Re: VS2003 bugs

Has anyone seen these problems before? VS2003.

I want to add a virtual method to my project, and I get the error

"Add/Remove of the function is impossible, because the parent class code
is read only"

Now, OF COURSE the parent class is read-only; the parent class is
CDocument, and all my
standard files such as the MFC source, Platform SDK, etc. are read-only,
but since VS
would not have to modify the parent class files anyway, it has no reason
to complain that
they are read-only!

Another recent one is when I go to add a new MFC class to my project. I
don't recall the
exact text of the message, but it said something along the lines of

Cannot add MFC classes to non-MFC projects

There is nothing I can find that suggests why VS suddenly thinks my MFC
project is no
longer an MFC project.

Two major problems here are that the messages do not have message codes
that could be
looked up; just the annoying MessageBox popping up, with no useful
information at all in
it that could be used to find an MSDN article explaining it, and that the
search mechanism
in the MSDN is so screwed up that it is useless when given the text of the
message (the
minute 500-hit limit has GOT to go! And a USABLE filter-creation
mechanism MUST be
implemented!)
