I have a weird problem with VS 2010 (Premium).
- just reinstalled it
- added the WTL library files
- installed the WTL wizard
- created a “dialog” project via the WTL wizard
- compiled and run the skeleton successfully
- added a button to the dialog
- compilation now fails complaining about undefined symbols (the button IDC_xxx)
- turned off pre-compiled headers
- cleaned solution, recompiled and run successfully
- added the “onClick” handler for the button (just by double clicking on the button, no code added)
- compilation fails complaining that
CUpdateUIis not defined - clean, reanalyze the solution, etc. doesn’t solve the issue
If I manually insert #include‘s (e.g. atlframe.h for CUpdateUI) I can make it work but this defeat the purpose of using VS2010!
What really annoys me is that I havent touched a single line of code, everything has been done through VS which, I hoped, should have cared for consistency!
Is it my fault? WTL fault? VS Fault? Any suggestion on how I could fix this?
Ok, solved thanks to the awesomeness of Stack Overflow!
It seems there’s a bug in the WTL 8.1 Wizard. It doesn’t define the WTL_USE_CPP symbol that is needed to make everything work correctly.
