Visual Studio 2002 problem

[27]

Hey,
I'm running visual C++ 7 from my Visual Studio.net Academic Edition 2002.


According to this site, there is a fix to a problem I have on Version 10.
http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/...lstudio_1.html

Quote:

Yet another fix applies to building console-based applications that use a command-line interface. “When you build a command-line application and compile and run that application from Visual Studio, sometimes the output window closes too quickly to see the results of your program” during debug mode, Keller said. “Now when you run a command-line app from within Visual Studio, the user will receive a ‘Press any key to continue’ prompt.”

My output window closes too quickly on version 7.
Is there some way that I can rectify this?

I think it is something like:

system("pause");

Thanks.
I'm something of a novice at C++. Can you tell me how I'd insert that into the listing below?

Quote:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void writename(); //prototypes (function declarations)
void writetitle();

int main()
{
writetitle(); //function calls
writename();
return 0;
}

void writename() //function definition
{
string name = "Mike McGrath";
cout << name << endl;
}

void writetitle() //function definition
{
string title = "C++ Programming in easy steps";
cout << title << " by ";
}

Just put it before the return 0; line in main()

Now, is there a way to permanently build it into Visual Studio 2002 automatically, something in the settings perhaps?

Sorry, but I never experienced your problem before. Version 2002 has always automatically paused in debug mode for me. Just make sure next to the run button it says debug and not release. I have no idea why it is not working for you.

Thanks for blessing me and my children!
