I use visual studio 6 and I find it very hard to read prof-uis codes because the tabs/indents are pretty messed up. Was it some form of obfuscation?I wonder if your editor like in VS2003/2005 makes it prettier.

I do use alt-F8 to auto-indent them while reading but ... oh well, just one of my gripes, other than this, your code is great. Cheers!

We support four versions of Visual C++:

1) Visual C++ 6.0, which is still the most convinient IDE in our opinion. And, of course, the fastest.

2) Visual C++ 7.0 (some people may use it).

3) Visual C++ 7.1.

4) Visual C++ 8.0 is used mainly for x64 platform development. It is handy for debugging purposes but has a slow compiling speed.

For all the versions we are using class wizard. The names of Prof-UIS classes have an inverse word order and internal methods start from the "_" charater. Here is a typical list of class methods:

    // internal methods at the top
_InternalMethod1()
_InternalMethod2()
_InternalMethod3()
    // class interface methpds
ItemAdd()
ItemInsert() 
ItemGetAt() 
ItemRemove()
    // message handlers and others
OnSomeCmd()
OnSomeMsg()
PostNcDestroy()
PreSubclassWindow() 
PreTranslateMessage() 
WindowProc()

We do not use any automatic formatting and think the indents in Prof-UIS code are optimal for reading and debugging.
