If you're using EuGTK, it's easy:
atom win, btn
win = window("Title goes here")
btn = button("Push me!")
addto(win,btn)
show(win)
main()
If you're using Win32Lib, then get Judith's IDE, and drop a button
where you want it on the window.
Both Win32Lib and EuGTK come with short example programs using each of the
controls,
including scrolled windows, sliders, etc.
Without a library such as Win32Lib or EuGTK, creating a Windows window
takes about 100 lines of code.

And there are a few other libraries in the archive that help coders
write Windows programs.

Ya, Derek, that new scriptable interface is nice, but I still stick
with the old, code-it-yourself stuff.
include Win32Lib.ew
constant Main = create( Window, "My Window", 0, Default, Default,
640, 480, 0 )
constant Btn1 = create( PushButton, "Click Me", Main, 10, 10, 90, 30, 0 )
procedure Btn1_Click( integer pSelf, integer pEvent, sequence pParams )
VOID = message_box( "You clicked me!", "My Window", MB_OK )
end procedure
setHandler( Btn1, w32HClick, routine_id("Btn1_Click") )
WinMain( Main, Normal )

Yeah, I understand. What I wanted to do was enable people to code
with the tools that suits them and their purposes. That's why win32lib
provides the coder with a number of different ways to build windows.
In the example I gave to this thread I wanted to show (as Irv did too),
the dramatic difference that can librarys can provide, show I showed
the smallest working example of a buttoned window. Your example is
perfectly sound too and thanks for providing an alternative.
Some people enjoy coding Windows programs using the low-level API
calls too. I believe that there is a nice example in the DEMO
folder that comes with Euphoria. It weighs in a 254 lines and doesn't
even have a button!
You should see the new userInput() command that I've got coming in
the next version

When you say "how to make it scroll", what exactly are you trying to
scroll?
The normal way is to trap the scroll event and then adjust the display
accordingly. In other words, the scrollbar doesn't *cause* your stuff
to move, it just tells your program that the user would like to move
your stuff, but you still have to do the moving.

I think this is what you're looking for. I whipped up a little
demo with a Window inside a Window that's bigger than its parent, and
moves inside the parent using the scroll bars. I've attached it to
this message.
Derek -
Maybe you should include this in the Win32Lib demos? That'd be
great. Thanks.

I don't get attachments using the Web interface so can you email
me the demo program?
