Now that's confusing. You're right, the trail leads to a vss6sp6enu download from one path, but to vs6sp6 from another. The latter is 62MB, and is recommended for anyone using VC++6 with VSS, or VB6. I can't believe the fixes for VSS take up 62MB! Usually I like to check what fixes are included in a download, but the documentation links lead only to info about the VSS SP, not the one I just downloaded. Oh well, if it follows tradition there will be about 42 separate README files after I extract it. That should keep me entertained for a while.

i was pegging away at the keyboard and accidently wrote something like this
int i;
int j=0;
CRect rc;
rc.left = j,i;
(notice the , between j and i)
compiler shows no errors or warnings 
VC6, No service Packs
never seen or heard anything about this before

Hey, that ',' is the comma-operator, and you did use it in a syntactically correct way. About what sould the compiler complain?

You are invoking the comma operator, basically returning only the value of the rightmost expression.
Consider this:
int i = 9;
int j=0;
int rc;
rc = j,i;
After this code fragment, rc has a value of 9.
A brief description is here[^], but google will give you any number of examples.

I only had a vague idea what the comma operator does. Doing the test program and the googeling was brushing up my knowledge.
But in reality, I would consider use of the comma operator be bad style.

Another "strange" thing that I stumbled across a few years back was that any code preceeding the #include <stdafx.h> statement is ignored if precompiled headers are being used.

Hi all,
I'm testing some code and just created a simple mfc console app (using the wizard) in VC6.
I did a first build after project creation, without any change, and it worked ok. Then I've gone to the project's settings and in the C/C++ tab, in the general category, I added _UNICODE and removed _MCBS from the preprocessor definitions. That line now has the following:
_DEBUG,WIN32,_CONSOLE,_UNICODE,_AFXDLL
Now the problem is that after making a full rebuild, the output of the program is wrong: instead of displaying the "Hello..." string it displays the address of the text.
If I remove the _UNICODE define, all is ok. I've been testing and found out the following:
cout << "Test" << endl;
outputs: Test
cout << L"Test" << endl;
outputs: 0041401C
cout << _T("Test") << endl;
outputs: 0041401C
I thought that cout was unicode compliant...
What the ... am I doing wrong?
TIA

yes, cout accepts only byte stream.
once u compile as unicode ur "Test" is defined as multi stream and is not displayed correctly.
greatest thing is to do wot others think you cant

Thanks for the tip...
So, the best way to deal with it is just to use _tprintf() and similar and forget about cout, right? This way I don't need to worry if I'm using Unicode or not.
Not a big problem, as this is just a test application.
But, just for curiosity, is there nothing in stl that can output unicode strings?

'cout' is char, 'wcout' is wide.
_UNICODE is a Windows and MS thing, so it won't change std::cout into std::wcout, or std::string into std::wstring.
So you could use the preprocessor to do it for you,
#if defined ( _UNICODE )
#define COUT wcout
#else
#define COUT cout
#endif
cout << "Test" << endl ;
wcout << L"Test" << endl ;
COUT << _T"Test" << endl ;
which should produce three 'Test's regardless of how _UNICODE is defined.

I didn't knew about wcout...
(in fact, the only times I use cout is in small console projects to be able to quick-test some code)
Thanks for the info.

For those who are still using VS6, it appears that Service Pack 6 was released yesterday. I hope this is not a repost - if so I'll delete this message.

Really? The last I'd heard, about 6 months ago, was that MS had no plans to release any further service packs! This is good news - thanks!

Hi All,
I have a CMDIChildWnd application where each child window loads a CFormView.FormView contains some edit controls,comboxes etc.(note:edit boxes,comboboxes are standard MFC controls)
when i double click on any edit box to select the contents,the focus is always going to first control in the tab order.I dont have OnLButtonDbClick() method in my code.
Please some one tell me what might may be the possible reason.
Thanks in advance...

I'm implementing my own version of the Explorer 'New' menu.
'Create Shortcut' and 'Create Briefcase' are both stored in the registry as REG_EXPAND_SZ strings.
I've used ExpandEnvironmentStrings to translate things like %SystemRoot% to c:\winnt\system32.
My problem is the %1, %2 parameters.
I've succesfully ran the 'create shortcut' command supplying the directory under-which I want the shortcut to be created in instead of %1. When I try to play the same trick on the Briefcase item it does nothing.
What does the !d! in :
%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\syncui.dll,Briefcase_Create %2!d! %1 translate to ? What are the rules for %1 %2 and %x ?
Is there a 'normal' way to execute this commands, without hacks ?
Thanks
