	These are not stand-along libraries, they are bundled and built as part
of LibreOffice; checkout the vcl/ directory in your 'core' checkout.
core/vcl/inc/vcl/ has the headers - some of which have comments.

	There are none; sadly.

	The code has a lot of such sample code ;-) Usually the best approach is
to pick a dialog a little bit like the one you want to produce: hunt
across the code, and base your work from that code.

	However - we're moving towards a new way of drawing, and laying out
dialogs - which uses a true 'layout' approach - this makes it much
easier to draw them (using the 'glade' tool), it also simplifies the
code. You can read about that here:

	https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/WidgetLayout

	If you expect full API documentation - then sorry, sadly, there is
none. If you want to contribute towards sending patches added doxygen
comments for pieces - that is most welcome ! What little we do have is
here:

	http://docs.libreoffice.org/vcl.html

	Out of interest - what feature do you want to work on ? perhaps we can
help with some code pointers.

	All the best,

		Michael.
