Thread: I am in need of help, need C++ guidance

It sounds as if you're fairly new to programming in general. if so, I would strongly suggest you put on hold your ideas on 3D applications, web servers, etc, and concern yourself with getting a firm grounding in a programming language (Which doesn't have to be C++)

If you're looking for a mentor, this might not be the best place - most people here just devote a little spare time every now and then to posting on this forum, and have other full-time occupations. Perhaps signing up to a college programming course or evening class would be more fruitful.

I see... Thank you for your reply, and even though you said i should look somewhere else, I will continue searching until i have a skilled mentor to help me. :\

thank you for that, i will be sure to check that out.

ok, most of the things i needed were either deleted or just missing, what should i do now?

UI? what is it?

UI = User Interface.

google? i try searching for simple things on google such as a text box, i'll just post my questions here, alright?

ok then, i have many 8^)

1) Where can i find the C++ Color wheel? (such as in html, 000000 is black, FFFFFF is white)

2) I want to make a text box with a submit button, how?

3) I have a windows exe file already made, but it only has a gray screen when i double click on it to start it. If you have a prog called dev-cpp, then you should know what to look for. What i want to do is change that background to a picture called...."pic1"
can someone tell me how to call this picture as a background? it would be located at...lets say C:\pictures\pic1

4) I want to make a button that takes me to another place, first off, i want to click a button that says "Website" on it, and it takes me to an .html document. how do i do it?
another one will take me to the actual A.I. prog.
and I want to make an "About" button, it should open up a new window inside the program, (i also want to know how to put stuff inside this window) so i can drag it around and have a little "x" to close the window.
and finally, I want a button which will close the whole program, "Exit" will be on it.

5) Buttons. say i make the Website, exit, prog, and x button. I rename them pic "2, 3, 4, and 5"
How would i call these pics to be used in the program? is there an X Y axis that i can put them EXACTLY where i want the buttons to be?
i also want a mouse over and a button down pic to be called when i put my mouse over the button, and when i click down on the button.

6) People say that winRAR takes all of the files you need, and puts them into one .exe file, i tried looking, but i could not find it out. is there some sort of program that will let me pick the files i want to be installed? I do want an installer.

that is all for now, but there WILL be more.

Thanks in advance.
