The recovery I am under means during that time from 2008-2009 when I was in sin, there was damage done to my life. It has persisted since that time. It would be like having an old football injury that never really goes away, but is always there popping back up from time to time. Sin has consequences. They do not magically go away. But those scars also keep you focused. I actually have a literal scar on my left palm where I was injured at a welding job during that time. I look at that scar from time to time and remember where I was when I got it. It honestly does help keep me on the strait-and-narrow because I never, ever, ever, want to go through anything like that again. But I can understand your position regarding me. It's hard to look at someone who has overt sin in their life and believe anything they have to say ... even if that sin was from many years ago. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

Oh for goodness sake: I am going to have to break my rule again. I have made no judgement on this aspect of your life at all, nor would I ever do so. It seems highly probable that you have been forgiven. Receiving absolution ought to rest your mind. You, however, have not forgiven yourself. I think in consequence you are a much disturbed person. Those who are ill amongst us are not large in number proportionally, but unfortunately they can have an adverse impact on others which is disproportionate to that number. |

I am not ill. People would look at me in my faith and say I am ill in that regard, but as for mental illness and what not no. It is only that I truly do care about people. To put my psyche into perspective, the two best TV shows I've ever seen: The Encounter 2016 (available on PureFlix) When Calls The Heart (except parts of season 2; available on Hallmark channel, Netflix, Amazon Video, and others). Both of those series have me crying throughout the episodes. They are moving in how they portray love for God, and love for one another. It is those things which move me, and it is for those reasons I move. -- Thank you! | Indianapolis, Indiana | God is love -- 1 John 4:7-9 Rick C.

I ask for prayers for this community each week at Bible Study. I have specific names at times (lately Peter Cheung, Mr. Man-wai Chang, and a few others). Other times I ask more generally for those people I know and do outreach to online. If you examine my online activity in these regards, you'll find that they are rolled out on a cadence. They come from me doing an at-my- church Bible Study, or watching a Christian teacher online, or hearing a church sermon or teaching message, and I am inspired by those things and post about them. Most all of my other Christian-related posts relate back to correcting other posters who post something contrary to what the Bible teaches. The entirety of my online outreach is a teaching ministry. I teach people the things of Christ they will not hear in the world, and also won't even hear in many lukewarm churches. If you want to compare my teachings to the teachings given by the "great men of God" over the years, visit http://www.sermonindex.net and listen to some of those pastors from decades gone by. You'll find that my teachings are not out of line. They are in line with what has historically been the core of Biblical Christianity, but that society has changed and the new watered down message of all- inclusiveness (even of gay lifestyles, abortion, divorce, etc.), as regular practical norms, are what has moved away from historical roots. Also, compare the text of the King James Bible to that of the more modern translations. Gail Riplinger did some research on this at a time when she was unexpectedly infirmed, and it carried forward: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyx3IDzFglI What we see in the last 50 years is not what Christianity has been previously. The enemy has entered into the church and our lives, and has tried to dictate what aspects of the Bible are valid. True born again Christians are taking it back. -- Rick C. Hodgin |

If your pastor was aware of this background, could you tell us what he said to you about it? I told him that where I go in my life I teach people, be I at a gas station, at the store, post office, at work, even online. There are many people in my church who think I'm crazy. They do not see value in the things I do, including non-online-teaching things, but even the things I do in my life. I had one member get very upset at me, and rebuke me in front of the whole church in the sanctuary, for telling her privately that she shouldn't be posting profanity on Facebook. She said I had no right to judge her in that way. Other people come up to me and tell me I'm inspirational to their walk, and they're so glad I am in the church. It all comes down to the person's walk with Jesus. Either they are sold out to Him in their lives, or they are still holding on to their flesh. -- Thank you! | Indianapolis, Indiana | God is love -- 1 John 4:7-9 Rick C.

I believe that some of the things that you do are incompatible with the Christian traditions of "do unto others ...", "give unto Ceasar ..." etc., and I think that some of the feedback you are receiving reflects that. I personally think you should listen to it, particularly if it comes from your pastor. |

I look for my feedback from spirit-filled Biblical sources, not the mainstream churchianity. As I stated, Daniel, visit http://www.sermonindex.net and listen to some of the sermons there. You'll find my teachings are wholly in line with those towering giants of years gone by. In fact, a lot of my teaching comes from listening to their sermons. I appreciate your feedback, Daniel, but you do not have goals which are to pursue God in spirit and in truth. You are looking for majority rule. That has no part of a true Christian's life. A true Christian will stand up for Christ at all points. That is what I do, to the best of my ability. -- Thank you! | Indianapolis, Indiana | God is love -- 1 John 4:7-9 Rick C.

And you do not have goals to pursue modern scholarship, at least biblical. I still think you should take seriously feedback from your pastor and fellowship group. Funny things can happen in our heads when we come to believe that only we know the truth. |

I do not use QT, but I think it was successful. The same for MFC. Thiago, ask yourself why nobody uses MFC today except for legacy even though Microsoft still update it.

Your underestimate how big a task writing such code conversion tools would be. I would be spending most of my time updating the conversion tools whenever Qt or wxWidgets changed than I would be spending time on improving neoGFX itself. I am happy with the state of affairs being such that migrating to neoGFX will require writing a GUI from scratch or converting an existing one by hand. What I might do however (if I can find the time) is add an import tool to my GUI editor that imports Qt .ui files and generates GUI code that way. /Flibble -- "Suppose it's all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are confronted by God," Bryne asked on his show The Meaning of Life.

I use Win32 + D2D API with some wrappers I did for desktop apps.

I think if you targeted a percentage of automatic conversion, and then had them fixup some parts manually it owuld be better than a whole, new, manual effort. And if you gain traction, I think a full conversion utility would be just what's needed to draw business your way. If you get to that point and are interested, look me up and I will write it for you. > hand. > What I might do however (if I can find the time) is add an import tool > to my GUI editor that imports Qt .ui files and generates GUI code that way. That would be even better. I didn't know how Qt worked. The last time I used it was in late mid/late 2000s when we were evaluating what GUI to go with. I would encourage you with neoGFX. You've put in a lot of hard work and it will improve our applications. The screenshots I've seen at various points have made me say, "Oooh. Awwe."

You really are a beginner. It is standard practice to separate code into non-GUI ("model") and GUI ("view") parts and should be done totally independently of any choice of GUI library. I suggest you read up on the MVC pattern. /Flibble -- "Suppose it's all true, and you walk up to the pearly gates, and are confronted by God," Bryne asked on his show The Meaning of Life.
