Alright, this is a really bad one. This line of code :- ON_WM_NCHITTEST() – which was compiling quite okay in VC++ 6 (and VC++ 7.1) suddenly throws this strange error message. error C2440: ‘static_cast’ : cannot convert from ‘UINT (__thiscall CPocket::* )(CPoint)’ to ‘LRESULT (__thiscall CWnd::* )(CPoint)’ And it also has a suggestion to fix [...]

Okay, after some Visa delays, hurried packing and travelling, Smitha and I are in Toronto now. We haven’t fully settled down yet but it’s going to take time and we both know that too. Toronto is pretty big – specially for me, coming from Trivandrum as I am, and it’s quite similar to the US [...]
