    Application closed unexpectedly when there are mscal.ocx and msacal70.ocx registered.

    My application was built from Visual C++ version 6.0, it uses some ActiveX files, one
    of them is Mscal.ocx (Calendar Control) version 8.0.0.5007. This application was working well in Win95/NT/2000 when the mscal.ocx version 8.0.0.5007 is registered.

    Problem found when the application runs on Win 2000 Office XP which has msacal70.ocx in directory C:Program Files..., when attempting to open a calendar dialog, Microsoft error message was popped up, pressing OK button on the error message would close the application.

    After unregister msacal70.ocx and registered mscal.ocx, the calendar works properly. However, this will work only for the applications built in Visual C++ 6.00 but will not work for any Visual FoxPro applications.

    Is there any way that won't affect any apllications built by Visual C++ or Visual FoxPro while mscal.ocx can be used in C++ applications and msacal70.ocx in FoxPro in the same time without register or un-register any of the ActiveX files ?

    I am using OUTLOOK for my mail program (not Outlook Express). When I open Outlook, I get an error message that reads: "Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library. Debug Error! Abnormal program termination. Press retry to debug application." Well, when I click on RETRY, it shuts down the program. When I reopen it, it works perfectly. What can I do to eliminate this error message? Thanks

    Hi
    Is it possible to change the default file extensions that the VC++ compiler recognizes as C++ code? Specifically is it possible to define C (capital C) as C++ source code file and not as C source file
    Thank you in advance

    We have a large multiplatform C++ library that handles a complex industrial hardware on Linux and Windows. We've ported it on Zaurus with no problem. We have two obstacles on Embedded Visual C++: no support for STL streams and no support for dynamic_cast and typeid. The patch DLL is fake. Reimplementing RTTI is not our option.

    We hear that Visual C++ 2005 is going to support Pocket PC 2003 development. The question is whether it is going to have a full support of RTTI and STL?
