C++ Problem, again

[jmcoreymv]

Im trying to learn to use the CString class is VC++ 6, heres the very basic code that wont compile right, and i dont understand it.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "afx.h"
#include <iostream.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
CString strText = &quot;This is a test text string&quot;;
CString strPart = strText.Left(10);
cout << strPart;
return 0;
}


Here is the debugger output:
Compiling...
test.cpp
Linking...
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __endthreadex
nafxcwd.lib(thrdcore.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __beginthreadex
Debug/test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

Any idea on how to fix this would be appreciated, thanks.

I haven't used vc++ for a long time but I think you'll have to add stadafx.cpp and afx.cpp to your project.

 

[jmcoreymv]

stdafx.cpp is added but there is no afx.cpp only an afx.h, any ideas?

You shouldn't need to add any files/headers that have 'afx' in them if you're just working on a console application. AFX is really only used with MFC projects.

Go to Project->Settings->C/C++->(CategoryCode generation->Multithreaded

Select debug or DLL as appropriate.

ahh c++,the horrid memories. haha i am taking a class in LISP. nybody know what language that is? It's the second oldest programming language, lol. And i just learned today how to do a link list version with LISP. I definately miss C++, when it comes to linked list.

LISP, oh man. Recursion _IS_ the language! Gotta love that. I'm a C++ junkie, but in no way a Visual C++ / MFC junkie. I like high-level abstraction but Microsoft's implementation is proprietary, mono-platform, and &quot;kooky&quot; . You could avoid Microsoft crap altogether and use the STL string class instead of Microsoft's CString class.

Mark R: I tried your suggest, but got the same errors, any other ideas?

 

Go to Project|Settings... Under &quot;Microsoft Foundation Classes&quot; choose &quot;Use MFC in a Shared DLL&quot;

Recompile. It should work. You needed to link in the MFC garbage.
