A giant list of resources for C++ programmers

by: Stephen Tyndall | last post by:

I'm not sure whether this counts as off-topic, but here's a huge list of books about C++ that I've found highly recommended (kind of slanted towards game programming because that's what I'm looking into). You should be able to find all of these on Amazon (except for the Barnes & Noble one). Many of these are quite expensive. After the books list is a list of magazines and a handy web resource list. After that is a list of a few games...

[API] Win32 Resources - List Icon Resource Names

by: Mythran | last post by:

I wrote some code that is supposed to enumerate through the specified file's win32 resources and return a string-array of all icon names. When it runs, it returns a string-array with a bunch of numbers in sequential order (1-55 when ran against iexplore.exe). When I open up iexplore.exe in Visual Studio, I see 23 icons. Each icon has 1 or more sizes of the icon...I'm assuming that there are, in fact, 55 icon resources in iexplore.exe,...

Image list controls and image resources

by: Mark | last post by:

Hi I notice that in some cases, to get an icon, an object (for example a list view) uses an image list, in others (e.g. a form) the image is selected from the project resources, i.e. a file. As I have images that I'd like to use in both situations I would like to use the same method for each. Preferably, as I find importing images as resources as often as not crashes VS, I would like to work with an image list.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
