Hi,
If I convert/import an old Visual Studio 6.0 project into a new VIsual Studio (10 or 12), can I access newer UI controls/methods to be used on the older (and now imported) dialogs?
For instance, the old CListCtrl was cumbersome to use. Everything had to be set up programmatically to sort, column hide, resize etc. If I import a tool into Vis Studio 10 or 12, and access a dialog from that tool which contains a CListCtrl, can I now make use of newer methods of CListCtrl on this older dialog? Do I need to remove my current CListCtrl, and put the newer one there, or do I just call the new methods to make sue of them? Or is it more cumbersome than that, where I cannot make use of new stuff on older dialogs, and I have to re-create my dialog, with new controls?
Do my questions make sense? I'm tryng to figure out what level of effort it will be to get better List Controls into old tools.
And Finally, even after looking at the msdn pages for CListCtrls in Visual Studio 10, I cannot easily tell when functionality comes for "free"... looks like I still have to code up my own sorting, resizing.. etc... is that true?
Thank you very much for your time.
