Hello Tiko
I downloaded Tiko and built a project with no issues. Found it quite straightforward to use.
Congratulations!

Thanks Richard, appreciate it! I need to start working on the next update. Trying to motivate myself ;D
After 50 years as a software engineer it took me around 3-4 years to get motivated after retirement. Perhaps you will take less time.
::)
FYI, I ported a winfbe project to tiko and AFX Nova. I was a bit rusty and it took me 3 days to get it done. The resultant EXE was 40% smaller.

Yup, I tend to go in waves since I retired. Lots going on in real life these days so programming has taken a little back seat. I expect within the next few weeks that everything will return to regular daily life and I'll return to my programming passions.

That's awesome! AfxNova is amazing. I built Tiko using a fair amount from the AfxNova library. DWSTRING dynamic unicode string by itself is worth its weight in gold. Just about anything you need for Windows application programming can be found within the library. José has done an amazing job designing and implementing the library.
