-Configuration Viewer 1.0
-========================
-
-This is something I quickly threw together to allow GUI editing of
-ACE_Configuration files. I thought it would be useful and serve as a
-better example of how to use ACE_Configuration. I developed this under
-Windows 2000, but it should easily port to any platform that wxWindows
-supports (see http://www.wxwindows.org.).
-
-==============
- Usage
-==============
-All functionality is delivered through the file menu and right mouse button
-context menus. The file menu lets you create the different types of
-ACE_Configurations such as a transient heap, persistent heap or Win32
-Registry heap. A new persistent heap may be created, or an older one
-may be opened. The win32 registry will require you to enter the path
-from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE that you want to open. For example: "Software/TAO"
-would set the Win32Registry's root to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/TAO.
-Note that this quick implementation loads the entire tree, so if you
-enter "Software" it may take a minute to load up - beware! Next you
-may import or export entries from a heap to an INI file using the
-Import/Export file commands.
-
-The right mouse button opens up a context menu in both the tree control
-and the list control.
-From the tree context menu, you can:
-1) Create new keys (these hold name/value pairs)
-2) Create new string values
-3) Create new integer values
-4) Delete a key (beware, everything beneath it will be removed as well)
-
-From the list control context menu, you can:
-1) Modify a the value of an entry
-2) Delete the entry
-3) Rename the entry
-
-Known Bugs/Issues:
-*) You cannot enter/edit binary types
-*) Adding a new string/integer value with the same name as an existing
- entry will overwrite the existing entry without warning. I think there
- is a memory leak that occurs as well.
-*) You can add entries to the root key, but they will not be imported
- or exported. I think this is by design and the GUI should prevent
- this. I need to investigate this further.
-*) The entire configuration file is loaded into the tree when it is opened.
- For large configurations, this may take a while. A good improvement
- would be to load items as the user expands them.
-*) At the time of this writing, there is a nasty bug in
- ACE_Configuration_Heap that has to do with changing the value
- of an existing entry. I have submitted a patch to fix this, but
- it may not go in until 5.1.3 (current version is 5.1.2). I strongly
- recommend that you get the patch/newer version!
-*) Renaming of Keys is not supported. This requires an enhancement to
- ACE_Configuration first.
-*) No makefiles for other platforms exist, can you donate one?
-*) This has only been tested for non MFC DLL builds of ACE, it
- should work fine in the other configurations, but I haven't tested it.

-=============================================
-
-This was developed using:
-*) wxWindows 2.1.15
-*) ACE 5.0.16 + My patch to fix a bug in ACE_Configuration_Heap
-*) Windows 2000
-*) MSVC 6.0 + SP3
-
-If you have any questions or comments, please send me an email. I really
-enjoy hearing about others that find this contribution useful!
