Windows 10: MFC App in VS2017 on Win10

Hello,


I've followed the instructions for the MFCAnimationWalkthrough example. VS2017 Community compiled both a Debug/x86 and a Release/x64 configuration

before any changes were made. After all changes were made both configurations failed to compile. 8 errors for the Debug/x86 and 5 errors for the Release/x64 centered on 3 statements in the Animate Method of the MFCAnimationWalkthroughView Class. The code for that method follows and the 3 statements are in bold type

:

void CMFCAnimationWalkthroughView::Animate(BOOL bDirection)
{
m_bCurrentDirection = bDirection;
static UI_ANIMATION_SECONDS duration = 3;
static DOUBLE dblSpeed = 35.;
static BYTE nStartColor = 50;
static BYTE nEndColor = 255;
BYTE nRedColorFinal = bDirection nStartColor : nEndColor;
BYTE nGreenColorFinal = bDirection nStartColor : nEndColor;
BYTE nBlueColorFinal = bDirection nStartColor : nEndColor;
CLinearTransition* pRedTransition =
new CLinearTransition(duration, (DOUBLE)nRedColorFinal);
CSmoothStopTransition* pGreenTransition =
new CSmoothStopTransition(duration, (DOUBLE)nGreenColorFinal);
CLinearTransitionFromSpeed* pBlueTransition =
new CLinearTransitionFromSpeed(dblSpeed, (DOUBLE)nBlueColorFinal);
m_animationColor.AddTransition(pRedTransition,
pGreenTransition,
pBlueTransition);
CRect rectClient;
GetClientRect(rectClient);
rectClient.top += nInfoAreaHeight;
int nLeftFinal = bDirection ? rectClient.left : rectClient.CenterPoint().x;
int nTopFinal = bDirection ? rectClient.top : rectClient.CenterPoint().y;
int nRightFinal = bDirection ? rectClient.right : rectClient.CenterPoint().x;
int nBottomFinal = bDirection ? rectClient.bottom : rectClient.CenterPoint().y;
CLinearTransition* pLeftTransition =
new CLinearTransition(duration, nLeftFinal);
CLinearTransition* pTopTransition =
new CLinearTransition(duration, nTopFinal);
CLinearTransition* pRightTransition =
new CLinearTransition(duration, nRightFinal);
CLinearTransition* pBottomTransition =
new CLinearTransition(duration, nBottomFinal);
m_animationRect.AddTransition(pLeftTransition,
pTopTransition,
pRightTransition,
pBottomTransition);
CBaseKeyFrame* pKeyframeStart =
CAnimationController::GetKeyframeStoryboardStart();
CKeyFrame* pKeyFrameEnd =
m_animationController.CreateKeyframe(nAnimationGroup,
pBlueTransition);
pLeftTransition->SetKeyframes(pKeyframeStart, pKeyFrameEnd);
pTopTransition->SetKeyframes(pKeyframeStart, pKeyFrameEnd);
pRightTransition->SetKeyframes(pKeyframeStart, pKeyFrameEnd);
pBottomTransition->SetKeyframes(pKeyframeStart, pKeyFrameEnd);
m_animationController.AnimateGroup(nAnimationGroup);
}


The errors didn't make any sense to me. They said a ";" was missing before the label nStartColor and that the label was redefind in the last two statements in question. A search of the web found a couple listings of that method which matched mine to a tee. They didn't indicate that there were any errors.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!


Regards!

Toolbox VS2017

Hi DaveM121, on Vs2013 I have build several desktop appications consisting of VS user interface and Intel DLL's. This was on W7. As I upgraded to W10 its time to renew my tools.

So, I downloaded VS2017 and a new Fortran compiler.

As said, opening VS2017 and starting a new solution the toolbox is empty.

Someone suggested to enable XML in Tools-Options, but I can't find the XML option.

Then a second one suggest to get them online from within VS, but this options is not in my version of VS2017. In addition the start Page only show the" File Edit Vieuw Team Tools Window Help" selections; i.e. no Build or Debug option.

So, looking for help.

Regards

Padlocks on files in VS2017 Roaming Folder

Can anyone please help?

I have Windows 10 1709 and Visual Studio 2017RC 15.5.2

When I create an UWP App C# with Roaming Data the created file in the Roaming folder has a little Yellow Padlock in the Icon, it has a File Ownership in context menu and a Right Click shows
Personal (also with Padlock sign) and in Properties
General Advanced the Encrypt Contents to Secure Data is Ticked.

The Files will not roam to other devices I have tried without success to remove these attributes with no success.

Can Copy file and it displays a message about removing Encryption.

If I add a file to Roaming Folder manually via Windows File Explorer it picks up the same Attributes.

UWP Apps created around a month ago work OK and I can manually add a file to their Roaming folder with no issues.

I cant specifically state when this issue occurred but I have definitely updated VS2017 within this time period of working to not working.



I have installed VS2017 on a Laptop and it performs fine.



I looks like a Windows 10 issue but I only see it with VS2017 and it may have manifested itself with an update to VS2017.



Reinstalled VS2017 and things remain the same I haven't looked into regressing VS2017 but it doesn't look easy and to make investigation more difficult the older working projects will not compile on the new version.

 

VS2017 DLL Built on Windows 10 does not launch

We have a Windows 32 bit application being build on VS2017. The application utilizes C# and part is in C. The C DLL built as part of the project is xyz.dll. When the VS2017 project is built on Windows 7, the xyz.dll is loaded and the application works perfectly
on Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines. However when we build on Windows10 with VS2017 with the same project configuration properties, we find that the application fails with a message saying the xyz.dll was not found on Windows 10. It works on Windows 7. We
can confirm that the xyz.dll is present and in the appropriate path on both WIN7 and WIN10 systems.

Any insight on this matter will be helpful.
