The things you forget when you don't have your gun.

Daily 11/05/03

Spent today working on the Campaign Editor. I tried to do a multi-column listbox at first, but Ian turned me on to using a CListCtrl. Shows you how much MFC I've done in the last couple of years. I'm amazed at how much skill you lose when you don't use it. It's not like riding a bike. If you forget some MFC flags or tricks, they're gone forever. I'm lucky to have a Windows Internals guru just down the hall :)

So, here's the first shot of the campaign editor. Like the scenario editor, it's made of tabs.

Just some standard campaign text here.

Here are the missions. If you click the button, a file dialog will come up so that you can just select the missions instead of typing them in. Same for the maps. Isn't that nice?

I like the CListCtrl so much that I might revamp the technology window in the Scenario Editor to use it. It'd have the technology names on one side and either "Available", "Starting" or "Unavailable". You can select the different states using a combo box. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow.

That's it for today. Gotta go home and do some gaming. If you see "Mudflap" or "SD_Mudflap" on a CallOfDuty or Halo server, it's probably me. Say hi.
