#### Software Engineering Credits

#### Open Source Credits

In the age of Open Source development, it more sensible than ever to reuse someone else's wheel rather than re-inventing your own wheel. Many software engineers contribute their work freely to the public domain for inclusion in commerical products such as this one, on condition that it is only distributed in binary form (no distribution of source code). Another condition they usually impose is to get some recognition or "credit" for their contribution.

Two web sites that play a big part in promoting this sort of code sharing among the C++/MFC community are:

http://www.codeproject.com/

Credits for various libraries and components used to create this product are given in no particular order:

#### CxImage

http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/cximage.asp

CxImage is a very commonly used bitmap graphics and palette library. I have quoted Davide Pizzolato below for a more complete list of credits. He is the main force behind CxImage.

#### History and Acknowledgements

Starting form my CxDib class, that implements memory DIBs only, I tried to add some members to read images from files. Looking for a solution, I found a nice MFC class named CImage on the net, release 1.4 (1998). CImage supports BMP, GIF, PNG and JPG, but suffers many little bugs and uses a complex class structure, so I decided to strip it to the base and merge CxDib with the CImage philosophy, to obtain the new CxImage class. Also I updated the libraries for JPG, PNG and ZLIB.

With CxImage is very easy to add new image types, so I added the TIFF library (rev. 6) and a minimal support for ICONs, MNG, TGA and PCX. Finally I added some specific functions to obtain an image from global HANDLEs (windows clipboard) and objects (windows resources).

With the release 5, CxImage has now a good support for memory files, new methods and file formats, and it is more portable: it works also with WinCE and Linux.

" YALC" (Yet Another Grid Control) by Allan Nielsen

#### Acknowledgements

Craig Schmidt - "the beachboy" ;-) Craig did the basic implementation of the Multiple Root issue
Added SortEx, the previous Sort function did not sort RootItems. My thanks goes to Thomas Brammer for pointing this out to me. also he is the guy who added one pixel extra to the MakeShortString ;) this should finally take care of the "header resizing problem".
Added Arne Schild´s improvements, see his improvements in the comment section on the website.

#### CFileEditCtrl

#### Acknowledgements

Michael Dunn for his article "Introduction to COM - What It Is and How to Use It" for showing me how to handle shortcut (*.lnk and *.pif) files.
Me for my articles "CPJAImage - Yet another image drawing class" and "Multiple Selection in a File Dialog"

#### CHyperLink

http://www.codeproject.com/miscctrl/hyperlink.asp

CHyperLink is Chris Maunder's hyperlink control that can be plugged into any MFC dialog.

#### Acknowledgements

Thanks to Pål K. Tønder for auto-size and window caption changes.
" GotoURL" function by Stuart Patterson as seen in the August, 1997 Windows Developer's Journal, but modified by Chris Maunder to use TCHARs instead of chars.
" Default hand cursor" from Paul DiLascia's Jan 1998 MSJ article.
P. Shaffer for the standard font mod.

#### FreeType 2.1.4 Library

http://www.freetype.org

FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images).

#### Standard Type Services Framework

http://stsf.sourceforge.net/about.html

Standard Type Services Framework (STSF) is a portable open-source software framework for rendering typographically sophisticated text. STSF is font technology neutral. It supports all features of TrueType, Type1, TrueType GX and OpenType and provides a consistent name space to applications.

STSF was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and made available for the open source community under the BSD license.
