Looks real good. Helps me to understand U++ a bit more. I will read the libraries as soon as I download them but this tutorial really gives a good overview of how to start using it. Congratulations.

So as not to waste a whole new topic on this ...

there's a minor doc error for ArrayCtrl IsCursor - should have >= 0

bool IsCursor() const
Checks whether the cursor is within the table. This is equivalent to GetCursor() > 0.
Return value

and ... to be on topic ... this tutorial is very useful and well written. How long would it take to figure out some of this detail without the tutorial - too long ...

Hello,

I do not know if the season of the tutorial is finished. Anyway I would like to suggest one more topic: how to open a non modal dialog.
In another toolkit I simply set some flag during its definition and this is enough to create a non modal dialog that permit me to switch between the opened windows. I'm sure it is easy too in U++ ... but how to do it remain a mistery for me Confused

Well, tutorial is not closed - I will be adding topics...

To a degree nonmodal dialogs are in section 6, but I agree this needs better explanation and example.
