Toolbar & OnUpdateCmdUI - some Buttons are more buttons than others.
Hello, I have an application with a toolbar and I'm using OnUpdateCmdUI to update Toolbar-Button states. The Toolbar is derived from CToolbar and has just a few additions.

App local deployment with VC 2010
Ok, the bad guys *were* waiting behind the rocks.

I remember struggling to deploy a VS 2008 program, with MFC and CRT DLLs in the program's own folder (until I got help here with what to put in the manifest). I had heard a rumour, and the help system *seems* to confirm it, that the manifest is no longer necessary for this with VS 2010. The program will fi... 27 May 2010 18:11
