    I absolutely hate when they make cute little rotary knobs where you attempt to change a value and it just jumps all over the place because it requires precision control of a mouse, in a circular motion. Yeah, like that will ever happen. And ones with numeric labels are just a tease because they're labels and you can't do direct-entry to bypass the mouse dance. I don't do that. My* fancy controls can also be keyboard controlled with the arrows or paging buttons. *I didn't create them, but I modified the code to allow this, because [see above].

            About 15 years ago, and the QA idiots are less incompetent than the :sunshine:s guilty of acrobat/reader. I'd recently started a new job and moved into my own home. I'd been invited to a beta for a new version of a game I'd been playing heavily for years. The developer send the NDA as a PDF form which would've been great since I didn't have a printer; except that it was only possible to 'sign' and save the form if you had the full version of Acrobat, not the free reader. I ended up screenshotting it to MS paint, filling in all the normal text using the text tool, freehanded my signature (I was really tempted to use the cursive font to see if they said anything), and then saved it off as several .bmp files (for spite) which I emailed off. Surprisingly for an organization that created such an asinine process they were quite happy with the result.                                                                                             X| X| X| X| X|                         X| X| X| X| X| X|                             X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|               X| X|                             X| X|                X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X|           X|                                                X|    &nbs

              I have often thought there is good money to be made in teaching people how to scan their sig into their system for just such an emergency and also, in just cleaning up pdf forms for companies. But alas. I don't want to deal with such people.

                  Now that you've seen the light (again), do you plan to dust off and buff up the C++ version? I still use MFC (for the time being) so I would be interested in it.

                        The only time I do gui stuff in C++ is if I'm making FL Studio projects. I do however, have this very control in an MFC version somewhere on my onedrive, because i originally made it in C++ :)

                          I never completed Mr Mike's course on How to Write Good. And then, suddenly, I was run over by a truck.
