1. New Looking for Info
Hello All! I am in desperate need of some useful info on this Euphoria
stuff. I have been learning programming for the last month or two. Mostly in
QBasic. Uck! Any way. I have the win32lib and a visual editor. About all I
can do is open a "Simple Window". IS there anywhere I can go to find out
how to do simple stuff. Change window color, print words in window, put
graphics in window. Stuff like that but just realy simple to start. No user
input required. Any help would be great thanks all. lol

Ad and Wolfgang wrote a great tutorial for Win32Lib. You can download it
from http://www.king.igs.net/~wolfritz/tutor.htm You will need win32lib.ew
version 0.40a, which you can also download from their site. Also, there is
a TON of information in win32Lib.doc, if you're patient enough to search
for it...
Good Luck and enjoy!

If you're using Dave's IDE, it's fairly simple:
Drop a bitmap (the first button on the button bar, the one with the
cactus...)
onto your window, and size it to suit. It will be named Bitmap1.
Then doubleclick on the window _outside_ the bitmap to open the code
editor, and select onOpen from the right-hand pulldown menu.
add the following line to the MainWindow_onOpen procedure:
setBitmap(Bitmap1,"C:\\whatever\\something.bmp") -- change last part to
suit.
Close the code editor using the top right-hand [x], run the program and your
bitmap will show up.
Double click on the window, and select (General) from the right-hand
pulldown. Add a global procedure like this one:
global procedure Say(integer x1, integer y1, sequence msg)
setPosition(Window1,x1,y1)
wPuts(Window1,msg)
end procedure
Close the Editor.
Double click again on the window, this time pull down onPaint.
Add this code to be executed whenever the window is repainted:
Say(10,10,"Hello")
Say(100,100,"World!")
Close the Editor to save your work, and run.
To change colors:
Add this line to the onClick response:
setWindowBackColor(Window1,rand(#FFFFFF))
Now, every time you click on the window, the background color will change.

Go through the example programs (EX01.EXW through EX18.EXW) that are
included with Win32Lib. Each demo program shows off an additional feature,
and builds on the prior example. For example:
EX01: create a simple window
EX02: display "Hello, World!" in a window
EX03: put a command button in a window
EX04: attach an action to a command button
etc.
