I am currently learning C++ and QT, I'm just wondering how many of your guys develop for windows
specifically for do you target mac and linux too, or are you developing games? Most important is
the uptake of the .Net framework, just how many people are developing for it, is it really as big /
important as everyone on the net suggests? Would love to hear everyones views!...

I'm making a program which uses several windows. I thought I'd reduce the amount of coding
in my program by making a function which does everything that is needed to open a window, since all
of the windows I need are basically the same. In fact, the only way they really differ is that they
all use different message procedures. The code below, therefore, accepts a window class which
already has a value in the .lpszClassName variable and the .lpfnWndProc variable. The rest of the
window class in then filled with default values, the class in registered, a window i...

I'm thinking about making a Windows Service in C++. I found some sample code, and it all makes
sense, except I'm wondering if it's possible to detect whether my exe is running as a
Service. I'd like to have it perform this check when the app starts. Then if it is running as a
Service, it'll go ahead and call StartServiceCtrlDispatcher(), otherwise some other action can
be performed. ...

Hopefully I can explain my problem clearly. If not, please ask any questions to clarify. I'm
looking at an issue where I'd need to make reference counted smart pointers multi-thread safe on
a UNIX platform via mutexes. Object-embedded mutexes are not an option because of the memory
footprint increase. Therefore, it was decided we use a static mutex that locks the entire class out
from the reference count (i.e., only one smart pointer on the entire system at a time can do a
reference count operation). BTW, these design decisions aren't mine to make. The issu...

The project leader has emailed me telling to post to C++ forums because they are planning to create
KHTML for Windows. Search at sourceforge.net about it. You will find that project interesting....
