Me too... why do they do this to us? I want to upgrade but I want everything to be the same only better :) Removing my class wizard and adding the stupid add new function dialog has ruined c++!!

has ruined c++!!

The Class Wizard has nothing to do with C++, doesnt even have anything to do with MS implementation of C++.

You can customize the IDE all you want...

Also tis nothing that says you have to use the MS IDE at all, Use a "real" progammers editor and integrate the MS Compiler, Linker and other tools to your liking.

Granted it is always uncomfortable when a handy utility that you are familiar with goes away...but it really does not effect design or the code in any way.

I just installed class .NET a few hours ago and let me say that I miss the class wizard too. I do not understand why they removed that fine thing. And the new windows allow you to see 3 (!), three events instead of the old 7, seven. It is nearly unbelievable. :(
I am looking for PreTranslateMessage addition for about 15 minutes... :(

Although it is quite difficult to find everything at first after switching over to VC++ 6, I have found the interface much quicker to use now. You just select your class, go to the properties tab, and click the message maps button and all of them are there (same for overrides and events buttons). It makes it quite simple to add 5-6 message maps in a matter of seconds.

So does the class wizard... what about the add new function dialog? How do I paste, or even type freely a function delcaration. Now you have to press tab and alt-a all the time. Its stupid and anoying. Why mess with something that works fine?

Dear MattAA,

I disagree with you that everything become simpler. I think that this new look is rather nice than practical. For example changing a bool value was a single click before (Ctrl+w, click, ok). Now open resources, go deep into the tree, open properties, find the value, select combo box, click on true/false)...
I still miss the class wizard. Is there a plug-in?
