where's the ClassWiz?

[Dave Cullen]

Creating my first Dialog MFC app using VC.NET. I'm used to VC6. Where's
the Class Wizzard? How do I assign variables to controls ( like CStrings
to static text boxes)? And what happened to WM_INITDIALOG? Is there
somewhere else to put initialization stuff now?

Thanks

Dave,

Have a look at the "Where Are ClassWizard and WizardBar in Visual C++
..NET?" topic in MSDN.

Some of the functionality is in the different guises of the property
pane - those cryptic buttons!

At the VC talk on tech-ed Barcelona, Steve Texeira mentioned that there was
renewed effort on improving the IDE for native C++ development. One of the
things they are looking at is bringing back some of that stuff. They are
working on a class designer. Don't know if a new MFC class wizard was in the
works though.

That is the only thing about VC6 that I still miss from time to time.

Yes, this is really exciting. Can we have it tomorrow?

What about the fact that it never hangs or crashes. And had six (count
'em) service packs? Did you like that?

Thanks. I figured out what I needed to know from that.

I did in fact like the fact that there were more regular SPs, but otoh, I
have to say that I had very little issues with VC2003 and VC2005. I admit
that I generally don't work on complex >100KLOC codebases, so that might
have something to do with it as well.

I still use VC6 from time to time to support legacy stuff, but I really
don't miss it except for the MFC wizard, which I don't use often.
But again, that might just be because of the types of projects I work on.
