N umerous people have told me that we columnists make devel-opment look a little too easy, especially since everything we do works. Readers figure that we whip up a column in half a day and spend the rest of the month lounging on the beach having ice-cold drinks delivered right to our outstretched hands. If only it were so easy. Normally, I have to get up and schlep over to get my own drink at the poolside bar!...

There is a second problem: even if we set the 32-bit associated value of each item to be the same as the item's index this example will still not work. This is because the items will shift positions after each call to MyCompareProc(...) and the 32-bit associated values will no longer represent the item's index.
The function CListCtrl::SortItems(...) is only usefull if we store a pointer in the 32-bit associated value and we want to sort the items by some value that comes from that pointer...

In part 1 I described an application that I devised as a learning project to help me get experience developing for the .NET environment, specifically ASP.NET. The application is a WEB based bug tracking tool. In the previous article I described the requirements for the application and defined the database schema to be used by the application. With that behind us we can dive right into the design of the application. Again, as I mentioned in the first article, this depicts my experience and as suc...

To reproduce the problem:
1. Create a new MFC MDI application project. 2. Run and maximize the application. 3. In maximized state, create a few MDI children and try switching between them....

Having concentrated on writing development tools for years, I always look at new operating system releases with an eye toward seeing if there’s anything new I can use to solve difficult development problems. For example, Windows® XP introduced vectored exception handling, which allows you to intercept the exception handling chain for logging and diagnostic purposes. In the November 2006 issue of MSDN® Magazine, I discussed my attempt at using that functionality to write an exception logger for M...

This is the sixth article in a series describing the development of an application I devised as a learning project. The purpose of the project was to gain experience developing in the .NET environment. The goal I had given myself was to define a web-based application and then develop the application using ASP.NET. The articles describe my implementation solution for the application. The application being developed is a full-featured bug tracking application. In the first five articles the main e...

This is the penultimate SWAT article. Only one more to complete the goals described in part 1. I'll share a secret with you, writing the articles was way harder than coding the original application. But I suppose that's also a learning experience. It's been fun and I hope that it's provided some benefit to the readers. Perhaps the application itself has found a few servers to run on. If anyone is using it and has made any enhancements please let me know so everyone can benefit or better yet writ...

In our small team, we needed a tool to track bugs found during the development cycle. Although many tools currently exist on the market, we needed something very simple, because we felt that to be effective, a bug tracking tool should allow a developer to enter a new bug in no time. As far as I was concerned, I needed no other features, that may be found in other expensive packages, or even in the beast itself....

Say goodbye to Microsoft Explorer's View Source, well almost. For those of us who do a lot of web development there has always been a need for a tool to examine the structure of documents we're working on; introducing Microsoft IE Developer Toolbar. The IE Developer Toolbar allows web developers to examine and change website's CSS, HTML, DOM, and JavaScript. Firefox web browser has enjoyed an excellent add-on, named Firebug, that provided this kind of functionality for some time now. This articl...

Have you ever had an application crash on a customer's machine and have only, "it just crashes and displays a funny message box", to go on in attempting to track down what the error was? Ever wish you could put some kind of "watchdog" that would monitor your application on the customers computer and then if it crashed, automatically scoop up where the crash happened, and allow the customer or mail this information to you? If so then BlackBox may be just what you're looking for!...

Some time ago, I was working on a multi-tier application with quite complex logic. The application was handling medical information, and it was important to correctly synchronize data under all circumstances. I put extra code to make the application as stable as possible, and added automatic backups and self-recovery. Do you think it solved all problems?
No, I was still searching for a tool to handle problems, seen by customers, remotely. How could I assist them and debug the problem if I...

We explain how to create your own minidump with Call Stack on crash or at any given moment. The demo program creates a dump (shown on the picture) and tries to create the system one with the MiniDumpWriteDump() function of DbgHelp.dll. System dump is not supported in systems other than Win XP without individual installation. The article shows how to interpret the own minidump, and what modifications to your project settings are needed. Our competitor's minidump produced by MiniDumpWriteDump() is...

One of the most sought after skills for software professionals today is not only the ability to write good quality code but also the ability to test and validate your code. This is where this tool comes into play. ScriptRunner is different from other unit testing Frameworks. In fact, ScriptRunner is a complement of a traditional unit testing Framework like CPP Unit. A Unit Testing Framework lets you test modules in your application. A module can be a library, a class (or an object) or can be a s...
