FILE: BUG: MFC Browser Library (MFC.BSC) Is IncompleteLast reviewed: July 31, 1997Article ID: Q167734 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYThe MFC browser library (MFC.BSC) that ships with Visual C++ is incomplete. The browser cannot find some symbols in MFC (for example, References to CDC::m_hDC). There are two self-extracting files included in this article. They both contain Mfc.bsc files. Mfcbsc1.exe contains Mfc.bsc file created with Devstudio installed under the root directory of a drive. If you have installed Devstudio under the root directory of a drive, then download this file. Mfcbsc2.exe contains Mfc.bsc file created with Devstudio installed under Program Files directory. If you chose the default directory while installing Devstudio, then download this file. If you have installed Devstudio in a path that does not match any of the above two, then download any one of the files and put it in the <Drive>:\<Devstudio directory path>\vc\mfc\src directory. When you open the browse file and search for a symbol, the browser will not be able to find the sources. However, it will prompt you for the path and from then on it should be able to find the sources. This happens every time you open the browse file. Copy the .exe to the <drive>:<Devstudio directory path>\vc\mfc\src and execute it. It should extract mfc.bsc file in that directory. The following files are available for download from the Microsoft Software Library:
~ Mfcbsc1.exe (size: 2808227 bytes) ~ Mfcbsc2.exe (size: 2808579 bytes)For more information about downloading files from the Microsoft Software Library, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
