I think microsoft doesnt support wtl for one reason, They dont have to! or in other words, it wont make them any more money(and thats all they care about), they know that 90% of people will continue to use the arcane, buggy, and overcomplicated MFC libs even if they dont like it because its (sadly) become the "standard" for writting windows apps, and since its what "most people use", even the people that hate MFC (like me), are sometimes FORCED to use it, i had a customer (a systems manager for a hotel in my city) that told me exacly this: "if you dont do it on MFC, then i dont want it", when i asked her why, her answer was sadly true: "because if you do it on wtl, W32, or whatever, i will have a hard time finding some one to maintain it, but if you do it on MFC, then finding someone that knows/uses MFC is not a problem".
I think that microsoft should make WTL open source, its (in my opinion) a GREAT library that should continue to get supported, documented, etc.

Agreed, too few update to MFC/ATL and the IDE now mix-up with .nut, which make C/C++ more complicated as before.

When i am using it in ActiveX control, it is doing some odd stuff like on SetPos it doesnt show progress bar in right possition, quite frankly on first call it sets it to 2/3 and it stays there... anyone knows why and how to fix it (and I do know how to use progress bar ctrl  )

According instruction, I try to install WTL 7.0 step by step. The wizard icon appears in the new/project dialog, but when I create a new project, it said: Object with program ID VsWizard.VsWizardEngine can not be created. Why? Could you help me? Thank you.

The WTL 7.0 Wizard isn't immediately compatible with VS.NET 2003 (there's some registry key differences). However, it can be fixed See this[^]

Considering a vector could grow, is it wise to make vectors (and other STL containers) part of a class definition?
If it's OK, is there a way to do it safely?
Thanks.

You mean as members of a class??? Yes, it's safe - they manage space allocated on the heap, not in the class itself (i.e. the vector object just contains a pointer to it's contents).

Thanks for replying, and thanks for the reassurance.
I was beginning to suspect a program I'm currently working with, was causing all the problems I was experiencing from it because of the vectors (of strings) that were defined in one of its classes. The vectors were growing by leaps and bounds and I was suspecting the extra memory they were using, were encroaching in other territories.

Why do you think that a vector growing is a bad thing?

Hi Dears
I've created an Exchange 2000 Store Event Sink in Visual C++ using

I've also created a COM+ Event Sink Application usin

Now I have to register my "Event Sink"
There is some guidance on thr URL

But I think it's for Visual Basic not for Visual C++ implementation
Please help me...................
I'll be very grateful to you.

STL messages output by VC++ 6.0 compiler is something that should be shun at any cost. Is there a way someone can get something more sane from the compiler when it is outputting STL messages?
Is there a way to suppress STL warning messages?
Thanks.

One solution is to set the compiler error/warning level under configuration properties.

There are a few things that you can try. If you build with your warning level at 3 which is the default setting you can get rid of most of the warnings by using:
#pragma warning(disable:4786)
which solves warning C4786 - 'identifier' : identifier was truncated to 'number' characters in the debug information. It's perfectly safe to do that, Microsoft say it's a limitation of the debugger rather than the compiler.
If you need to run at warning level 4, you can try the article STL without warnings[^]
If you're having trouble you can have a look at an STL Error Decryptor at STLFilt: An STL Error Message Decryptor for C++[^]
Most of the STL Error Decryptors are based on the material from the CUJ article by Leor Zolman, An STL Error Message Decryptor for Visual C++[^]

Hi,
I want to create an ATL componenet or
control that "catches" all windows messages for a specific hWnd and raises its
own event. Basically I want to be able to create an instance of the control,
pass to it an hWnd and whenever that hWnd receives a windows message I want it
to raise an event. The primary use will be to allow eVB users to subclass
controls.Pls help.Pls provide any sampls or links if possible.
Thnks in advance

Hi,
I have a class similar to the one below:
class CBook{
public:
char m_szAuthor[256];
char m_szBookname[256];
long m_nID;
};
I need to store a list of thousands of CBook objects. I need to do sorting on the list.
Assuming that I am going to use the std::list STL object, would it be better for me to create a list of objects or of pointers?
ie: list<cbook> or list<cbook*> ?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy.

It depends on how 'expensive' copying your objects is. If all you need to coppy is two pointers to strings (std::string or CString) and a long int, probably having a list < Book > is OK. But if you need to store a lot of data in your objects, copying around the elements gets expensive.
The downside for a list < Book* > is that you need to provide all kind of sorting functionality yourself (as you do not want to sort on your pointers numerical value, but on the property of the underlying object. You end up writing a lot of functors yourself.
Maybe you can write some sort of proxy-class, which contains a pointer to a Book-object with all the data, and provides the needed operators to get sorted automatically by the STL-build in routines. operator!=() and operator<() should be sufficient for sorting. Additionally you would probably need constructor/destructor, copy-constructor and assignment-operator, You would then have the best of both worlds: Transparent working with the proxy-objects and cheap copying.

Thanks for your quick and comprehensive answer.
Are you aware of any such proxy-objects? Perhaps auto_ptr would do the trick?
Copying could be quite expensive since much more data could exist in the CBook class.
