      • Hi, I'm skinning my app's textbox, and I've gotten pretty far, but I'm still having a few problems, so I turn to the experts in here. This is pure Win32, not MFC. I already have my image in a DC, and I'm not interested about flexibility in here, so I resort to the following: * My (multiline) textbox is in a DialogBox, and is read-only. * I artificially set the control color to white, capturing WM_

      • My DirectX program doesn't work. It gives me no errors, but if I run it, it gives me errors. What's wrong with it I do not write my mywin.h and basic.h here, because they are not important and work correctly. Procedures from those header files are Logi, MkWin and ReggWin and TPump, so do not be confused of them, just ignore them. My code is here: main.cpp: #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

For portability I'm using standard C functionality (fopen) to open the file. When I attempt to open a file that is larger than 4 GB for reading and modifying ("r+") I get an error--invalid parameter.

      • I've come across some code syntax I've never seen. It compiled, but I don't know how, or what it even does! I've been reading a book about DirectX, and in one of the examples, this little piece of code was present: D3DXMATRIX *D3DXMatrixIdentity(D3DXMATRIX *pout); "D3DXMATRIX" is a type, of course. And "D3DXMatrixIdentity" is a function, of course. Now I don't see how this

      • Is there any option for turning off alphabetical sorting in the 2005 solution explorer I recently upgraded from VS 2003 and was quite used to having folders (filters) in the order I desired, so it's really driving me nuts. (And yes I've tried quite hard to find out how to do it before coming here) If not, are there any plugins out there that serve this purpose Thanks in advance!

      • Hi, I'm having trouble deallocating an array of classes derived from CObject. After I allocate the array with the new operator and try to deallocate it with the delete operator, an exception is raised and the debugger breaks. After continuing execution, everything works fine. The whole thing doesn't happen if I run the program by itself, without debug. It only happens in the VS debugger.

I'd like to replace some of the windows' CriticalSections used in our code for something faster. As using volatile (especially with 2003) is not very thread safe (no memory barriers, etc), i went for interlocked operations. Since the code i was suppose to patch was using something that looks like
