Overview

Welcome to the Ultimate Toolbox Updates and Contributions page.

This page is intended to help collate and centralize user contributions as well as beta updates to the core source code for each of the Ultimate Toolbox, Ultimate Grid, and Ultimate TCP/IP libraries.

We'd like this page to become a central point for submissions of various enhancements and fixes to the Ultimate Toolbox. Those of you who have code that will help others can forward submissions to any of the co-authors of this page.

Those wishing to take a more active role can become co-authors, and help to collate and maintain the code base and user submissions.

What can I contribute?

Pretty much anything that enhances or fixes code in the Ultimate Toolbox. A simple zip of a class file can be posted here for review before inclusion into an update. All we ask is that changes are reasonably commented and documented.

Links to user submitted articles relating to the Ultimate Toolbox can be collated here as well.

We're keeping this fairly open to start - comments and suggestions, as always, most welcome.

Ultimate Grid - OutlookStyle Demo (corrections)
Download:	OutlookDemoUpdate.zip (65k)
Reported by:	ehaerim
Compiled by:	Tim Deveaux
Date:	August, 2008
Comments:	This is a update with corrections for the OutlookStyle demo contained in the samples download for the Ultimate Grid. The project uses files from the Ultimate Toolbox source, and shipped with incorrect paths to these files. The projects now assume the Ultimate Toolbox directory is at the same level as the Ultimate Grid, and uses the correct relative paths. The projects were previously referencing files not required for compilation, two of which are not included in the Ultimate Toolbox source download. The CCellTypeOutlook class is renamed to COutlookGrid. The CelltypeOutlook.cpp and .h files are replaced with OutlookGrid.cpp and .h. The demo shows the grid set up for Outlook style message selection, with read/unread and flag bitmaps etc, and highlights the use of the CUGExpandType, CUGCTOutlookHeader, CUGCTMail, and CUGCTMailSort celltypes.
Requirements:	Assumes the Ultimate Toolbox source and include files are installed along with Ultimate Grid.
Status:	Corrections to the existing demo.
