WinAPI Dialogs class without MFC

killdude69 0 Tallied Votes 206 Views Share

This is the Dialogs.h part from the WGCL C++ Compiler Library I created. This creates classes for dialogs, it could cut the amount of code for dialogs you need to write in half, while still having the same amount of functionality.

This library is licensed under the GNU General Public License, it is completely free, and you can customize the source code to fit your needs. But I request you leave the lisence and credit comments at the top. Also, this is not commented very well because it was not originally created to teach people, people with moderate to advanced programming skills will be able to understand the code very will without the aid of comments.

Good Work.

>only works with Dev-Cpp, may not work with any other compiler
Dev-C++ isn't a compiler, it's an IDE which uses MinGW as it's compiler :P

Nice snippet!

You know what I meant tux4life. :)

I actually have alot more of these:
RichTextBox
TextBox
ComboBox
Label
ect.

It is like my own .NET library, lol.
They all use the WinAPI. All open source.

You can download them @: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wgcl/

That is just a beta version, I am still working on the full release.
