wyrd Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 I'm looking to create old fasion Win32 apps (#include <windows.h> etc) in C++ (NOT .NET apps :)). I have VS6 and VS.NET 2002. Does VS offer any sort of intellisense for this or object browser for this (in either version)? Looking things up in the MSDN library every 2 minutes is getting fairly tiresome. :( Oh one more thing, what is the Platform SDK Update exactly? Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
*Experts* Volte Posted October 29, 2003 *Experts* Posted October 29, 2003 How is that old fasioned? That is the only way to do it (short of MFC, but that's a whole other ballgame). And since the intellisence in C++ is based entirely on the definitions of functions, as long as you've #included the proper headers, the Intellisense should be there. I think Squirm had the problem of getting no intellisense at one point, so you may wish to talk to him. Quote
wyrd Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 Old fasion to me. Hardly anyone does forms via win32 anymore (at least no one that I know). I just cracked open .NET again and started with a blank Win32 app. Now the intellisense is there. Perhaps I typed window.h and not windows.h in the first time. I'm an idiot sometimes, so it's more then likely what I did. I guess since I'm on the subject, is there any way to get an intellisense for callback functions or winapi functions? ie; WinMain() and WinProc(). I know ctrl+space brings up a list, but there are no functions listed in it. I don't have those functions memorized (just starting out with Win32). Is there any sort of object browser for non-Managed apps? Quote Gamer extraordinaire. Programmer wannabe.
