VS2005

Hi,

I've been using VC++ 6.0 all these days.
Recently switched to 2005 edition, but here I'm finding it difficult to add even a simple member variable to the controls.

I created a dialogue based project.
I was trying to add member variable to a ListBox and on doing this it displays an error message box saying "Run Time error has occured. Object doesn't support this property or method".

The way I tried to add a member variable is:
Drag a ListBox onto the dialogue box, right click and select "Add Variable".
At this time I get the above mentioned error.

If this is not the way, how do I do it?
Same thing I've encountered while creating class for new dialogues.

I have 2005 version 8.0.50727.762 sp 050727-7600.

I created an MFC Dialog based app

Dragged on a list box

Right click 'Add Variable'

It then came up with the window that allows you to choose a control or data type, I chose a control type, clicked ok and everything seemed fine.

Not much consolation I know, but that makes me think your problem must be down to your installation, try reinstalling and applying upto date service packs.

Solution 2

C++/CLI and C# are a lot easier to use for GUI development
