AfxGetThread and AfxGetApp return NULL on a derived CWinApp inside a DLL

Hi,

I have a huge VC6 MFC project that was converted to Visual Studio 2005
beta2. After the conversion, the application crashes because
AfxGetThread() returns NULL and thus fail on pThread->InitInstance ()
inside AfxWinMain().

I have a CWinApp derived class (e.g. CBaseWinApp) exported from a DLL.
This derived class is inherited inside the main app (e.g.
CDerivedWinApp : public CBaseApp) and serves as the global app.
instance (e.g. CDerivedWinApp theApp; ).

I can't reproduce the crash in a synthetic test environment.

Does anybody have an idea what's going on? It works perfectly OK in
VC6.
Am I missing some preliminary call to some magic macro such as
AFX_MANAGE_STAT E (which doesn't contribute in my case)??

I use AfxGetApp() in my Add-in application as follows. AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon(IDI_ICON); AfxGetApp()->BeginWaitCursor(); AfxGetApp()->EndWaitCursor(); AfxGetApp()->PumpMessage() It works well in Vc 6.0. However, AfxGetApp() returns NULL after I convert my project to Vc.NET.

Hi everyone I'm having huge difficulties overriding a virtual function with a function that returns a covariant type. I'd be grateful if someone could show me some code where this is done: - A class BaseClass is declared with a function me() that takes no arguments and returns itself, or a pointer or reference to itself. - A derived class DerivedClass that override me() that takes no arguments and returns itself, a pointer or reference...

I have a .Net Managed C++ wrapper control for a MFC control. When using the ..Net control in a Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 C# project and running in Debug mode, I get a crash saying something like "First Chance Exception : memory cannot be read". I found that this was becuase a call to AfxGetThread() was returning NULL. I tried using AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState()); but it did not solve the problem. Furthermore, this crash only...

I have created an MFC project that links MFC MFC as shared dll and uses /MD . This MFC application loads another dll B via Loadlibrary that has /MD too and also links MFC as shared dll. Dll B again loads dll C that also uses MFC as a shared DLL dll and also has /MD. Also the MFC app statically links to a .lib that has MFC linked as shared dll and has /MD Now for some odd reason when the constructor of my MFC app is called...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
