The examples are designed to demonstrate one single (simple) topic at a
time. I found that easier to digest than lots of complex examples.

Oh, thanks for bringing that to my attention. It seems BeyondCompare's
syncing killed the symlink. Please try the following URL for now - that
will work.

  http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/docs-1.0/index.html


I'll fix the symlink first chance I get.


For any future fpGUI support, could you please use the dedicated
newsgroups for that. I don't want to step on the toes of the FPC guys.
Thanks.

I'll take a look, but it worked here when I generated the v1.0 release docs.

Offline documentation can also be downloaded from SourceForge.

DocView (the official fpGUI documentation viewer) binaries can also be
downloaded from SourceForge, or you can compile the 'docview' project
yourself. DocView is used to view the INF help files.
