Hi, Mark!
I've got a new tutorial in the wings that deals with these things. It's an
MDI/wxImage/wxBitmap application. What's holding it up is getting the tutorial
documentation itself written. I'm right in the middle of switching systems and,
unfortunately, I ran into some hardware problems with the new one and I have to
ship it back for replacements and a new burn in.
I'm going to try to hobble through on my old system and see if I cannot get the
tutorial completed. The code itself is all done, and so is the user manual,
there's just no step by step for how it is built using DB (the actual tutorial).
Keep an eye out, it should be showing up soon (good Lord willing and the creek
don't rise! However, there's been a lot of creek rising (literally) in my neck
of the woods these past few days!;)
thx,
Dave S.
