Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: documentation Group: Next Release (example) Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: lgavitt (lgavitt) Assigned to: Bob Arnson (barnson) Summary: More example projects Initial Comment: I'd like to see alot more example projects that, side by side, show the differences between the default configurations and what you have to change or add to get the desired results. To be even more useful, they should be presented in a fashion that is fairly generic and with the assumption that the viewer has minimal to no knowledge. By generic, I mean not a large project that shows several pieces in one. For example, the microsoft MFC example projects show how to accomplish things, but so often they so many things in that one project that it becomes difficult to pull out the portion that you need. In CTreeview, maybe I want to programatically assign the text display, but a newbie could easily get lost in the examples that modify the text, the icon, tool tip, it's parent, all based on a pidl, the phase of the moon and what angle your monitor is at. The advanced level of the pidls is far from what a newbie needs to be trying to absorb when simply putting 'tree 1', 'sub item 1', sub item 2 of 4' would do the trick. I've tought many about hardware and software development over the past 20 years. Sometimes I catch myself making the mistake of speaking from my level of knowledge well above theirs. Simply forgetting that they don't know. Now that I'm talking above them, they won't know until I bring it back down. With that, I'd like to submit the following example project that shows how to implement multiple browse buttons into a single dialog and allows for the creation of multiple directories selected by the user. I've found others trying to achieve the same thing and finding it difficult and so did I until I found the right combination. Now its not so difficult and seems intuitive, but I remember the struggle I had trying to find the answers.
