i`ve got a real simple problem but its currently preventing me from doing my work. Hope someone can help me.
Today i started working in an real big project written in c++. Im totally new with c++, development environment is MS Visual Studio c++ 6.0. My biggest problem now is to locate the method/code for form-elements. example: I have a button and like to work on an method that is called when the user hits the button. The Project consists of thousands of files (really!) and i have no idear where to find the above mentioned code.There is no object-Inspector id Property-Window where i could jump to the method. Can someone help?
Well, another problem occurs. As i told the project im working is an complet working application consisting of several sub-projects. When I open the Ressorce-file for the form and button, in contextmenue no class-wizard exists. I could create new and when i do so I can add codes for events like click or dubbleclick, but this does not solve my problem. The button is already in use, means there has to be a method in existing code for the buttonevents. How can i find them? Maybe by the id of the button?
The Class Wizard is s seperate program manages the resources and their handlers. So it manages the .rc, resource.h and adds methods to the C++ class that manages the resource, so it edits the should .h and .cpp too.
On my installation, it's the first entry under the View menu.
The ClassWizard database can be created & recreated whenever you like. It is stored a single file in your project directory, with a ".clw" extension. You can safely delete this file so next time you invoke ClassWizard, you receive the message: "ClassWizard Database does not exist, should it be created?" Just click Yes and it will repopulate itself.
VC 6.0 had a tendency to corrupt it's ClassWizard file from time to time so you'd get inconsistent information, the process above will fix it (until the next time).
