I believe that the date-time on your project files is wrong. You may have saved the 'always recompiling files' at a later date than the current system date-time.
To solve the problem, I think you can open each and every source and header file (not icons or images etc) in notepad (one at a time) and press Ctrl+S (Save) on each of them. That way they will be saved with the current date-time, and hence will require no more 'needs to be recompiled'.
this is this.

That seems to have done it! Thank you.

One more case,
If your system date has changed to a date prior to the files date....

I make NO CHANGE to any project in the solution, ask for a build and

If I build (all recompile and link) then run a debug test, I always
get the message that the project is out of date and needs to be recompiled.
In addition to the date/time issue already mentioned, I can think of another way the IDE can become confused: When you alter the place where the build-results of a sub-project are put, the IDE sometimes does not find them and tries to rebuild.
I have switched to make all my LIBs, EXEs and DLLs in the standard 'debug' and 'release'-direcories and use pre-build and post-build steps to copy them where they are needed.

I reloaded to the original location. And I use the default
location (debug). So your suggestion did not apply. But,
thanks for the thought. The first suggestion of load/save
with notepad to correct the system timestamps seems to have
worked.

hi
i am creating a win32DLL(on VS6).
could anyone please tell me what are the files to be included to call the functions in the dll and where?
1)i have created a Win32 Dll file and compiled it "successfully".It created .Lib ,.exp and .dll file(so no probs there)
2)since i have used __declspec(dllexport) i did not create DEF file.
3)i have created a simple win32 console application.the code is as follows:
#include "conio.h"
#include "Flipdll.h"
void main()
{
NumberList(); //these are functions in Flipcode.dll
LetterList();
getch();
}
1)if i compile normally it throws up "cannot open Flipdll.h file", so i copied Flipdll.h into current directory.
2)but now it throws up the error
FlipDllWin.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _LetterList
FlipDllWin.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _NumberList
Debug/FlipCodeWin.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
I have even copied the Lib file but no use
Plz guide me on this.I saw number of tutorials but all of them concentrate on Creating DLL(most of them MFC but not the basic settings like inclusion of files which are essential for a beginner.
even code project doesn't seem to have good beginner tutorials
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated

hey i copied the lib file and dll into the current working directory, and also included path of lib file in project->settings and it worked
but the problem is that whenever i update the Dll file i need to copy the lib and dll files again.isn't it a tedious process??
is there any other way without copying these 3 files(.h,.lib and .dll)??

I cant remeber exactly because I dont have vs6 on my pc.
In the project properties dialog you can enter folders to search for header and lib files. Put the relative path from your client project to the folders containing the .h and .lib files.

The simplest way is to write a Prebuild Event step that copies the .lib and .dll files.

How to write a Pre-Build event step??Any Links?
|
|
|
|

1. Open the project settings dialog and go to the pre-build tab, there you can write a command like "xcopy ${target} ..\DestinationDir" (consult the xcopy help for the exact syntax)
2. About the link problem: you may add the *.lib of your dll to the libraries your project depends on, this will cause it to be statically linked (loaded when your program loads), you can find more info on MSDN (like dynamic linking with LoadLibrary)

Cut that out, that'd be too complex. Just include the .lib in the Libraries path in Project Settings.

Hi guys,
I want to make an edit box readonly at runtime using SetWindowLong?
I did it too.
But the problem is that the background color of the control still remains white, which should be gray on setting to readonly? I tried to update it but did not work.
The same thing when done in the dialog editor works as expected. The background color of the edit box changes to gray. But at runtime it does not happen.

Why not SetReadOnly?....;)
Or handle WM_CTLCOLOR to change the background of edit...
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah that's right. I had to to it like that.
I just wanted to know why didn't it happen with SetWindowLong()
Is there any procedure to be followed after setting SetWindowLong()?
