Look at those options!

Posted on March 19th, 2004 by Jeff

I’ve just about completed my first ATL dialog box. I don’t think I’ve written a call to ::SendMessage in, oh, 8 years or so… I’ve been using MFC almost exclusively for GUI code. Anyway, I’ve managed to navigate the labrynthine documention and finally have a custom options page for VisEmacsDotNet (VisEmacs.NET ? too cliché?).

There’s still one little niggling problem though. Calls to CAtlString::LoadString() are failing — probably because the strings are in my satellite dll and I’ve missed some call I’m supposed to make… I’m sure I’ll get that wrapped up shortly though.

For the screenshot-addicted, here’s what the General Options page looks like, fully integrated into the DevStudio Options dialog:

    Stretchy Designs
    If you’re afraid of using em-based layouts, or just haven’t got around to using them in your designs, head on over to Jon Tan’s blog and read his great article, The Incredible Em & Elastic Layouts with CSS . He does a great job of demonstrating how easy it is to create an elastic layout in terms even engineers can understand. (1)

    What's a Snow Flake?
    There are times when I want to make  a quick point without having to write an essay on the topic. Apparently there’s a whole meme of a blog within a blog, aka a sideblog or “asides”. I found a nice plugin that lets me do the same thing. I needed a name for this feature and since it’s just a little piece of Snowmoon Software, that “Snow Flake” would be a good name. Like it? Hate it? Leave a comment! (0)
