[Dev-C++] again with my question about a good interface

[FABIAN H. <fhu...@ho...>]

Here I go again!.

Hi again! This is the code for a Dialog window from a resource file, it is 
generated when I edit that file
and i choose create Dialog Window from the Resource file editor's toolbar. 
In the two last
lines is the  empty BEGIN-END that i told you.
The  question were (and are):
What commands can i put there?
How can costruct a Dialog than let me get some String as input, using this 
resource editor?
Where can i find some help for this?
Please, i'm waiting for yours answers.

//Dialog window declaration
#include <windows.h>

100 DIALOG 0, 0, 200, 200
STYLE WS_VISIBLE | WS_SYSMENU | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | DS_MODALFRAME
CAPTION "Dialog title"
FONT 8,"Helv"
BEGIN                        //empty begin-end
END

Hello Fabian Huenuman!

You need a resource editor program. A simple text editor would be enough, but it 
is very hard to write a dialog box (or any) resource by hand. It is better to 
use graphical editors. They visualize the actual lookout of your resource 
(dialog box...).
I recommend the editor of the Lcc-Win32 compiler system. It is a complete 
programming environment (with own compiler), but it has an absolutely separate 
resource editor. Go to
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/
and download the stuff. Then you can use the weditres.exe to edit resources. You 
don't need to start the compiler environment.

 > Where can i find some help for this?
For help on resources, look in the Windows API documentation, or search the Net.
If you need, I can write you examples.

After you are ready with the resource file (*.rc) just add it to your project in 
Dev-C++.

I really hope this will help you get started.

Hello again Fabian Huenuman!

I know a good tutorial on Windows programming. It has a good description of 
resources for starter Windows programmers. It was written by Colin Peters. I 
have downloaded it once, but now I cannot find it on the Net. I have it in one 
compressed file: 144 Kb. I will send it to you personally.
