Can’t add event handlers to CMainFrame

Hi all,

strange problem...i think.

just created a new project (vc2003/w2kpro) using the xtreme toolkit with basic options. When i goto add a menu event handler to my cmainframe class, it won't let me, every other class allows the event to be created..

then i created a stand mfc project with no xtreme template, and tried to add a menu event to the cmainframe and it allowed me to !!

is it just me still asleep or just stupid, any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

This is 'normal' behaviour for Visual Studio. As soon as you change the base class to something that is not part of standard MFC, various useful functions are disabled including adding command handlers.

I believe it used to be possible (with VC6) to make some changes to a config file to add your own classes, but it's been a long time...

Anyhoo, this is not a fault of the codejock libraries.

thanks for clarifying that ICBM

yes in vc6 its possible.

just started using vc2003 past month or so.

  thanks Microsoft

I actually always add the XTP to the solution, because it then allows me to get Intellisense working as well, plus I might want to do some weird optimizations
