Re: [Dev-C++] about slider control

Hi,

  I agree with Per Westermark.  Dev-c++ is based on MinGW.  It is not easy
to put MFC into MinGW.

  By the way, VC++ Expression is not a free software if used on commercial
software.  It doesn't have resource editor/compiler, and even don't
support resource file as I known.

  Thanks for your replies.

Regards,
Jessica Chen
