Agent Control in C++

[prog_tom]

Just to fill my curiousity,

I was wondering how to load an *.acs in VC++.

[noble]

I dont know exactly where i found this but it's a perfect
example of how to load the microsoft agent and have it
perform all of it's movements and sayings.

There is also an editor available for you to create your own
agents......

All i know is that the creator of this code was Santosh Rao at [email protected]

All credit goes to him.

[noble]

one more thing....there is an HTML file
in the HTML directory that tells you what you need to use the
microsoft agent in your program....core components and
what not.


good luck, let me know how it works

Thanks,

However,

I prefer API But your support is greatly appreciated, I'm looking forward to obsorb something from it and assist you back with your help.

At this point, I cannot even get this running

It says some *.pch is missing or some crap.

MFC is kind of annoying, don't you think?

[noble]

not really, what i like about MFC is that it takes care of a lot
of the little things for you.....there may be increased overhead
in terms of runtimes but to me it's a small price to pay to have
easy access to object oriented classes which take care of a lot
of junk for you.

the best thing to do with MFC is to work WITH it, not against it
and you should have no problems.

Is it possible to write Agent controls in WinAPI? Why do most people use MFC?

[noble]

if it's possible in MFC then it's possible to use simply the API

some ppl use MFC because most of the classes are wrappers
around the API functions.
