howto: creating custom platform for VC++ projects?

Hi,

Is there a way to create a new fully customized target for VC++
projects in VS .NET 2003? The idea is to add support for new
compilers, so you can compile the same project with different
compilers (maybe crosscompilers for other platforms) within the VS
IDE.

I assume that I need to deveop a VS add-in in order to control the
compiler and linker invokations and create the settings dialogs, but
I'm totally lost and I don't know where to start from!

Thanks in advance,

Hi - I program in C++ but I'm not good with VC++ (yet). I will like to create a custom project for which a specific template or wizard does not exist. Because the program is a console application, I started out with the Win32 Console Project template. Having done that, the problem is that my application uses a custom header files and libraries (see code below) that VC++ does not know about. My question therefore is how do I

I started to experiment with VC++ 2005 Beta1. So far everything went fine, and already have a working project, but soon I realized that the compiler was ancient (not supporting half of the C++/CLI standard). So I downloaded the VC++ 2005 Tools Refresh (http://tinyurl.com/5mdq2). After that I tried to do a full rebuild, but my project wouldn't link anymore. I get the following errors: MSVCMRTD.lib(mstartup.obj) : error LNK2022: metadata...

Hi, I can't seem to locate the visual C++ (pre .NET) ng. This may be slight off topic here - please point me to the correct ng if it is. Without going into much detail (and repeating myself several times), I am using Visual C++ 6.0 to develop applications - *instead* of .Net. I am using the MFC to create my GUI components. I am particularly interested in doing the ff with my GUI:

Hi, We are involved in a porting project (from VC++ 6.0 to .Net VC++ 7.1). ** NOT C# or VB..NET. We have a custom app wizard written in 6.0. This basically creates a project with a set of template based classes. We have to port it. But there is a significant change in the way custom app wizards are created in both the versions of vc++.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
