Using Visual Studio 2005 (MFC C++ application), when I create a Control Variable on a dialog it takes about 5 minutes. However if I disconnect from our network it works as normal. I have reset all reference to network drives to local drives, does anyone know what is causing this. Many thanks...

When I need to wait for some activity, do I need to place the call to PumpMessage queue into each dialog or just the main dialog of the program. They may be 10 dialogs, but 2 will need to do lengthly processing. Many thanks, Porto.

When adding new control variables to dialog items, it takes about 4 minutes before I get the window to specify the vairable name. Now my application has about 12 dialog windows to date, but are they anyway to cut this time down. It gets a bit better for the 3rd or 4th control variable. But I...

Thanks Salen, that works fine. But would like to understand why in VS 2003 unsigned long worked, but with VS 2005 I have to change to unsigned short. Many thanks, Andy.

What I do is form a union with a buffer unsigned short buffer[32]; So that I can modify a single field, but send the message by using the buffer. The code did work in VS 2003; just a problem with VS 2005; or have I got a setting wrong or just do as you say - IT WORKS! But don't know why...

I am trying to define a structure such that its not padded out to the nearest byte. I did think that the directive #pragma pack(1) meant that across a 32 bit (4 byte) boundry all the bits are used. e.g. #pragma pack(1) typedef __declspec(align(1)) struct{ unsigned long...
