Migrating from Borland to Visual C++ question.

[GeoWah]

Hello,

I'm migrating from the Borland 5.02 compiler to VC++ 6.0 and I've noticed that when you create a non MFC project (Win32 Application) in VC you are not given the option of linking the lib's statically or dynamically as you are in Borland's compiler.

In the Borland compiler there are two radio buttons labeled static and dynamic and it's as simple as that. In VC you're only given that option for MFC apps, as far as I can tell.

So how do you toggle it for Win32 (API) apps?

Thanks and Regards,
George W.

You're wrong. VisualC++ have a dropdown list box where you can choose, to use MFC like a statically linked library or as a shared .dll. You can specify it while creating project with the wizard or after creating it, from menu.

You didn't read my post carefully, I said NON MFC projects.

I know about the MFC dropdown list box but i'm talking about API projects that are setup when you select 'Win32 Application' from the new projects tab.

I'm starting to think that Borland uses a custom library for their api apps which is why linking was an issue but Microsoft api apps just link to the standard Windows libs so there's no need for a choice.

Thanks for your reply,
George W.

That's true.
