New to Euphoria and GUI
Greetings All
I am new to Euphoria and GUI programming, although an experienced=20
programmer. I was looking around for a decent tool for programming=20
because QBASIC limitations were annoying me and I wanted to write a=20
couple of programs that would be used by a other people and so needed to=
=20
look nice and be easy to learn to use.
I found Euphoria and have decided that this is really a great tool for=20
what I want to do, and it is clear that there are lots of people doing=20
many of the things I want to do with Euphoria, and this forum is very=20
active. Great! I have downloaded about a hundred things already.
Clearly a number of people have put a great deal of effort into Win32Lib=
=20
and many other tools available. However being inexperienced in GUI I=20
cannot understand the jargon and the help information in Win32Lib.
The Encyclop=E6dia Euphoria is very useful for finding help on lots of=20
stuff, but it doesn't answer my basic questions about GUI terminology.=20
When I look up "create" it tells me that one of the fields is "flags"=20
but there doesn't seem to be a list anywhere of the available flags.
Then I found EUwinGUI which is much simpler that Win32Lib but still does=
=20
everything I want to do with a window (I think). Also, the Window=20
Designer is an easy way to make nice looking stuff and to see the code=20
and begin to learn the jargon from that. Well done Andrea Cini!
If anyone knows of a web site or DLable help file that gives a basic=20
course in GUI terminology and the possible values for flags, options etc=
=20
then I would like to know about that.
You can expect some questions from me in the near future. In fact there=
=20
is one coming right up after this post 
Happy programming
