Suggestion for GUI Tutorial
In this tutorial, for the screenshot for an object Properties dialog, it states:
"Right click on a control to open the control properties dialog.
Use this dialog to change the properties of the control, such as its handle, event handler, and caption."
Problem, there is no explanation of what handle or event handler mean, and these terms do not show in the screenshot.
In the dialog does have:
This is what is generally called a "disconnect" in documentation. That is, terms use in text, when the actual item being documented does not use the terms. In this case, the screenshot not having handle or event handler.
This needs to be corrected so anyone reading the tutorial can know what the terms in the text mean.
This begs a question, what are the definitions for "Branch" & "*.ext" shown in the dialog?
