XTP - VS C++ 2008 - WIN2K

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi,

we write software using the xtp8 developing und compiling still under VS6.

But now we want to move to VS2008.

Sofar I was able to compile our app as well as xtp8 with VS2008 on Vista.
The resulting exe runs on Vista.

But: trying to run the resulting exe on W2K gives us a hard time. It does start but all the menus are broken, i.e. the menus are there and you can open them but not read the menustrings...

well can anyone give a hint on what to do in this case ?

I tried to compile XTP8 with WINVER set to 0x500 for W2K but that didn't compile at all.

Thanx in advance
Yours Bjoern

	well meanwhile i found out that its enough to change XTPs file: "stdafx.h" and insert the following: #define _MFC_VER 0x800 #if _MFC_VER >= 0x800 #define WINVER 0x500 #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x500 #define _WIN32_WINDOWS 0x500 #define _WIN32_IE 0x500 #define USE_STD_STREAM #define HRAWINPUT DWORD #include<Vsstyle.h> #endif this way i was able to resolve the problem.
