Re: FruitBasket-MFC

FruitBasket-MFCHi Ken.  Would agree with you there.  The resource editor is not 
really accessible, although with window eyes, one could use the num pad to read 
some info on the screen.  I wish it were more accessible though.  Cheers!

  You ask for it you got it.  Here it is the one the only FruitBasket in MFC.  
The hardest part of writing this was using the resource editor.  It was like 
being back in Visual studio 6.  Why they didn't just make the current dialog 
editor work for the old resources I don't know.  I doubt they will fix this in 
2008 but we can all pray.  Jamal have you tried the MFC resource editor and do 
you think it could be made to be accessible like the forms editor?  

  Anyway even with the problems I was able to make the FruitBasket program in 
little to no time so here it is.  Note most of the guts of the program is in 
FruitBasketDlg.cpp and FruitBasketDlg.h  I am going to try to make a minimalist 
version of this but the trouble I had with a single source version of this was 
the command line options.  Microsoft has not made it easy to just compile an 
MFC application.  Further more a single cpp file would need all the controls 
done dynamically rather than in a resource file.  While that would get around 
the problems I had with the resource editor, I find fighting with the resource 
files easier than writing all the code to create the controls dynamically.  
This doesn't mean I won't make a minimalist version of the MFC FruitBasket it 
just means it is not done yet.  I will most likely make it when I re make the 
win32 version I lost.

  OK here is the link to the two archives of the MFC version.  I made two 
because some people on this list like .rar and some like .zip.  Inthane use 
which ever you want to on the page it is the same file.  The executable is 
under the release directory.
