Microsoft Windows Visual C++ and Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC)
A separate text-format workspace file (with a DSW extension) has an
entry for each project in the workspace. It’s possible to have multiple
projects in a workspace, but all the examples in this Tutorial have just
one project per workspace. To work on an existing project, you tell
Visual C++ to open the DSW file and then you can edit and build the
project. The project directory also can be copied to other directory or
system and can be edited, built and run as usual. The Resource Editors:
Workspace ResourceView When you click on the ResourceView tab in the
Visual C++ Workspace window as shown below, you can select a resource
for editing by double clicking the resource such as the About dialog box
shown below. Figure 4: Visual C++ ResourceView. The main window hosts a
resource editor appropriate for the resource type. The window can also
host a WYSIWYG editor for menus and a powerful graphical editor for
dialog boxes, and it includes tools for editing icons, bitmaps, and
strings.
The dialog editor allows you to insert ActiveX controls in addition to standard Windows controls and the new Windows common controls which have been further extended in Visual C++ 6.0. Each project usually has one textformat resource script (RC) file that describes the project’s menu, dialog, string, and accelerator resources. The RC file also has #include statements to bring in resources from other subdirectories. These resources include project-specific items, such as bitmap (BMP) and icon (ICO) files, and resources common to all Visual C++ programs, such as error message strings. The resource editors can also process EXE and DLL files, so you can use the clipboard to “steal” resources, such as bitmaps and icons, from other Windows applications. The C/C++ Compiler The Visual C++ compiler can process both C source code and C++ source code. It determines the language by looking at the source code’s filename extension. A C extension indicates C source code, and CPP or CXX indicates C++ source code. The compiler is compliant with all ANSI standards, including the latest recommendations of a working group on C++ libraries, and has additional Microsoft extensions.
