Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1

Configure VC 7 for SmartWin++

Creating a new SmartWin++ Project

Use File | New | Project | Visual C++ Projects, and then select the Win32 Project template close to the bottom. Select a directory and then enter a project name. In Application Settings, check "Empty project", and press Finish.

After you have added (and wrote !) a .cpp file, right click on the project for Properties. Then set C/C++ | Language | Enable Run-Time Type Info to Yes (/GR) for both Debug and Release.

Then set Linker | Input | Additional Dependencies to SmartWind.lib (Debug) and SmartWind.lib (Release).

Now would be a good time to build the debug and release versions to check your entries.
