Ok. I'm having trouble figuring this out.
How do I create windows, and link the buttons to do things like
OK would close the one box
Cancel would close ALL boxes
And link text to the internet!
Also, I managed to make a window! BUT I can't get its source code, or the program to run the window!
>How do I create windows
Click on File->New Form. In BCB speak, windows are forms.
>I'm having trouble figuring this out
Probably because you're thinking about it from the wrong angle. A lot of stuff is done in the IDE without having to write code.
>BUT I can't get its source code
See above.
There is source code there, but it's in a native format - the same used by Delphi. If you right click on a design time form, and select View as Text, you will see it.
Normally you just drag things around and write the code behind the events.
However, BCB is at the end of the day a standard C++ compiler with some design time stuff tagged on. You can write apps the standard way if you like, but you will have to create a different type of project other than the default one.
>And link text to the internet!
Assign an on-click event to something and call:
ShellExecute(Handle, "open", webUrl.c_str(), 0, 0, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
>or the program to run the window!
Err? Try "New Project" & "Run". This would automatically give you a running exe with a blank window.
