1. Yeah, that probably took a while ...
3. I think you can just tell UAC you don't care about that message any more.
It doesn't hurt anything.
4. Great that it worked. If you do anything special with a CFileDialog
(like preview) you may want to check those out closely under Vista.
5. I think it is CEditView. I haven't had any problems with CEdit controls.
6. Good stuff.

I'm sure people here would be interested in hearing about your
experience. There are many who haven't upgraded to Vista or VS 2005 that
would benefit from your journey.
Ok. Experience so far.
1. I have loaded VS2005, and downloaded and installed SP1 and then the
update for Vista.
2. I have copied a big project onto the machine (for experimentation at
this stage).
3. Compiling it with VS2005 immediately told me that I should set the "Use
as administrator" flag on VS2000 so I did this to
devenv.exe. But when I launch it (eg from the shortcut I have put on the
desk top) I still get the dialogue telling me that it is recommended to
use VS2005 SP1 as an administrator (after the UAC dialog in which I tell
it to get on with it). I haven't yet been able to find out why, and am a
little disturbed.
4. Having said that, I have rebuilt the debug version of the "solution" (3
exes and 10 DLLs) and it seems to work! [This is an initial report
only - I haven't tested lots of things - like printing. I have however
tested MIDI playback and am impressed that each application gets its own
entry in the Volume Control - which I eventually found under the heading
Volume Mixer or something like that.]
5. I must read the bugs others have reported in this thread. In
particular - is it the CEditView which is problematic (rather than CEdit)?
I can live without CEditView for now; I can't live without CEdit!
6. My patent quick and dirty method for putting bitmaps on menus (see
thread "SetMenuItemBitmaps()" 15/03) is even better on Vista. The idea
that you must only use monochrome bitmaps has obviously been consigned to
the scrap-heap, as Microsoft's default check marks are now blue. And the
menu highlight mechanism no longer inverts the colours of the bitmap,
making them much more like Word or the IDE.
