hi there, I look forward to creating GUI applications with visual C++, but we have not done GUI or even OOP in class yet. 1) is OOP essential to program with a GUI? 2) furthermore, is making a GUI complicated? the tutorials I've been following have been headache after headache and even after figuring them out, I dont understand applications as a whole. 3) are there any sample more simple visual C++ source codes you can refer me to/suggest? thanks x-ecutioner |

1) No. It's possible to write GUIs in non-OOP languages. Many toolkits, however, are designed for OOP because doing so makes sense. 2) Making a GUI is deceptively complex, though the code turns out to be relatively mundane. The most difficult part is probably going to be inverting the flow of control of your programs - in a console application, the user is prompted for input; in a GUI app, the user is shown a display which may be accessed in a variety of ways which may send the application down different execution paths. 3) Sorry, I don't write much C++, maybe someone else can help. |
