How do i make a true DOS program that can be run in DOS (not in a dos shell like MS-DOS but when you boot the computer into DOS)?
And can i still use libraries like stdlib and iostream or do i need an entirely different approach? I dont so much need an answer for Visual C++ but more in general...
Thanks

First of all you need a DOS compiler, VC++6 can't create DOS executables. When you have the right compiler, you can use all its features.

Depends the operating system.....
If you are using Win98 or win95, when you boot in DOS mode, you are using the Kernel, in that mode you can use a console project, but if you are using a operating system like MSDOS, you need a old compiler like Turbo C or the Visual C++ 1.0

I suggest that you get a copy of Turbo C++ for DOS. It's a free download from Borland's site

Hi.
I have release one MFC program at my website. I am prepare a second program. In both cases, users that do not have the correct Visual C++ install with the right version of MFC dll cannot run the programs. I have tried compiling a "shared" and "static library" MFC program properties. Users not not having the correct version of MFC dlls on their system cannot run the programs.
What is the best solution such that any user with or without the required MFC dll can run any MFC programs?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

You're allowed to redistribute the MFC dll. There is, however, no reason why a statically linked program should load the MFC dll - are you *sure* that is the problem ?

Yeah. The program was compiled using the "static library" property for the *release*. The reason I could not get Visual C++ to include the MFC dlls inside the executable was because I have set the static library property for the debugger.
Here is my website with the programs I have been working on. I want to thank everyone for giving me pointers to problems and giving me solutions to more difficult ones.

Just link MFC statically and you'll be fine

Hi folks-
I have a CMDIChildWnd based class that has a lot of controls on it. All these controls are "hand-coded". I create them in response to WM_CREATE, resize them in response to WM_SIZE. I am not using a dialog resource for it. (The controls change at runtime based on the state of the application, therefore I dont want to use the Dialog resource)
One problem is: I have lost the ability to tab/shift-tab between the child controls. I have used the WM_TABSTOP style on all the child controls.
After searching all nite in google,cp,cg,msdn,etc..I cant find a way to do it . Can anyone help me with this ??
Thanks-
Vivek

If you call IsDialogMessage for your window, that function will do the dialog control processing for your window. If the message turns out that it is not related to dialog controls, it will automatically call your WindowProc for you.
You should do this in the message pump, or even in the pretranslate message. The point is, you do not want to dispatch the message if you send it to this function.
Good Luck.

GetForegroundWindow(), thx!
mea culpa for not finding this in MSDN, must been blind. 
Any idea how to find out if a window is (at least) partly visible - or completly covered by other windows?

I have never tried this before in C++, anyone know some api calls (not MFC)?
Thanks

That's not really the problem, it's more how to display the popup menu.

Look up TrackPopupMenu(..) in MSDN!

I am a learner of OpenGL,and use it to write a full-screen programme with big scene,in which user can walk around.Now I want to add a compass(A box and Needle)at the right-top conner of the screen to indicate the direction(just as game "Dngeon Siege").I known how to draw the appearance of the compass but do not known how to make some setting before drawing the compass.
Can you give me some code or advice?Any help are appreciated!

Thanks a lot!
I often go to http://nehe.gamedev.net/,unfortunately,I can't find what I want.
My doubt is "how to make the compass at the corner of the screen when user roam around".Or rather,how to draw a circle there when user roam:the circle is still at the corner,keep immobility,It seems that it is not associated with the 3D space!

Why not check out the source code for Quake or the Crystal Space engine at SourceForge?
There's also a beginners forum at opengl.org.
