My short-run solution is to take a simple text-editor source code, rip it apart, insert my own stuff, and sew the whole Frankenstein mess up into a monstrosity that can both save and open files while doing my stuff. I can then dissect the beast at my leisure to learn which bits make make what things go. The only tutorial I could find assumed Microsoft Visual C++ (professional) was being used: when I try running it in Dev C++ I get errors that afxwin.h, afxext.h, afxdisp.h, afxdtctl.h, and afxcmn.h could not be found. I'd rather not simply abandon the project and pick a new, simpler one so: Is there anyway to work around the afx___.h files? Has anyone seen a make-a-text-editor tutorial for C++ that does not use afx files? This post has been edited by Sublight: 7 Aug, 2008 - 07:43 AM

Has anyone seen a make-a-text-editor tutorial for C++ that does not use afx files? Depends on if the classes are using CObject etc... These files are generally all part of the ATL/MFC frameworks suppllied with the compiler. You could try downloading the Microsoft SDK. Or for a hack download and install the VS eval version and suck out the headers from the atlmfc directory etc... The SDK is a better bet though.. If the classes don't use MFC/ATL etc... then just delete the include "afx.h"... JW
