Beta Release: LocaleExlplorer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Things have been hectic around here the last few months. But in the interstices, I put
some effort into my new "Locale Explorer". It is not yet done; there are some problems
with it, but I wanted to get it out for comment and feedback. It is still a "work in
progress" in many ways.

It currently builds and works only as a Unicode build under VS6. I tried VS.NET and the
index doesn't work right, and I'm about to leave for a week so I will work on this later.
It also builds only in Unicode mode, and therefore requires you install the VS6 Unicode
runtime libraries for MFC. Perhaps in a few weeks I'll figure out why the VS.NET version
doesn't work. I gave up months ago trying to maintain an 8-bit-only version. It was just
too hard to deal with all the places Unicode was required.

The goal here is to give you the necessary code templates for doing localized
applications.

In addition to all this, it is a "showcase" piece for interesting MFC classes. I brought
a lot of my techniques which are independently documented into this application, and
created a lot more. Check it out. Template-driven macro generation, all kinds of dialog
box tricks. Lots of other tricks, documented in the Web pages.

The download is about 1.3MB and includes all the help-file documentation and complete
source. The Web pages (many) are the remaining documentation.
