... And when will I come back?

Right now, I'm in the midst of working on a specific Pollock sub-project: Flicker Free.

That project is a long and arduous one, with many steps. I'm just this week finishing the first of five major sub-tasks.

Be that as it may, here are my intentions about getting back to Blogging. Once I finish this first sub-task (properly clipping all display invalidation to reduce redraw and execution of non required display code), I'll be restarting my How To... series.

Once I re-start, I hope to post a new How To... item roughly every week. I have other topics to cover beside that. For instance, I want to show how to create you own widget in Pollock, and hope to do a Step by Step series about that. I also want to show how to extend an existing widget.

There are also other topics I need to cover, which include details on using the Form, Grid and TabControl widgets, each which have powerful capabilities.

But first, I must finish this first Pollock task, because... there are a LOT of bug fixes in with this first step of Flicker Free.

So, in a few weeks, I'll be publishing a new version of Pollock, and immediately follow it with the continuation of the How To... posts... starting with using a TabControl on our CHB.

Stay tuned..
