[RESOLVED] Access level for message handlers

Hi Guys,

What access level (private, public, protected) should be given to the different message handlers in my application? I generally declare all the variables for the controls as private, but are there any guidelines for these things?

No specific reason for asking all this, I just want to have consistency across my projects.

Another question that I have is that I have a project out of which I want to create another branch or version. The new variation will have a few more dialogs and features. I will be working on both of them, and want that the changes made to the common code in one of the project be automatically made to other as well. Any tool to do this?

Thanks.

Can Visual SourceSafe do what I want?

1) Always use the least exposure to accomplish your goals.

2) SourceSafe handles branches. If you are using VS-2005, consider using TFS if you need better project control.

1) Ok, thanks :).

2) SVN did exactly what I wanted.

Hmmmm, I can't rate. But, thanks a lot Sir!
