Hi,

It is not necessay a lack of documentation that could impede new users coming to U++ but where to find the information in tpp or forum.

Yes, it's what I said : there is already some good doc, but often not easy to find...

However U++ is definitively a great IDE more innovative and faster than wxWidgets

I never used wxWidgets and cannot compare, but yes, U++ is a great, nice to use and innovative IDE Smile

see dolik and some other U++ "gurus" efforts

Yes, thank to them, things are better and better. And they also help a lot on the forum, it's also very important for beginners Smile

But I think that, sometimes, they could make doc rather than explaining things in the forum several times. I know : it's a difficult choice, and often it seems faster to reply quickly in the forum than to make a doc. But it's often that you have to collect pieces of informations in several topics on the forum, and this is discouraging more especially for beginners !

Saying that, I I acknowledge my own responsibility too : even if I'm not an expert, when I gathered pieces of information about some badly or not documented class, I could take some time to make or enhance the doc Embarassed

I would say that PromptOK does not seem strange to me and comes rapidly familiar with time.

Sure ! The problem is not that it seems strange by itself, but compared to others IDE/languages ! Yes, as soon as you know, it becomes familiar, but how much time did you spent to discover it ? For me, I cannot say exactly, but it was a lot, and finally I made my own, and some time later, I discovered it by chance in the forum ! With a more standard name like MsgBox, I should have found it a lot faster !

At least, the list of common dialog boxes should be listed in this index Wink

(I'll try to do that ASAP, but have other docs to do that others cannot make easily).
