uh... visual C++ is a part of visual studio. i will officially call you stupid...
when you hear something about "microsoft office" and youre looking for "microsoft word" do you ignore it?

ok ok, i guess ill have to call you a wiener again. the program i have is just c++, i dont know anything about visual studio or any of that crap - hence me calling myself a newb in my original post. i just asked for help on something im completely ignorant in from someone who is obviously not. so from this day forth i will be officially stupid and you are a typing wiener.

Got it. Lax, might wanna relax some sir. And might want to refine your directions for those who don't use Visual Studio on a daily basis or are complete noobs (if you know what I mean). I believe that's where people are getting confused. Not trying to be a dick or anything, just being thorough so threads/posts like this ceases to happen again.

Nah, that won't work, we'll still get threads and posts like this. No matter what you do some people just refuse to read the various help files and topics before they open their mouths. The whole "instant gratification society" thing.

Sounds like they may have read the information and just did not get it.
Don't yell at people who ride the short bus.

Coffee isn't done yet. Must post. No time to write in plain english.
1. The manual clicky for macroquest sucks.
2. The boards' search feature rocks.
3. Developers and their time are precious.
4. It is faster in the long run to become good at finding answers yourself than convincing a stranger you are worth their time.
5. It's fun to actually figure out stuff.
6. Always google before you open your mouth.
7. Be prepared, or have a good excuse why you're not.
8. Expect to be teased for no apparent reason.
9. Never underestimate who you are talking to.
10. You attract what you project.
