Modify Set Example

The Modify Set example demonstrates the following:

• How to build a plugin module for the VR-Forces Gui
• How to override existing set dialog functionality and replace with your own

To observe the plugin:

1. Start vrfGui and vrfSim
2. Create an M1A2 entity
3. Select the entity and Set > Location...
4. Observe the combo-box labeled "Example Combo". It should have options "Item 1" and "Item 2"
