• Blood std::vector::resize bug

  This is the declaration for the second form of std::vector::resize (in VC 2005): void resize( size_type _Newsize , Type _Val ); Note it passes by value, not by const reference. This is different to every other function in std::vector, and means you cannot construct a vector of items marked with __declspec( align( n ) ). I modified the vector header to use a const reference instead and it seems to work fine now. The Intel C Compiler does not seem to have this problem, and I've just checked the GCC header and it passes by const reference. I can't really see any reason why you'd want to pass by value, so I'm presuming this really is a bug. Does anyone in MS read these forums cfp c_f_p: Are ...Show All

• ss0979 Does VS2005 include Windows Installer?

  Does VS2005 include Windows Installer If so, how do I run it to create an installation package for users to install or upgrade my products Using your clues, I found some of what I wanted in only 15 minutes; I do not consider this "easy". And I found it on MSDN, as you suggested, but not in the VS2005 local docs. The latter, by the way, has hundreds of pages describing the syntax of Windows Installer, which I had read before I posted, but nothing on how to use it. I have several problems with the current doc system: 1) It is syntax-oriented. Unless you know the product/function/protocol name, etc. in Microsoft-ese, you won't be able to find it without extensive searching. 2) The indexin ...Show All

• pixelord Reporting Visual C++ bugs to Microsoft

  I have reported a number of Visual C++ 8.0 bugs to Microsoft at their bug reporting site at https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Feedback . Currently, and for the last month and a half, I have two bugs which I have reported directly to Microsoft, after being ignored on the web address above, which still have not been resolved. Other bugs which I have reported to Microsoft at the web address above have gotten comments from Microsoft ranging from an arcane and onerous workaround, which no one can rightfully use, to "Thanks for reporting the issue! One of our team members is currently looking into it", and then the bugs are closed with evidently no acknowledgment that the bug actually exists or needs to be fixed or that anybod ...Show All

• AndrewAPlus C++ activeX dll to be loaded on Web client

  creating an axtiveX dll in VB6 for a web browser - which would run on the client's PC was very easy - use an activeX dll project and then use the setup and deploy tool which created the prototype html object to use. I would like to create in visual studio 2005 an activeX dll (not a control with displays) which just has write properties which is loaded to the client's pc.

• Ron L vector of records of varying formats

  I have a file with a variety of record formats and I need to create a vector of the records. The only field in common among all the formats is the record type code. I don't need detailed code but if someone could help remind me how to do this I expect to be able to figure out the details. I have created a sample program for myself in which I have a base class and derived classes. I create a vector of the base class and I can add instances of derived classes to the vector. I can't retrieve the items because they are not the correct type. Am I however headed in the correct direction I can of course do something relatively crude such as create an array of void pointers but I want to use a type-safe solution and such. I know this i ...Show All

  so the /FC compiler option is not set but I am still getting the full paths returned when using __FILE__, using vc++ 2005 express. is this a bug or is the /fc used somewhere else If so: Why isn't this documented You should also check that you are not compiling with /ZI (support edit-and-continue) as I believe that this requires /FC - if you don't need E'n'C you can use /Zi instead of /ZI. ...Show All

• INTPnerd DLGINIT structure

  I want to create the dialog dynamically in memory. The dialog contains some ActiveX controls. According to the description for CDialog::CreateIndirect, I have to provide a DLGINIT resource.

• EvilOneSD Avoiding "Additional Include Directories" for a project within a solution

  Using the following version: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600) I have a C++ (unmanaged) solution with several projects within it. One (and only one) project is dependent on the rest of the projects within the solution. This project requires the header files for its dependencies. Is there a way to tell this project to look at its dependency folders to find the header files, rather than typing in each dependency folder into the "Additional Include Directories" configuration parameter for the project properties Thank you.

My problem is that whenever I try to open my log file the second time to add more log data somewhere (not appending) in the file, all the contents of the file will be changed to rubbish and unreadable data.
