Lost Class View information in MFC Project.

[Simon Pettman]

On loading the project I am getting the message

"Cannot access the ClassView information file. ClassView information will not be available."

Subsequently the class view pane in the project navigator does not populate. As I use it quite extensively I would like to restore it.

This problem has occured before I think I deleted a file and it recreated it, but I cant remember which file it was. I have tried renaming the *.clw file but it has not rectified the problem.

Does Anyone have any suggestions?

It is one of the classical bugs of VC++.

The file to delete is ".ncb", may be the 2.clw" as well, may be the 2.opt".

Please, rate if that helps.

To restore your Class view, close your project, then delete the .ncb file.

The .ncb file contains class view information, while the .aps file contains resource information (if you select the resource tab), and the .clw file contains class wizard info.

These files will automatically be reconstructed when you need them. The .ncb is built when the project is opened.

Opening a resource in the resource tab will rebuild the .aps file or opening the Class Wizard (Ctrl-W) rebuilds the .clw and .aps files.

The .opt file only contains user preferences and as such doesn't need to be deleted.
