windows desktop from C/C++ code ?

  I want to display on my desktop some useful informations like my IP, MAC address, current time, etc.. Is it possible to write these informations directly on Windows desktop from C/C++ code Any ideea First, why do you want to draw it on the desktop Doesn't look like a good idea for me. You can get a handle to the desktop window with GetDesktopWindow(). If you do want to write there, you will have to intercept all painting calls aswell. Otherwise your output will be obscured / erased every time there's a repaint or invalidation. Anyway, please direct this question to the UI newsgroup at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.win32.programmer.ui&lang=en&a ...Show All

• Gorav How can I change empty project default settings?

  I would like very much to change the default settings for empty projects to reflect my needs for the next several months. In general, I can't figure out how to change any of the default settings (only able to change them on a per project basis). In particular, I would like every empty project to be intialized with the following: Disable language extensions: Yes (/Za) Create/use precompiled header: Not using precompiled headers Debug information format: C7 Compatable (/Z7) Generate Debug info: Yes (/DEBUG) Any help in changing this settings is greatly appreciated and would be a huge convenience for me.

• Alex Bibiano Cannot add member variable

  Whenever I select "Add member variable" menu from context menu at dialog editor, I only get blank form with nothing in it, totaly blank. What's wrong It goes the same for MFC project, CLR, Win32, etc. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 update version and Windows Vista Business update version. I don't know. One thing you can try is deleteing the Intellisense file (ncb extension ) but the main reason I suggest it is because it is easy to do; I don't have a good reason otherwise to suggest it. The Intellisense file will be rebuilt by VS. Try it and let us know if it works. I don't think it has nothing to do with .ncb file. Because there's nothing wrong with the "Add member function" wizard. What I mean with ...Show All

• Kyle_W How do you get hardware information?

  Without using WMI I've found ways to do so in nearly every language, except C++ (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating but you get my point)... I wanted things like processor clock & make, total ram, stuff like that, to be compatible with Windows Server 2003 & above... is there a way With C++ you can either get to WMI through COM (here's an example ) or if you use C++/CLI you can use the System::Management namespace. Many thanks my dear! To find the RAM quickly you can always use my.computer.info.TotalVirtualMemory. Here is an example (I cleaned the output up a little for you too.

• OasisGames Very simple member variable question

  Hello all, I'm using VC++ 2005. I've got an MFC dialog app to which I've added a ComboBox control. I right-click the control and select "Add variable...". In "Category" I select "Value" and in "Variable name" I give the variable name "m_intComboBoxVal". I hit "Finish". But when I try to look for the declaration in the source files for the dialog, I don't see it anywhere. It is listed in Class View when I select my dialog class...when I right click the member variable and select "find all references" it finds one reference in the dialog header file but on an empty line. Where does the wizard insert the declaration for my variable Sah ...Show All

• rekhareflection Localizing AfxMessageBox, "Yes", "No" etc.

  I have an MFC / C++ app in Studio 2005 that supports 10 languages using MBCS for Chinese. I can change the language of my GUI by calling SetLocale for each thread and the dialogs and CString strings are then loaded with the correct language. But any calls to AfxMessageBox get the English title (on XP English) of the application and Yes / No / Cancel buttons in English. The CWinApp has a member variable with the app title, so I can reload that. But I haven't figured out how to get the Yes / No / Cancel buttons to change language too. Any ideas Looks pretty cool - the only worry I have is that it may look terrible under Vista (as Vista's native MessageBox is totally different) ...Show All
