Hi George, I supplied a link in this very thread. If you are not going to read my posts to your threads then perhaps I should stop posting them, eh?

Design Mode Slow Load

(Hopefully this is the right forum - This is all done in VC++.NET)

Sprinkled Throughout the various project I have are some where, if the design mode window is part of startup, it takes a rather long time for the project to be loaded. Similarly, if already opened, opening the design-mode window take a rather long time. I believe I know why it's happening, but I don't know how to stop it - and it can be very annoying.

Why I know:

1) Projects with database's attached (::SqlClient) are the worst offender - but not all of them.
2) A digital clock drop-in control I made, when put into a project, was actually ticking merrily away in the design mode window

I conclude that the horrid delay may be establishing (and timing out) of dBase connections.

Does anyone know how to disable this 'live' state of a project that, in my philosophy at least, should not be running?

For now, it's a catch-22: I can re-arrange the code and the items aren't intialized at this point - but that also means they're not on the designer window and that sort of defeats the whole purpose - which is having an open designer window.

Thanks, in advance,

Balboos

Depends Visual C++ from 2003 on up all include .NET platform extensions for using the .NET platform in your project. If you are doing that the this is not the right forum. If you are doing native C++ then this is the correct forum. For .NET development using C++ you want the Managed C++/CLI forum.

Drop-in control? Never heard that term. TIP: Don't make up your own terminology there is already far to much and people won't understand what you are saying. So do you mean you developed a custom control that includes a Visual Studio Designer interface?

Balboos wrote:

I can't be sure what that means but if you are talking about your custom control then yes. The designer interfaces include the ability to know during initialization if it is a designer instance. You can use that information to avoid doing any processing that you don't want the control to do in designer mode.

I'll try to be a bit less sloppy in my terminology, and, the answer is yes: it's a custom control. I use the term because the designer is drop-and-drag, and so I made something to drop.

As far as questions go, you can ask as many as you like.

How to Effective Learn Visual C++

scene_8427-Mar-08 3:29

27-Mar-08 3:29

Hi all,

I am kin in learning Visual C++ / MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class), but i was quite trouble as i do not know where to start. I've been reading up on Basic C++ like usage of Functions, Arrays and theories. I also downloaded simple programs to explore and see the differences and changes that will be made if i change the contents within the program.

I will like learn again, from the basics as i fail to do so during my previous tertiary education in Diploma in Electronics. I wish to learn now so as to prepare myself to do effective projects in my next upcoming tertiary education. Please kindly assist

Thank you.

Hi there,

There is more than to learn just C++ for MFC. If you were to listen, people here can recommend you very good books with which you could start learning MFC/Visual C++.

I'll say buy the one written by Jeff Prosise (Programming Windows with MFC). Good luck with your learning. Smile | :)

Just a moment ago, CPallini(Whom is one of the forum personnel_ gave me a suggestion on learning C++ and Windows Programming and i can ignore MFC, why does he say so?

Read a good book and learn C++. Then you may read a good book on Windows programming but, at first, don't bother about MFC.
When you eventually reach a good knowledge of both C++ and Windows programming, then find out that you don't really need MFC.

Why is that so, if i learnt C++ and Windows Programming then i will not be using MFC, but i thought MFC are related to both C++ and Windows Programming, plus it also help you to create the necessary Class Files for you to program. Is there any books or website that offers this kind of teachings?

CPallini27-Mar-08 4:20

27-Mar-08 4:20

Oh don't worry about. Simply I don't like very much MFC. Indeed, if you want to be stuck with MFC, the book Rajesh R Subramanian suggested (Prosise's) is a good one.
Anyway if you need to do some C/C++ Windows programming, good C/C++ knowledge is a must, good Windows programming is a must too. On the other hand MFC isn't such a must. It is just a framework built on the top of the Win32 API. You can enjoy other frameworks or you may just roll your own classes.

I see what you mean Pallini, thanks for the advice, because i am learning from the beginning as i am not very good in programming. I will be going to do a look up. By the way is there any website that can provide tutorials or projects that i can do, so that i can learn and also know how i have improve in building Windows Programs (E.g. Creating a simple e-learning tool)>?

Why does everything have to come from the Internet? What happened to the days when folks thought up their own problems, even small ones?

Convert fahrenheit to celsius

Add up numbers from stdin stream

Write to and read from a file

Determine if a date is valid

And if algorithms are your thing:

Bubble sort an array of numbers

Add to and delete items from a linked list
