Re: AfxGetApp() returns NULL

Sounds like I've been using the wrong editor :o)

A decent editor handles the continuation-of-parameters so easily that it doesn't even
require work or thought. It just gets it right. My editor gets those parameters lined up
in a column, and all I have to do is type each one, and hit <enter>! I don't need to hit
a tab key at all. It gets switch statements, case statements, if/else statements, etc.
indented perfectly with no use of the tab key at all! I only have to type a unique part
of a class name and it auto-completes the class name. It creates function headers
automatically, always gets the indentation right, gives me a browser that finds
definitions quickly, handles many different languages including Perl, awk, HTML, XML,
etc., handles my change notifications in a single command (two keystrokes), does
fully-interactive paired-bracket matching, can be used without a mouse if I choose to (for
a 70wpm typist this is important), switches views and buffers quickly, has abbreviation
mechanisms that work very well indeed, the list goes on and on. I can edit many different
kinds of files interchangeably at the same time, keep well over a thousand files active at
the same time, compare two files incrementally with a single two-character command, run
command shells, EDIT THE OUTPUT WINDOWS, edit file lists, buffer lists, etc, take a block
of text and sort it (for example to alphabetize a list of value names), flow paragraphs in
comments, and that's just the superficial stuff! Most of that doesn't exist in VS at all,
and this is essentially out-of-the-box for a real product. The latest version can also
handle Unicode files. Check out Epsilon, www.lugaru.com, to see what a REAL editor looks
like. That's reality. All I want is the complete power of Epsilon in the VS editor. It
isn't there, and no amount of VS extension programming will give me what Epsilon gives me
with vastly less effort.
