[Ves] Simple example of using Kiwi/VES

[Zhichao Hong]

Thank you all for your quick answer.  I end up using Pat's suggestion for
now.  It works perfectly except I need to add the line

vesTypeMacro(MyApp);  So the Ptr method and return the correct type.


Thank you both so much for the quick answer!


Best,

Zhichao
