Hi

Im started to learn c++
I have bought a big book about c++ and i hope to get it this week.
im planning a project for one of my dream project i wanna make in c++. I call it window maker. It should be a dll for dbpro. Were you could make windows like windows(pop-ups) for your games. It should be easy and quick to use. Also you should could make buttons for you windows easly and quickly too.

Ideas to commands that could be in Window Maker:




MAKING COMMANDS:

make window window number,xsize,ysize

make window input xpos,ypos,xsize,ysize

make window button button number,xsize,ysize




POSITION COMMANDS:

position window window number,xpos,ypos

position button button number,xpos,ypos




SCALE COMMANDS:

scale window window number,xsize,ysize




DELETE COMMANDS:

delete window window number

delete button button number



HIDE/SHOW COMMANDS:

hide window window number

show window window number




WRITING COMMANDS:

write button text button number,textstring$







What the commands should do :


MAKING COMMANDS:

make window window number,xsize,ysize :
This command should make a windows looking window in the decided size.


make window input xpos,ypos,xsize,ysize :
This command should make a text box in the decided size.


make window button button number,xsize,ysize :
This commands should make a windows looking button.


POSITION COMMANDS:

position window window number,xpos,ypos :
this command will position the decided window in a decided position.


position button button number,xpos,ypos :
This command will position a button in the decided x and y pos.


SCALE COMMANDS:

scale window window number,xsize,ysize :
This command should scale a window in the decided x and y size.


DELETE COMMANDS:

delete window window number :

This command should delete a decided window.


HIDE/SHOW COMMANDS:

hide window window number :
This command should hide a decided window.


show window window number :
This command should show a decided window.


WRITING COMMANDS:

write button text button number,string$ :
This command should write a decided string in a button.




i think this idea could turn out pretty good
Why do i plan a project i even can`t make yet?
so i have something to aim for

u will also need a windows api programming book or some good turtials over the win32api to start doing what u really want

also may i suggest a look at bcx it is a good way to learn the win32api thru trial and error and observation although i would reccomend not learning it the generic way

edit:
also u realy dont know about the win32api trust me u will need a lot more commands than that for it to be veyr powerful
your commands are to general they have to be specific unless your making a baby app

X-Patch x-patch.exe(gui):75% make.exe:5% x-patch.dll(runtime dll):0% developed on win xp home sp2
