hello all
I have just purchased the Vc++ .net standard edition.
well, if i create a new project with the wizard i can easily change the 'use MFC as a shared DLL' option to 'use static MFC linking' and quickly rebuild my application in order to get one self-contained EXE.
On the other hand, when i load some VC++ samples (the ones supplied with the product ie: commoncontrols sample etc.) they have set the 'use MCF as a shared DLL' option on as a default, so i can build them and get the EXE needing the MFCxx.dll at runtime to work fine.
Now, if in these sample projects I switch the 'use MFC statically linking' option, even if that is correctly displayed in the project settings property page (General page), the resulting built executable still actually shows its dependencies on the MFC DLL (I can see them both using the 'dependency walker' and directly from the EXE size which is smaller than the statically linked one).
I noticed that under the c/c++ preprocessor property page all of these sample projects have always the _AFXDLL flag enabled: but if i cut it (as the wizard generated projects dont' have that flag enabled) the output windows warns that i have to use the /MD option (instead of the /MT one used by the wizard projects). So I use /MD and the project is built and I can launch it, but i wonder if this is really OK, as, as i said, the wizard projects actually use /MT (besides not having the _AFXDLL flag on).
Any info/tips about the above will be greatly appreciated, as i'd like to statically link the sample projects
thanks in adavance

That's ok. _AFXDLL works in conjunction with /MD (/MDd in debug).
_AFXDLL is to tell you don't statically link with MFCxx.lib, thus MFCxx.dll will be automatically loaded at run-time. But that's not enough since the C run-time (msvcrt) needs to be configured as well, hence the /MD compiler switch.
That's what is usually done when you switch from "use mfc as shared dll" to "use static mfc linking". I guess if it doesn't do exactly that, that's because you've a limited version : there's one product called VC++.NET but there are several license limitations[^]. From what I remember, one of the licenses is just for learning, not for actual app building and ditributions, hence what you see. The fact is, while a given limited edition may not allow you to do several things using the GUI, it is already known that you most of the time can managed to do them anyway using cmdline options, such like what you did!
How low can you go ?

Hello all!
I have a little problem in my project (VC++ 6.0).
I want to show user a dialog box with question "exit app or not" when he tries to close application.
Where shoult I write a handle to this event?
Thank you!

I believe you can do this by overriding the default OnClose() method (WM_CLOSE message)in the main frame window of your application. Then call the CFrameWnd::OnClose() method if the user clicks "OK".

how will you differ if user clicked exit or the computer is going shutdown? a message box would than be totaly anoying.

After I hit reply to your question, I realized that I have forgotten the code I wrote yesterday night to create folders.  But I am sure there is one.
Sorry.

hi,
3 questions.
1.how to display symbols in listbox text like the wave equation?formatting the string using the ascii octal just gives a box in place of the symbol.
2.how to add tabs in a string and not get black boxes when displayed in a list box.
3.how to set the precision for floats.i have to display say 1.23 and not 1.23046.
where can i find good illustrated examples of printf family?
thanx.

1. I presume you need to owner draw
2. \t is a tab, if it won't show, the answer again is owner draw
3. ostringstream will do that for you, so will printf, you can use printf if you don't care about safety, or if you're especially worried about exe size.
examples of printf abound in the MSDN.

1. you'll probably have to draw them yourself (see "owner-drawn" listbox)
2. see 1, or replace the tabs with spaces
3. MSDN, any book on C, etc.. but, if you want to limit the number of decimal places, use this notation: %.3f . this will give you three digits after the decimal.

i am just not getting how to make a help file like all those softwares.the msdn is too cryptic for me .can any one guide in simple steps.what are all those arrays etc?
i also don't find any articles or demo projects or even queries about that here.

1. there is no such thing as "visual c"
2. C# is a new language that is similar to C++ and Java

One is a new language that is based strongly on C++, VB and Java, the other is a common contraction where Visual C++ is meant. Visual C++ is an IDE from Microsoft for programming in the C++ language.
Why do you ask ?

I am trying to get a certain date variable to be converted to a text so I can then display it in the window of my windows program. Any suggestions will be accepted.

ostringstream will do it, and I have an article on CP that explains how.

1. Get an account here so that people will take such a question remotely seriously.
2. If you don't know what it is, why do you want to learn it ?
3. As Chris said above, there is no such thing as Visual C. You probably mean Visual C++, and you probably want to learn C++. If you don't know what it is, you'd be better off with VB, where you can't hurt yourself.

He/she may not hurt him/herself but is quite likely to hurt others. Surely it's unwise to recommend VB even in such a circumstance as this??
