I am using VC 6 and have an application which links in several static libraries. Everything had been working fine but now when I build the main exe I get the following error:

...

I seem to have fixed this. I was creating the thread in the OnInitDialog of my CDialog derived class. Doing so causes a stack overflow in the thread. However, if I start the thread after OnInitDialog...

I have a worker thread which I start with AfxBeginThread. This threads tries to download a file from FTP but when it hits the GetFile function it causes a stack overflow and Visual Studio disappears....

I solved this myself and thougt I would update the thread. I then tried using Outlook Express and got the same error. This made me realise it must be a problem with the settings of my local SMTP...

I have installed IIS on my local machine. The SMTP is setup to then relay the messages through a remote smtp server. If I just drop email text files in the pickup directory it works fine. However, in...

No I'm not and as stated in the original post, it works fine on a non-virtual machine. It is only on a virtual machine that this happens. Your blind guess wouldn't work on either ;)

I have an application which creates a local directory. Later on, elsewhere in the code this path is checked by using GetFileAttributes and checking that the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY flag was present....

I have a time_t structure with the current date/time.

What I want is to work out yesterday's date from this. Just subtracting one from the day is not enough as it needs to take the first of the...

I am sure I have used the equivalent function in .NET to do this but on Visual C++ 6 it doesn't like me trying to copy files using a wildcard to a new directory.

Like:

See, I said my brain had given up for the day.

This is something really easy but my brain is struggling today. I have a long which has a value of 10. I want to convert it to negative (i.e. -10)

I am using

lValue = lValue - (lValue * 2);

It compiles now. Many thanks for your help.

map < string, vector <CMyClass> >::iterator i = m_MyMap.find("sometext");

CMyClass data;
// code to set data removed

(*i)->push_back(data);


I've removed the checks on the find for...

I was expecting to do a find on the map, and with the iterator of this do:

(*i)->push_back(data);

This doesn't compile. So how would I push a new element to the vector?

first time with maps. I have been reading up but I was under the impression if I called find for a specific string key, I would just get a copy of the vector in the map. Therefore any push_back...

I want a map like this:

map< string, vector<CMyClass> > m_mymap;

Does anyone have any examples of inserting into a map like this, finding particular keys, getting the vector and adding to the...

Yes, that's the answer I was expecting but it's not catching it. I'm not really sure why.

I am having to use some old legacy code which throws HRESULTS. How do I catch these exceptions? What is the catch parameter for it?
