MORE INFORMATION

Page 254: Code Sample Is Missing Include Statement
--------------------------------------------------

On page 254, in Listing 5-3, the code for DirList1.cpp will not compile, as it is
missing an Include statement. Note that this omission was made in the
DirList1.cpp file on the companion CD-ROM as well. If you try to build this
program, you may receive the following error:

irlist1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __stdcall 
DDX_DateTimeCtrl(class CDataExchange *,int,class CTime &)" 
(?DDX_DateTimeCtrl@@YGXPAVCDataExchange@@HAAVCTime@@@Z)
.\Debug/Dirlist1.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe

To correct the problem, the following statement should be added to the
DirList1.cpp code.

  #include "afxdtctl.h"


Page 335: MSChart.ocx Is Not A License-Free ActiveX Object
----------------------------------------------------------

On page 335, MSChart.ocx is described as a license-free ActiveX object. This is
not true. When trying to use this object, users will get a "design-time license"
error. Users must have a valid Visual Basic license in order to use
MSChart.ocx.


Microsoft Press is committed to providing informative and accurate books. All
