In early January, we delivered a Beta of the Visual C++ 2008 Feature pack. I am pleased to announce that the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack has shipped!
The Feature Pack provides several exciting features for C++ developers, such as a major update to MFC and an implementation of TR1. Using the included MFC components, developers can create applications with the “look & feel” of Microsoft’s most popular products – Microsoft Office, Visual Studio and Internet Explorer. New components include the Office 2007 Ribbon Bar, Visual Studio docking and auto hide windows, Vista theme support, “on the fly” menu and toolbar customization, Shell management classes and much more. Our implementation of TR1 contains a number of important features such as smart pointers, regular expression parsing, containers (tuple, array, unordered set, etc) and sophisticated random number generators.
This product is a freely available download to any Visual Studio 2008 Standard or above customer and is fully covered under Microsoft’s standard support policies.
You may also want to take a look at the online documentation and walkthroughs for both MFC and TR1. The MFC documentation provides some great content to get you up and running quickly with the new components.
Namaste!
Thanks for this. Good to see C++ getting its fair share of support from MS. Will be nice if MS could release nice rich wrapper libs (hiding some COM specifics) to make development easier and more productive on C++ on Windows platforms. COM is what makes developers wary of jumping from Unix world onto the Windows native development bandwagon. Just my 1c...
thank you for great news, C++ is longly used for many custmors around my job.
Anyway, hyperlinks on MFC and TR1 are broken,
I guess some server error happend on their site.
Great, all I need now is for them to update XNA so it works with 2008 and I'll be laughing :)
Sawai-san,
I am not sure which hyperlinks you are referring to. I just tried again the MFC and TR1 links from the post and it seemed to work well.

By doing this you've chosen one third-party MFC control vendor who will survive, and put the rest out of business. I hope you're happy.
Has anyone else noticed that these are mostly features that have been available in the .NET framework for a while now? It seems to me that Micro$oft is making the transitional push away from unmanaged code by making it second fiddle to managed code. I'm not trying to bash C++, I'm just saying that this will be a reality far sooner than alot of people want to admit.
Fantastic work with the unmanaged Office 2007 ribbon component. I'm looking forward to the .NET version.
Now that there's an unmanaged 2007 ribbon component, how long until someone wraps that for .Net and we'll have a native .net ribbon instead of all these 3rd party look alikes?
Hi Mesan,
The team is working on a .NET ribbon control and we hope to have something around the end of this calendar year.

Hi I wanted to report a bug: the regex class does not work with WCHAR and ECMA/icase (ECMA with for case insensitive).
std::tr1::wregex rx(L"^([a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\\-/=?^_`{|}~]|(?!^)\\.(?!\\.|$)){1,64}$|^\"([\\x01-\\x08\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x1f\\x20\\x21\\x23-\\x5b\\x5d-\\x7f]|\\\\\\\\[\\x01-\\x09\\x0b\\x0c\\x0e-\\x7f]){1,64}\"$", (std::tr1::regex::flag_type)(std::tr1::regex_constants::ECMAScript | std::tr1::regex_constants::icase));
if (!std::tr1::regex_match((LPCWSTR)EMailAddressStringW.Left(iPos), rx)) return eInvalidChars;

Hi,
Does Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack includes Unit Testing plugin for VC++ projects as well? How to create a Automated Unit Test Cases for VC++ methods?
Awaiting your response at the earliest.
Thanks and Regards

Hello Krishnamurthy,
The Feature Pack does not include any updates to unit testing. I would recommend taking a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243171.aspx & http://www.codeguru.com/columns/kate/article.php/c11893/ for VC++ unit testing. Also, you might find http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vststest/thread/cc3b7b31-e364-43c2-b40e-6b9013595a42/ useful.

Dear Ayman,
Thanks a lot for the links.
How do I create Unit Tests for Unmanaged Code?
How do I create a Unit Test case for MFC and Static Library Code?
I have created a Unit Test case for Class Library code by changing the /clr to /clr:safe.
Kindly let me know the best practice to create a Unit Test case for MFC and Static Library Projects.
Thanks
