First of all you need to go to "control panel\Administrative Tools\Data Sources (ODBC)" and prepare a DSN (Data Source Name). You should define a path to your database file (e.g MyDatabase.mdb) there.
After that you must add a class to your project, base on ODBC, and define that DSN as database source.
finally costruct an object from new class and enjoy!
Note that you can change the path of your database file in "GetDefault...()"
function within your new database class (Sorry! I couldn't remember the full name of that function Laugh | :laugh:

)

You can always do this even after a project has been created by using ClassWizard (Ctrl+W) to derive a class from CRecordset. A DSN (that layer between your code and the database) is nice but it is not necessary.

Mfc ClassWizard hangs VC6

I am stuck trying to develop an application in Visual C++ 6 and MFC. Unfortunately I have ran into a problem before even getting started. When I use the ClassWizard to create a new class for a dialog (or try to use the ClassWizard generally) Visual C++ hangs. It is not possible to exit VC from the task manager or kill the msdev process, It doen't even die if I log off and log in again. The only way to kill it is to press the power button.

The workspace I have created is a dialog based Mfc AppWizard(exe) with 3d controls and ActiveX. I have the same problem with VC6 SP5 and without any sp installed. The computer I use is Windows XP SP2.

Does anybody have an idea what the problem is and what I can do about it?

//Thanks in advance

Hi Martin! Probably someone has a better answer... this is just a shot into the blue.

Try to cleanup generated files, they will be recreated automatically when needed. Delete files with the following extension: .ncb .opt .plg .aps .clw - especially the last one always makes problem for me when I add files/classes without using the wizard, I delete it in regular intervals.

If VC crashs you might need to end the hanging process in the task manager, the process is called MSDEV.EXE. That's the quickest solution, if you don't end it you can often not restart VC.

Hope it helps.

Worth a try. Is there a patch to debug static variables for vc6 (preprocessor pack)? The only one I have is for sp5.

Hei,

Register the VC6 environment variables and see if that fixes your problem.

Try using Process Explorer from sysinternals. It's more effective than Task Manager at killing tasks. Though I can't guarantee that it will kill msdev. It does, however, kill VS 2005 when task manager fails so I'm assuming that it will work for msdev too.

Be aware that RegSetValueEx's cbData parameter should be the size of the string expressed in bytes, i.e. (string length + 1)*2 for UNICODE strings.

I don't see any REG_BINARY in your code.

BTW To maintain generic text mappings, I suggest you to change from (str4.GetLength()+1)*2
to (str4.GetLength()+1) * sizeof(TCHAR) .
