Brasier,

  Try www.informit.com.  Then click on the "Free Library" link.  On that =
screen, over to the left, are subject links for various IT subjects inclu=
ding programming.  There are books listed for C and C++.  One is the Sams=
 "Teach Yourself C/C++ in 21 Days."  You can view and/or print the info f=

Hi again :)

When you guys were very first starting out and you knew nothing about the=
 code (C/C++) at all, how did you learn? I have no money to spend on the =
books so i need mostly free websites :)

ok one more time....Thanks

[jansb000 <jan...@wx...>]

We use the Allegro game library. It is multi-platform, and it is optimised
to use DX in Windows and GL in UNIX. It also works for DOS.
For the sake of ease of use we have created a C++ wrapper around it.

The WCS project is also multi-platform. Some of the developers use LINUX. I
have Win98.

One of the open tasks is to extend the C++ graphics wrapper so that it can
work with SDL.

[Dev-C++] Dsiplaying images

[Gregor P. <Gre...@dl...>]

Hi there,

I like to display some Images, the examples in my books are using the
function
    DibLoadImage( szFileName )
from the header file
    dibfile.h

like
# include "dibfile.h"
BITMAPFILEHEADER* pbmfh;

pbmfh = DibLoadImage( "myPic.bmp" );
...

The Borland Win32 Programmer Reference doesn't know such a function and
Dev-C++ nothing about such a headerfile.

Does someone know what to do?

Re: [Dev-C++] Access Registry.

[Bruno B. <bbe...@cl...>]

Hello again,

The line ' HKEY HKEY_USERS\wendel_test ' is wrong. You can't do that. HKEY is a
registry key handle not the key's name.

Bruno Berteau

Re: [Dev-C++] Access Registry.

[Bruno B. <bbe...@cl...>]

Hello,

You only have to include windows.h before winreg.h.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <winreg.h>

You can't use #include <Winreg.h> with Dev-C++. Just delete that line. For the use of RegCreateKeyEx, at the link in the beginning of this message, you will find links to some examples.

Hello Tim,

I tryed ... it!! and have some explanations/examples! Then i tryed it in my

This structure of program work very well. compiled!

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

 return(0);
}

But if i try put the code prom open a key in registry....

#include <stdio.h>
#include <Winreg.h>   //Header: Declared in Winreg.h; include Windows.h.
#include <Windows.h>  // i put this 2 headers as is needed in the text.

int main()
{
 LONG RegCreateKeyEx(
 HKEY HKEY_USERS\wendel_test
 return(0);
}

When i try compile i recive:

if the MIngw team make a new Mingw release with gcc 3.0 then i will probably

Hi all,

I'm trying learn how to access the registry. I saw a document with a fast

to access the registry ?? example to read keys, list keys, subkeys, create

Tanks!

[Dev-C++] Framerate-limiter?

[<ste...@ge...>]

Hey there!

I am trying to make a framerate limiter for my new game, but I can't =
make it work.
I would do it something like this:


#include <time.h>
#include <conio.h>

void frames(void)
{
    const float TimePerFrame =3D 1 / 73;    /* 73 FPS */
    clock_t start, end;

    start =3D clock();

    while( !kbhit() )    /* GameLoop  */
    {
        end =3D clock();   =20
        while( ((end-start)/CLK_TCK) < TimePerFrame )
        {
            end =3D clock();
        }
    }

    DoSomeGameStuff();    /*  Some stuff for da game  */
}


I can't see what's wrong, but maybe someone out there can :)
Thanks!

RE: [Dev-C++] Reading GCC output

[Brian C. B. <bcb...@ya...>]

Hi,
  Don't worry about sending to my email address, that is perfectly alright.
As for my IDE, it is extremely new and has very little functionality to
offer at this time. I had planned to have it GCC specific because I am most
familiar with GCC. I am not against including other compiler support if
someone points out good reasons to include it. That said, you might want to
check out the free V IDE available at http://www.objectcentral.com/vide.htm.
It can use GCC, Borland C++ 5.5, or Sun JDK. Here is what it says "Supports
development of both C/C++ with the GNU gcc/g++ compiler for MS-Windows and
Linux, (OS/2 environment soon), as well as the Java development using the
Sun JDK. Borland C++ Compiler 5.5 - VIDE has very good support for the free
Borland command line compiler tools. It can build Console, GUI, and static
library project files. It also includes some extra documentation about the
Borland environment. VIDE also supports Borland's Turbo Debugger TD32."
Email me if you have any other questions. Also, I can post a message to the
DevCpp list concerning this topic (I am assuming you can recieve messages);
email me with the message to post and I will post it.

Sincerely,
Brian

Also I want to ask if this IDE that you are planning to code. Will be

If you want to learn game programming you may be interrested to join the WCS
project. This project has the explicit goals:
- learn C++
- learn game programming
- learn using animation (and multimedia in general)

Have a look at http://sf.net/projects/wcs-jabe
Let me know if you need more info.

Re: [Dev-C++] 16 bit dos applications

[Steve D. P. <ste...@ho...>]

    You can create console apps, but they will be 32-bit and only function within the
cosole window of a 32-bit version of Windows.  MinGW (the compiler at the core of
Dev-C++) does not produce 16-bit executables.

RE: [Dev-C++] Reading GCC output

[Johannes P. <joh...@pr...>]

Hi there
------------

Sorry for sending to your personal mail. but I have trouble sending to the 
DevCpp list. it something (well most of the times) reject my mail.
Also I want to ask if this IDE that you are planning to code. Will be 
compiler specific. For (exept for WinEdit) I am looking for a
IDE that can use almost any compiler. Like Borland C++ 5.

Well just wanted to ask considering I cant get onto the DevCpp list to ask 
this Question..

Thanks for your time and sorry for mailing your private..

Johannes Pretorius

[Dev-C++] 16 bit dos applications

[Zade, A. <az...@cy...>]

Hi,
I am new to Dev-C++ environment.
Can I create 16 bit dos applications using DevC++?

Thanks.
