Programming for Vista ?
in [MFC]

From: Robert A. on 8 Dec 2006 15:49 Hi guys, Will programming for Vista be much different than WinXP ? Will MFC still essentially be wrapper classes for the underlying Win32 SDK ? I'm still using VC6, I never switched to .NET, and I'm getting a little worried. Thanks.
From: Jonathan Wood on 8 Dec 2006 15:57 No, Vista is not much different than programming XP. Microsoft won't sell many copies of Vista if all the existing XP software won't run on it. That said, I would recommend an upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio to get better support for XP themes, etc. In addition, I think some MFC extensions will be made available to support some new features in Vista. Not sure how those will be made available but they would probably be worth having as well. -- Jonathan Wood SoftCircuits Programming http://www.softcircuits.com "Robert A." <invalid(a)invalid.org> wrote in message news:ePTSMpwGHHA.3268(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Hi guys, > > Will programming for Vista be much different than WinXP ?

This should not be a worry at all. Only thing we have to note is how well newer versions of MFC support the new features. It may be that you will have to resort to Win32 to get those. I dont see MSFT release those features in managed code only. -- Ajay Kalra [MVP - VC++] ajaykalra(a)yahoo.com
From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 8 Dec 2006 16:09 Yes. As far as I can tell, it's the same MFC that we've been using for years. There's a rumor that VS6 actually won't run under Vista (I forget the reasons, but I think it is due to some deprecated APIs...anyone know anything definite?) but VS.NET 2005 definitely will. So you may be forced to change if that rumor is true. I don't have Vista yet. The beta released wouldn't install because I had to get an activation key, which requires a Passport account, which requires I enable JavaVirus, whcih in its current unsecurable form will happen about the time that Bill Gates announces that the Macintosh has won the desktop platform market. joe On Fri, 08 Dec 2006 15:49:01 -0500, "Robert A." <invalid(a)invalid.org> wrote: >Hi guys, > >Will programming for Vista be much different than WinXP ?

MSDN now has the release candidate of Vista, I guess you still need to have passport account, -- Ajay Kalra [MVP - VC++] ajaykalra(a)yahoo.com
