How about I tell you about my idea and you tell me if its worhwhile
here its
"Making a Modless Dialog a Main Window"

Hi,
I haven't done any MFC myself the last ten years, so I can't really comment. I suggest you expand that title to a first paragraph, you know the one that people read to decide whether to read on or not; and then wait for a few people here to react.

So what is different from any other main window? What time-saving or other technical extra does this offer the developer?
It's time for a new signature.

Please keep in mind I only moonlight at this or this-> (joke)
My daytime job is as a Assembler programmer on a Mainframe
So ... to answer your question um....
well when there is a parent child relationship in reagards to Windows
Windows the OS generates a lot of WM_PAINT type messages when the child window/control is moved around
trying not to bump into the MainWindow
I guess the genration of these messages would go away

1. Guessing is rarely enough; I would suggest some more research into exactly what does happen.
2. You still have not explained why your 'solution' would be useful to a developer.
3. If you still feel the article is worthwhile then go ahead and post it; and see what feedback you get from the community.

Hi everybody,
I've created a WPF application that contains a music by Enrique Iglesias. I don't know what the music license is.
Can I post the App on CodeProject ?
Thanks.

Personally, I feel the world needs far, far more Enrique Iglesias. Unfortunately the RIA and other copyright holders shun the public use and distribution of their contracted artists' music without the suitable fees being paid.

It didn't work for Tom Jones, why would it work for Enrique?

The article has yet the composing status, I am not sure how long does it take from composing to final or published status.
And there is this one more thing, the article is only visible through my profile, when I am not logged on I can't find the article.

Sounds like you checked the button "This is a work in progress". Uncheck the button and it will move to "Pending", meaning it will be up for moderation and approval.

I am afraid I can't find any button of that sort. Where exactly do I have to look for it. I am in the 'Edit Article' page...

Did you receive feedback on the articles? Did you understand and act upon that feedback? The usual reason articles get deleted is because they are poorly constructed or simply do not contain enough to qualify as articles. If the issue is your ability to write English then ask for help. First and foremost, though, did you read and understand the article writing guidelines? Did you read some of the successful articles to see what it is that is expected of you? Far too many people attempt to publish sub-standard articles without having done any of the above and are, inexplicably, shocked when they don't get published.

Some people will really like the articles you public; others won't. That's why articles can be rated.
My problem is with people who rate an article down, and offer no explantion as to why. Did you get a 1 because there are obvious bugs (to everyone else) in your code? Are you fluffing up something that is irrelevant or already general knowledge? Is your example confusing? Does your explanation wander more than a drunken housefly? Did someone click to your article looking for porn and get annoyed when there wasn't any?
Just rating an article isn't very helpful. If there was some way to connect the act of rating with a comment -- maybe even move the rating into the comments section -- authors could get more feedback that will help them improve with latter articles, or at least direct an author on where the article needs to be rewritten. Thoughts?

For a long time already, voting 1 or 2 on an article requires a message (which could be almost empty and not tell you anything).
FYI: the "suggestions & bugs" forum would be the right place to discuss this.

Many people now hide behind a vote of 3 since it the lowest vote you can give without a comment. If you feel that a one vote is malicious or undeserved or the comment is plainly dumb then ask for it to be removed.
I published an article which got mostly 5's. Then it got a 4. Fine: why did you vote it down? Then 2 3s without an explanation. WTF? How does that work? If the majority of my peers like it at least be good enough to elucidate the problem, should there really be one.
In reality you just have to grin and bear it: there will always be people that down vote anything just because they can: not worth losing sleep over. It is just an article.

Hi:
I’m new in Code Project and I’m writing an article to submit. I developed some framework with several modules and I am able to submit the source code of all the modules but one. So, can I submit my framework having one module with its executable file and no source code?
Thanks in advance,
migue

I don't think source code is required exactly, but it is expected. It allows the author (you, in this case) to focus on two or three highlights rather than write a complete project in the article itself. I have also found it useful to have a ready-to-go project that I can tinker with and print out when I'm working with someone else's stuff: I have found useful bits in the source that had nothing at all to do with the article itself.
Also, I personally download only the source, never the compiled executables. This is a basic security measure. An article that provides an executable and no source strikes me as risky (not that members of Code Project would ever do anything shady, of course.)
My recommendation would be to wait until you have a complete project with all of your modules. You might be able to split your article into two or three pieces, each with its own project; that way, you can publish Part 1 now, and wait a few weeks with Part 2 until you get that code finished and working.

Hi All,
Recently I find myself presented with a box asking me to moderate articles with a "Make Article Publicly Visibe" button. Is this a new thing for everyone or have I been made a moderator / Editor???
Cheers,

You've now achieved a high enough status to moderate articles. It's a thankless task.
