Create a Dialog
in [Win32 API]
|
From: Piranha on 23 Jul 2008 18:04 I´m finding 1000s of hits on Google, even 100s of tutorials, but they all are made for VC++ or MFC or Borland. Maybe I´m just blind, but I can´t get the smallest Dialog to work, it always ends up in a bunch of compiler errors. I guess it´s because I´m not using any of those compilers, but Code::Block/MinGW/GCC++, meaning I already get stuck when it comes to linker settings and includes, obviously a tutorial for VC++ doesn´t mention which libraries to include, while VC++ has them included by default. So the question is, how do I create a dialog, or where can I find a beginners tutorial that isn´t based on a specific compiler or at least mentions what one has to include when using a different compiler. I´d be happy to have a single edit field and an OK button where the user can submit a line of text to the program.

[1] <http://msdn.microsoft.com> or, for instance: <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ms644996(VS.85).aspx> for each Win32 function the MSDN pages give you the name of header file and import library (the ones you'll list as linker parameters). HTH, Sylvain.

My GCC build batch file looks something like this: windres test.rc test.o gcc -mwindows test.cpp test.o If you use Windows Common Controls, you'll need to add -lcomctl32 before - mwindows theForger's tutorial has a few hints for different compilers, but is based on VC++: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ Puckdropper -- If you're quiet, your teeth never touch your ankles.

In his page about Dialogs, I get as far as line one of chapter one, creating a resource. That´s where my compiler already brings up "syntax error" and I have no clue what is spelled wrong there. I´ve downloaded his source code, to check for differences, but aparently the typo is in there as well.

Stupid question, but... are you trying to compile the resource script with a C compiler? That could be a problem. I've never encountered a C compiler that recognizes and does the right thing with a resource file; there's a separate resource compiler you should be using. I believe it's `windres' for MinGW. (A Win32 linker should be able to recognize and DTRT with the compiled resource file.) dave -- Dave Vandervies dj3vande at eskimo dot com I recall a car which had a "CHECK ENGINE" _noise_. When the noise stopped, you checked the engine. --Tanuki in the scary devil monastery
