Loading old examples with converted extensions

[Yves]

Daniel, I don't know why MMF2 doesn't detect your extension. Send me the source code if you cannot find the reason (note: do not send the .ncb file, it's huge and useless - I've a slow connection actually).

Yves was able to solve this problem for me (Twice!) - Thanks Yves <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I will post the solution here in case it is useful to anyone else. BTW: If you are updating an extension, especially one which uses VS 2003, then I recommend checking an old example to make sure it still loads.

In your Extobj.rc file, Visual Studio 2003 has a bug which causes:

[]
KPX_MAGICNUMBER RCDATA MOVEABLE PURE

BEGIN

0x2516, 0x5908

END
[/]

To become:

[]


DATA 200

BEGIN

0x2516, 0x5908

END
[/]

You need to undo this change to fix the problem.

NOTE: The number of an example file and of the extension must match so if you released a version of your extension with this bug, then you might need to change:

0x2516, 0x5908
to
0x0000, 0x0000
