I have the main window that has lots of buttons, images text areas etc. inside.

How do I add vertical scrolling to the window?

I added WS_VSCROLL to CreateWindow, so now I have the scrollbar that does nothing.

Do I need to manually decide and describe how to redraw all different elements inside the main window or is there some  generic code /  function that will do it for any kind of content that I could use?

Thank you

I find in code the following instructions. What do they mean ? 

uint32_t
uint64_t
uint8_t

Kind Regards,

I've some problems understanding the idea behind REST. Can someone explain me how this can ever work? ... whitout session on the server it's already pretty difficult to do a login. ... well, no, that's not the correct word. Not difficult, but pretty inefficient. I would have to send the session always within my request. And... how would you do a Diffie-Hellman in a REST environment? ... to be honest. To me it seems to be an idea like communism. Totally overshot the target. ... as far as I understood this, it's comming from people having problems with things like rpc (those crap implementation we had) ... but, in the end... is not everything "rpc" ... a "remote procedure call" ? ... what happens if you send a "GET" command in http to the server? It unpacks it and calls a function internally... so, isn't this rpc then?? (ok, that's a second question... but, that's why I marked it as "discussion").

... ok, could have asked this in an other forum. But I cannot move it ...

How do I start the Visual Studio IDE so that I can start coding a C++ program?

How do I edit that code once I have entered it ?

hello,

first of all : All of my declared functions (in the headers) are also defined (in the cpp files) . my templates are all defined in the headers.

I assume that the linker doesnt find the files even though the auto completion does.

to the problem:

i get a LNK2019 error by calling the constructor of the "UiTransform2dComponent" class, but the constructor is defined in the cpp file. if i remove the line

CreateComponentNew<UiTransform2dComponent>(buttonElem);

it will compile fine.

AZ::Entity* CreateUIElements::CreateButtonNew(const char* name, bool atRoot, AZ::EntityId parent, UiTransform2dInterface::Anchors anchors, UiTransform2dInterface::Offsets offsets, const char* text, ColorF baseColor, ColorF selectedColor, ColorF pressedColor, ColorF textColor)

}

doing this will throw an LNK error too:

UiTransform2dComponent* t = new UiTransform2dComponent()

Good day. Where I can find full documentation for x64 asm (MASM)?

Some operators or directives not work in x64 (but work in x86_32)

Example:

SomeStruct STRUCT
    var1 DWORD ?
SomeStruct ENDS

......

movzx eax, (SomeStruct PTR [rsi]).var1

or

s SomeStruct <>

......

push OFFSET s

Using class wizard this morning I'm starting to get catastrophic failures after adding a number of functions to a class.  It seems to happen after using the add event option in the ribbon editor, which is painfully slow particularly adding a number of member functions for a number of buttons.  Class wizard is also slow (~20 seconds to add a member function) but better at adding more than one member at a time.

Is there any way of cleaning up the class wizard files to speed things up and makes them more reliable?  The .sdf file associated with my project is 246mb and I also see a .VC.DB file of 172mb.  Back in the early days of Visual C++ class wizard data was held in a .CLW text file which could be edited easily enough.  VS version details and crash screen below.

Hi,

I would like to use an image collection, and button and only this in my toolbar.

I'm trying to use SetUserImages and InsertButton from my CMFCToolBar, but ... nothing is displayed

I'm thinking I've made something wrong, no call to loadbitmap nor loadtoolbar, but OnPaint test pImage validity which is avery times wrong.

could anyone help me please ?

Thanks

I'm working from the Heart Rate Monitor example presented in 
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Bluetooth-Generic-5a99ef95#content

I only have changed the UUID so it connects to the generic access (0x1800) service on my own BLE device. The device does appear but when I click on it, the service is not created.

As far as I understand, the operation
return create_task(GattDeviceService::FromIdAsync(device->Id))
            .then([this, device] (GattDeviceService^ service)

doesn't work or at least the access is not granted, so the verification 

if (service != nullptr)
            {
                this->service = service;
                IsServiceInitialized = true;
                return ConfigureServiceForNotificationsAsync();
            }
            else
            {
				MainPage::Current->NotifyUser(device->Id, NotifyType::StatusMessage);
            }

is false and the program stops.
The device is well paired, otherwise it would be found by the code.

I managed to get the Device ID  returned by windows, which is this:
\\?\BTHLEDevice#{00001800-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}_d2f28afd324a#&&1a50d254&9&001#{6e3bbb679-4372-40c8-9eaa-4509df2-60cd8}

What am I doing wrong?

Recently migrated all VC++ projects from VS2012 to VS2015, all the other projects compiled fine. There is one project that is giving a linker error in VS2015. It worked fine in VS2012.

That project has references to 2 libs, rpcns4.lib and rpcrt4.lib in its project settings.

The linker error is...

Hello all,

I & my friend use Visual studio 2008 Professional Edition Version 9.0.21022.8 RTM
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 3.5 SP1.

I have written following code in a function for declaring an array of characters:

char szTemp[1024] = {'\0'};

I compile this function using following options

>cl /GS- /D /Oi- /LD /W3

and link using following options:

>link  /NODEFAULTLIB

machine code generated at my computer for above line is simply 

rep stosd

stosw

stosb

instructions.

But when I compile same function on my Friends computer I get machine code calling to memset() function as folowos

push 3ff

push 0

push eax ; eax contains address of stack i.e buffer

call 401c80 ;this is memset function.

We both use windows 7 Professional SP1 on x64 based machine.

Can anyone tell me why this difference is observed?

Also is there any way to generate same code on both the machines?

Also let me know if I need to provide any additional information.

Thanks in advance,

sb.Ajay

When MFC-based application has the main window maximized on Windows 10, the title of the window/application disappears (it's white text on white background). This happens when 'Application look' is set to anything else than 'Windows XP'.

If user sets 'Settings'-'Personalization'-'Colors'-'Show color on Start, taskbar, action center and title bar' to ON, then the main window title appears again.

This happens on MFC-based SDI-type applications with ribbon, please see screenshots below. Have verified on application compiled with VS2012 and VS2015.

When dialog is maximized:

When dialog as a regular window:

Same as https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/5740af95-ec61-4f6a-b46b-ad22521e4609/cedit-posfromchar-broken

but nothing has changed since 2011. The documentation is still wrong and / or the function is not doing what the documentation says. 

If the documentation is wrong how do I get the point behind the last character, I want to call SetCaretPos(point) to move the caret.

Thanks for the help,

Nearly the same as in https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/792e8c94-2d9b-4e8c-b597-7ac39764f564/#2b256084-e023-482f-b089-1498049f63fd. If text is selected the text is not replaced instead the pasted text is inserted in front of the selection.

Workaround:

      const int nSelected = nEndOld - nBeginOld;

 __super::OnPaste();

      // Hack Begin: CMFCMaskedEdit __super::OnPaste() inserts the string instead of replacing it, so we must remove the previously selected portion ourself
      CString str;
      GetWindowText(str);

      const int nInserted = str.GetLength() - strOld.GetLength();
      const int nLeft = nBeginOld + nInserted;
      CString strNew(str);
      strNew = strNew.Left(nLeft);
      strNew += str.Right(strOld.GetLength() - nEndOld);
      SetWindowText(strNew);
      SetSelEx(nLeft, nLeft);
      // Hack End

Hi Folks

I have been adding a registry key in HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run with my installer. This works fine for Windows 7, but the registry entry doesn't get created for Windows 10.

Any help is appreciated

Hi,

My name is Ravi Shankar,

I am copying Draft_model(application file generated after build) to different folders and trying to run for parallel execution of the code for different inputs. When I try to do that, message "draft_model.exe is stopped working" is popping up.

Please help me with this.

Hello!

I am having problems with fully utilizing memory profiling capabilities of Visual Studio 2015 in my C++ application (I am building the application with VS2015 (v140) platform toolset)

The memory profiling tool seems to have no problems with assigning types to objects allocated with the 'new' keyword (and with displaying this information in heap snapshots). However a lot of the old code in the application uses '_aligned_malloc' for heap memory allocations and these allocations are categorized as "Unresolved allocations" in heap snapshots.

According to this blog post"allocators in the CRT (new, malloc, …) and Windows SDK have been annotated at the source level so that their allocation data can be captured and mapped to the corresponding symbols", so there is some indication that memory profiler in theory should successfully assign type information to data allocated by '_aligned_malloc'. And indeed, if we look at the declaration of '_aligned_malloc' we will see

_Check_return_ _Ret_maybenull_ _Post_writable_byte_size_(_Size)
_ACRTIMP _CRTALLOCATOR _CRTRESTRICT
void* __cdecl _aligned_malloc(
    _In_ _CRT_GUARDOVERFLOW size_t _Size,
    _In_                    size_t _Alignment
    );

The interesting thing here is '_CRTALLOCATOR' macro, which definition is

#if _MSC_VER >= 1900 && !defined __EDG__ && !defined _CORECRT_BUILD
    #define _CRTALLOCATOR __declspec(allocator)
#else
    #define _CRTALLOCATOR
#endif

So, in the same blog post that I've linked above there is a mention that to allow the memory profiler to gather information from custom allocators one should decorate them with '__declspec(allocator)' which can be seen in the first #if-#endif branch above. But IntelliSense shows that the second #if-#endif branch is actually used and the macro is defined as empty (which essentially means that there is no '__declspec(allocator)' decorating '_aligned_malloc'). One would think that this is why allocations end up in "Unresolved allocations" category. According to IntelliSense '_MSC_VER' == 1900, '_CORECRT_BUILD' is undefined but '__EDG__' == 1. (I wasn't able to dig anything useful about the nature of '__EDG__' macro except that it may be related toEdison Design Group, which product is apparently used in some part of IntelliSense).

What confuses me is that allocations done with the regular 'malloc' (which is also annotated by an empty '_CRTALLOCATOR', so no '__declspec(allocator)') are correctly categorized.

The question is - does the memory profiler supports aligned allocations and what should I do to make the '_aligned_malloc' allocations processed correctly if it does?
