With the advent of VS2010 SP1, I'm once again looking at moving off VS2008 to the newer version. The main reason for this, is that as a long time VC6 user, I find ClassWizard to be a great productivity tool, and welcome its long awaited return. However, while ClassWizard works ok, I can't find any equivalent of the .CLW file necessary for creating custom DDX routines. So for example, when regularly dealing with inputting lengths in VC6, I would have the following lines in my CLW file
ExtraDDXCount=1
ExtraDDX1=E;;Length;double;0.0;Length;Atlas:Use to store lengths;;&Length;s
which would let add length variables from ClassWizard. Any idea if this is still supported in VS2010, or are we another year away from catching up with VC6?
I believe the answer is "Not with VS2010". I would like to see the ClassWizard support virtual methods from custom classes, but apparently it has a undocumented database of classes it knows about, or can figure out.
