• Harvey_Birdman Linker problem 4248 (probably beacuse of unmanaged c++)

  Hi, I want to use Windows Forms to create a graphical interface for some routine I wrote using the FMOD library. This library only has an include file for C++ and no wrapper for .NET. When I compile I get warning LNK4248: unresolved typeref token (01000034) for 'FMOD_SYSTEM', where FMOD_SYSTEM is the type of a parameter in an FMOD function call. The c++ include file includes another include file in which FMOD_SYSTEM is defined as follows: typedef struct FMOD_SYSTEM FMOD_SYSTEM; Is it a problem of interoperation between managed and unmanaged code How can I solve this problem crescens2k wrote: In this case I think its simpler than that.

• fiaolle This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

  Hi everyone, I'm posting about a problem that has been addressed in the past, but the pure wealth of options and acronyms posted confused me. I'm a new Masters student, and I'm used to developing all my projects under a Linux environment. As such, I'm very new to developing applications using VS. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (not Express) and developing in C++. I'm developing an OpenGL program, and the template I used to set it up uses Managed C++. All I want to do is develop an application executable that can be run on machines that don't have VS2005 installed. I don't want to force my supervisors to install VS2005 to simply run my various applications. I've built a debug version, found the executable in the program directory, and it runs ...Show All

• Jay2801 UI thread dialog???

  Hi everyone, I like to write a MFC program where files will be copied from one place to another. While worker thread is copying the files, I like to show users a window with file copying (the copied files will be displayed, then the some other file operations that worker thread will be processig at a time, are also to be reported). But the thing is that I don't know what kind of class would be used to implement that reporting window and UI thread to have the program with this feature. Can you please help me with that Thanks!!!

• morphius1 Weird compiler error related to function template argument deduction

  Hi everybody. I have just found a compiler error that is driving me crazy.

• MagedSalah Class diagrams unpresent in VC++05?

  I enjoyed C#'s way of immediately showing class diagrams just by a few clicks. I also develop the majority of my program in native C++. In the VC++ documentation, it said to add a new item and double click on Class Diagram. For some reason, it is not there. I guess I could start with asking why, and what can I do to create such a file Yes, it's sort of a documentation error. Initially VS Class Designer was to support all the languages that come with VS (C#, VB, C++, J#) and that's why the class designer documentation is written as it applies to VS in general and not to specific languages. At VS 2005 beta 2 class designer support for C++ was removed and postponed to an yet unknown future version of VS. ...Show All

• CrashPlaxton Interop Problem - Managed C++ Wrapper Not Working Properly

  I like most people have a couple C++ .lib files that I need to be able to call from C#. Therefore I am writing a managed C++ Wrapper class that has methods to call the functions I need. In the libraries I have several functions (not class functions) that I need to be able to call. When I call one of these functions I get a "Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object at get_customer(CustomerResult*, Int32)" This get_customer method has a prototype of: CustomerResult get_customer(long customer_id) where CustomerResult is just a struct. Can anyone advise on where I am going wrong Thanks for the help. OK. The native method l ...Show All

• Kalaivani Prakash cl encoding all debugging info filenames in lower case?

  I have a file named MiXeDcAsE.cpp that I compile with cl.exe but it appears that cl.exe encodes the source file name in the debugging information inside the .obj file as "mixedcase.cpp". Is there a way to disable this I've looked at the output at various stages, the preprocessed output (/P) still has proper case while the code listing (/Fa) has filenames all lower case. Another way to notice this is inside the VC++ IDE. I have a project with file CRASH.cpp that causes a crash. When I run the project inside the debugger (F5), it correctly takes me to CRASH.cpp. But if I now remove CRASH.cpp from the project and run the program in the debugger, the IDE takes me to crash.cpp because the only information about the location of the so ...Show All

• DiskJunky How to capture a termination signal?

  I apologize if this is not the right forum. It seems the most appropriate. I have a win32 app that runs in the background. I want to detect when it is requested to close. On *nix platforms I can do this by capturing the termination signal. But I have noticed in the documentation that windows only supports a few signals and termination is not one of them. So how do I detect if the program is closing because the user has logged out of the session Thanks Brian I think your questions was not clear to me. I was misled by the mention of signals. I thought your program is a console program. If it is a console program, then creating a window just to receive a WM_QUIT message is not necessary. A window requir ...Show All

• Evan Mulawski VS .Net 2005, how to disable intellisense...

  Hi I am really frustrated with the performance of VS .Net 2005. This is because I always see at the bottom "updating intellisense..." and it uses 60% to 70% of CPU. How to disable this updating of intellisense... Please this is making Visual studio unusable.

• xlthim warning C4273: 'MyClass::MyMethod' : inconsistent dll linkage

  Hi -   I'm cleaning up some code and would like some feedback on link warning C4273. Here's the scenario... I'm referencing unmanaged code in a C# win app via a C++/CLI wrapper. The wrapper wraps an unmanaged Win32 dll. So I have 3 apps - MyCSForm.exe, ManagedWrapper.dll, unmanaged.dll (and .lib). The warning occurs in the ManagedWrapper.cpp code as follows: ManagedWrapper.hpp class __declspec(dllexport) ManagedWrapperClass{ public:   bool myMethod(); } ManagedWrapper.cpp bool ManagedWrapperClass::myMethod() { /*call unmanaged code */ };  // C4273 warning here. The unmanaged.dll also has its classes declared with __declspec(dllexport). I reference the unmanaged.lib in my linker. The ManagedWrapper.dll is inclu ...Show All
