CRT's have a lot to answer for!

You're sure to find some special people there.
Or, if the MS design and marketing groups are there, "special needs".

So the Norwegian custom office[^] stopped 4 polish people on the border between Sweden and Norway with the following:
488 liter of beer
10 200 dollars of counterfeit money
Naturally all got a fine for smuggling of beer. But the last guy was held in custody for counterfeiting money. However they found the money so badly done, that they classified it as toy money.
So I guess he got a ... ehm... dent in his criminal record

They misread the plan, originally it was:
1) print fake money
2) buy a lot of beer
3) get drunk!
they just forgot the first phase until they finished the 3rd, then they tried to recover at the last moment!

Their customers are divided into six types?
Lemme guess:
"Rolling"
"Table-sheltering"
"Lamppost serenading"
"Park bench overnighter"
"Where is this train going?"
And, of course (horror of horrors!), "Designated driver".

My plans for tomorrow include poking around with the codebase for an old MFC app that I'll be doing some updates to later. It's been over a decade since I last toyed with MFC though; and I never used it heavily then. As a result I'm not really sure what the workflow/execution path for MFC dialogs is, or how all of the "magic" works anymore. A good refresher tutorial would be helpful if anyone knows of one.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not sure if it's just my messed up work connection, but what I'm seeing appears to be missing either images or code snippet blocks. ex
Quote: General dialog box workflow
Defines a dialog class, you can use the dialog class to declare a dialog object, that is, a dialog box is displayed on the screen.
Really looks like it should have a code sample between the two paragraphs.

Works for me, Dan. See this[^] screenshot.

That's more or less what I saw, other than not scrolling down to the bottom to see the code listing. The way the chunk of text (and a few others below it) read, I was expecting to see code snippets interspersed between them.

that looks like it could be simplified to
Steal Rodgers Whisky -> Hide -> Get Drunk. 
Which pleasurable as it may be, (until Rodger found me anyway) isn't really going to do much to help me out.

No, sorry it won't... 
I guess MFC isn't that bad - but for me it's tightly tied into my BIG ball of mud, so this picture was my first association

Crazy declarative syntax that wires up low level Window's messages to C++ class functions that it binds to. Can't remember how, though I even wrote one of those things 30 years ago when I discovered that Borland had a cool way of doing it but Microsoft hadn't caught on yet.
