uno, I don't get all this. I, going back 10 years, never used the 'MFC'
way. I posted many years ago, 'WalkRadioButtons'. A DDX method if you
will, but with my constraints, attach to an enum if you want. There is
no black and white about DDX, You can write your own, once, as part of a
lib, and use it forever. Yes Joe, if you are writing for the brain dead,
I understand your thinking. Thankfully, some of us could care less for
those types. I really don't. When I die I really hope someone that isn't
brain dead takes up the slack. If not, I'm still dead!

The DDX works really cool if you let it. Like I use it, like it was
intended, with a database/form interface. Throw and show a balloon where
you need to fix and the client doesn't have to do anything but edit as
the balloon suggests.

I'll do 'SubDataExchange' if there are multiple dataset incidences,
there are no 'global' rules about 'DoDataExchange'. Consider a dialog
with 'Apply' and the caller shows the change in the background.

I think DDX works well if you think beyond how it can be poorly used. I
think it is a clever mechanism that would have settled pretty much where
it is now for those that bother to think.

You can't cure stupid. But you can cure ignorant. That is why I keep
trying to learn new tricks!

Best, Dan.

I've been to the MS site, I doubt I will read there. Miss you guys
unless there is a listserver started. I could start one, but I don't
know if it would be the same...
