• Visual C++ Working with Objects

  I have been recently starting to use oo objects so that I can use functions within them etc. But When I try and to reference the functions it tells me that I can't do that because it is not any such function. I have arrays of these objects so I try and access they by using the code for example... _blocks :: IsFilled() So when I try and compile this it says that there is no such member of global namespace. Blok.h #pragma once enum _colour { LBlue,BlueRed,Green,Yellow,Grey,Pink,Null }; class Blok { private : int _IsFilled; _colour Colour; public : Blok( void ); int Set_IsFilled( int yesno); int IsFilled( void ); int Set_Colour(_colour CColour); ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Digitally Signed Third Party DLLs, OCXs Test Case 5

  Test Case 5: Each application executable with an extension of exe, .dll, .ocx, .sys, .cpl, .drv and .scr must contain a valid signature in order to pass this test case Background : Our application uses a number of third-party components, some of which are digitally signed and some of which are not. For those that are digitially signed, the certificate is valid but has expired. Let me say that these are not old components, unless you consider 2004 old. The DLLs and OCXs involved are 32-bit ActiveX controls or libraries used in our application that is developed with Visual C++ 6.0. Moving to .NET would be a huge undertaking and not worth it just to get certified for Windows Vista. As an example, we use SoftwareFx's ChartFX A ...Show All

When I try to run client application on computer without VC++ (clear PC with windows XP), there is an error - system cannot run the application. What are causes sorry for my english...
