MZCrumbBar v1.5

I notice that I had not published the updates for my MZCrumbBar MFC Controller. So It was time to push out a new update. (Yes, MFC is actually still alive.)

This is a C++ MFC controller for Windows desktop development. It will allow you to present a clickable crumbbar. It does not have to be path it can also any string that is separated by a separator.

Changes

There are 2 minor updates since v1.3.

The first change is an addition from Added by Iain Clarke that is good if you do some custom drawing.
The second change is a fix from me, It fixes a crash that happen in a rare situation. The inplace controller destroys and delete is self when losing focus.And in rare situations can you receive WM_KILLFOCUS before OnCreate on completed.

This controller won "Best C++/MFC article of March 2010" on CodeProject.com

Building Multi Commander with VS2012

Since the C++ compiler in VS2012 do support a lot more of the new C++11 standard, this is a compiler that I want to move over to. So I spent some time upgrading the Multi Commander project so that it can be built with the new C++ compiler.
( C++ news in VS2012 )

The upgrade was almost flawless. Their was only some minor issue to get my VS2010 projects to be built with VS2012. Like I had to upgrade WTL to version 8.1 (I had not upgraded this in a while so it was about time anyway) and also some other minor issue.

Multi Commander builds pretty clean, no warnings with the exception of some 3de party code. (zlib/bzip2)
With VS2012 I do however get a couple of more warnings, most of them are
 "warning C4702: unreachable code" VS2012 is a lot better at finding unreachable code.

Build Time

The build time is a little longer with VS2012, But that was expected since VS2012 support so much more and optimize code a lot better then VS2010 (Like the auto vectorizer), Not that I think it will be noticeable in Multi Commander since it is not very CPU consuming anyway.

Multi Commander v2.7

Multi Commander 2.7 is finally out.

This version has over 180+ changes since last version (2.5.1)
