I wonder for if I have a made a formapplication in VC++ 2008 Express Edtion that consists of 10 forms and I am for the moment writing code in Form10 and then want to compile and test the function.
What I wonder is if I only can compile Form10 and not the whole application(10 Forms)(F7) everytime because each compiliation takes about 1-2 minutes and then perheps this is not neccesary to do.
Is it possible to only compile Form10 and make the changes work ?
Try ctrl-F7 ??
I tried Ctrl-F7 and it compiled the form3 for example.
You can only Ctrl-F7(Compile) if you Select Form3.resx. It is also possible to
rightclick Form3.resx and choose Compile.
If I do this with a change I did in Form3, the change that I did is not changed anyway.
I need to F7(Build Solution) in order to make the change.
This should be possible to do as I can imagine. Think of if you have a big project, say 50 Forms, that would take 3-4 minutes to compile.
For the moment when I am working I perheps Compiles about 60 times during a day to see the changes and by this I loose 2 hours only compiling.
Try ctrl-F7 ??
I'm not sure, but if you just hit F5, only code that changed will recompile. Unmodified code will be left as it was. But I might be wrong and I can't test it right now.
If I press F5, it still takes exactly the same time for the compiler to compile, (1 min 15 sek) as if I pressed F7.
I can see the compiler go through 7 of 10 forms and not only Form3 where I did a minimal change to a string.
If this is possible to only compile one Form, it would be so great but cant find anything in the menus or on the net if it is possible.
