MFC Extension Library
CJ60 Version 6.07 Readme

This release is the result of your comments, and suggestions. I received several suggestions and bug reports, which I believe most have been addressed and fixed with this release. Please remember there is not a "team" of developers maintaining this code, only I, and it is done in my spare time, so you can expect some bugs. If you have comments or suggestions, feel free to drop me a line at kstowell@codejockeys.com

The original library (MFCXLib) was renamed to CJ60Lib, in order to break any links that may have been established with any applications using the old library, and to establish a version control system. The library has the same functionality as the old one, however, there have been several enhancements for compatibility with Visual C++ 6.0.

Follow these steps to setup your application to use CJ60Lib MFC extension library:

• In your project settings, select the General tab. Make sure that Microsoft Foundation Class is set to Use MFC in a shared DLL.
• In your project settings, select the Link tab. Set the Category to Input, and add ../Lib to Additional Library Path.
• While still in the Link tab, change Category to General. For Output Name (All Configurations), build to the ../Lib directory. This makes the execution and debugging easier, since both DLL and EXE are located in the same directory. An example of this would be: ../Lib/MyDemo.exe.
• Select the C/C++ tab next. Change Category to Preprocessor, and add ../Include to Additional Include Directories.
• The last step would be to add the following two lines of code to your StdAfx.h header file, which will import all exported classes, and grant access to your entire application:

#include <CJ60Lib.h>

In order to statically link to CJ60Lib, make the following changes:

• In your project settings, select the General tab. Make sure that Microsoft Foundation Class is set to Use MFC in a static library.
• You will need to copy the resources from the CJ60 library to your project. The easiest way to do this is to open the file CJ60Lib.rc, then drag and drop the resources into your project

This library was written for version 4.71 or later of comctl32.dll. If you have an older version, you can download the latest version from the Microsoft site. Follow this link if you have an older version of comctl32.dll. It is important to note that the library will not load if your comctl32.dll version is older than 4.71.

Build errors, what to do:

If you receive the following build error "#error : CJ60Lib requires a newer version of the SDK than you have!", this means that you most likely are using Visual C++ 5, and either do not have the platform SDK installed, or you have an older version. You will need to download the latest version from Microsoft. To get it, follow this link.

If you receive the following build error " Error: Can't find file CJ60Libd.lib." This means you haven't built the library yet. YOU NEED TO BUILD the library first, this will generate the .lib and .dll files needed by the examples.
