Following yesterday’s tip, here’s another deprecated habit that programmers should avoid. Consider the following class hierarchy: class base{public: base();};class derived: public base{public: derived() : base() {/*some code*/} // superfluous}; The
Listboxes provide suitable functionality to act as a quick queue. Create a listbox named ListMyQueue. Use this code to add to your Queue: Public Sub Enqueue(StringToAdd As String)If Len(String_to_Add) >
User-defined types are useful when you need to store structured data that has no specific behavior. If you have associated behavior, you should encapsulate the data in its own class.
Sometimes you might want an MDI form without any captions or buttons, such as in a game or acting as a background parent object. You can create a captionless MDI
