I've only really started doing slightly more advanced stuff with C++ recently and at the moment I am trying to make a window.
I have managed to actually make the window, but on the tutorial I'm using it says I need to make a project file and have the resource file in with the main source file and I managed that easily, but now the compile and run buttons have gone faded.
Is there something I'm meant to do to a project file to make it so I can compile it?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Asking a question, and then responding later with a statement like
"nevermind I got it working now"
is considered rude, even if you got the answer yourself.
Why?
A couple of reasons:
First, when you ask a question, you are asking other people to
take their time to help you - when you don't take the time to
document how you solved your problem, you are saying, whether you
mean to or not - "I only want people to give me stuff, I don't
want to give anything back"
Next, the chances are any problem you have is not unique, so others
in th future may have the same issues. When you take the time to
go beyond a "never mind" post, you give to those that read this
forum, now, and in the future.
Everyone doesn't have to me like Soma, or Clifford, who answer
thousands of questions for every one they ask - but you should
think of this forum as a way to give back to the community that
gave you a tool, developed over years and many many hours of
developer time, for free.
