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.

Based on the OP's "It is not possible to exit VC from the task manager or kill the msdev process..." comment, he appears to have already tried that.

Sorry I completely missed that in the original posting!?! How could I have missed that. I think this summertime change makes me crazier than I thought. I promise to improve my caffeine level before posting.

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.

Can you please show us the relevant code? Because

MFC has an API for the registry?

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.

Hence run the program as administrator.
Seriously, I don't know. Maybe you'll have more luck on Vista[^] forum.

RegCreateKeyEx ( hkey, (LPCTSTR) str1, 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,
KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY | KEY_ALL_ACCESS, NULL, &childkey, &dispos ) ;
RegSetValueEx ( childkey, (LPCTSTR)str2, 0, valur_type, (const BYTE*) (LPCTSTR)str4, (str4.GetLength()+1)*2 ) ;
RegCloseKey ( childkey ) ;

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) .

Hi,
My Project is set to unicode aware, and it is fine. But when i am go for displaying a text in static control in run time, like
CStatic *p = (CStatic *)GetDlgItem (IDC_STATIC1);
p->SetWindowText ("&Login");
The text on static control should display the text as Login and the letter "L" should accompany a underline;
It is working fine with MBCS projects but not with UNICODE, How to resolve this issue?
Anyone please help,
Thanks in advance!!!!

Please when you have a problem, give a clear description. It's not working is quite vague, there could be a lot of different situations. I suppose here that your code doesn't compile.
Add a _T macro in front of your string literal:
p->SetWindowText (_T("&Login"));
|
|
|
|
|
it is fine if i give p->SetWindowText(L"&Login");,
Thanks a lot once again!
Thanks a lot

I am very new in VisualC++. I need someones help to plot the cosine wave. I can generate the amplitude at each time stamps but i dont know how to use those data draw the graph using visual C++6.
I badly need the solution.

If you are new to MFC, I stronly recommand to use an existing control. Doing it yourself is of course possible but it will probably take you much more time than you expect.
If you are interested, you can take a look at my sig, there a link to a chart control that I developped.
