C++ programming question??

How would I create the simple windows interface and in that window have an input bar where I would insert my current weight in pounds. Then have 2 buttons beneath this bar for stone and kilograms.

C++ programming question??
Unfortunately, "the simple windows interface" is not that simple in C++. If you're using a command-line compiler, you will need to read a book before you can do this. If you're using the Microsoft compiler and have Visual Studio, it is simpler - use the Managed Code model and build a Windows Forms application. Other company's products will have similar rapid development features, but I'm less familiar with those.





However, if you don't have to use C++, for a program like this, I would suggest you look at a different language. I would recommend C#, which is very like C++ in many respects, but has several advantages in simplicity of use (without losing very much power unless you want to write very high-performance software) and clarity of design. C# Express is a free download from MS.





There are several tutorials on the web (and on the Microsoft website) which will take you through enough of the features of C# and Visual Studio (the development environment for C#) to do what you want. This forum isn't really suitable for a step by step walk-through of the process.
Reply:I know this totally doesn't help, but that simple window interface and other gui stuff is so much easier using visual basic or html, or even flash.





Actually no, what version of C++ are you using? You would have an easier time with the GUI if you used Borland Turbo C++ rather than Visual C++. You would click on that type of setup when you start your file/project.
Reply:I recommend you use Java. Use Netbeans IDE to do the task. NetBeans I believe has a support for C++.





When you package your application as an installer ready for distribution use NSIS install system. When you have questions, contact me or participate in the NSIS forum. A lot of languages and IDES are great topics in the forum.
