Adventures in B

[Aurel]

well yes for me is adventures  
infact is not that bad because i already know some GUI api programming ..heh
most of things are same or similar just stupid syntax make me nervous 

[Tomaaz]

What's the point of showing screenshots only. Post some code. It will be more interesting.

[Aurel]

Aha..you need code ...
well code is some sort of secret ..

of course is not here is as simple as can be

Just to let you know i am doing this without any GUI designer
..hmm maybe i need one ...

[Tomaaz]

Aurel, we know your English. This is a copy/paste work, ha ha ha!  You would never write comments like that. 

[Aurel]

NULL,                  /* no menu */
                          hInst,                 /* Program Instance handler */
                          NULL);                 /* No Window Creation data */

you mean this comments ...
ha ha ..gee it is not copy/paste like you often do   
are you really that st****  dude this comments are added by Falcon C++ IDE
when you build new project...
do you get it now "expert" 

[Tomaaz]

No, I mean all comments. 

[Aurel]

What all comments 
probably i am stupid now because i don't get it what you mean under "all comments" 

[Aurel]

If you still not believe here is screenshot of Falcon C++ IDE with new project...

[Tomaaz]

This is a template from your IDE. You haven't written this code. You simply copied/posted it here. What is the point of copying/pasting templates? Please...   

[Tomaaz]

Just to let you know. .cpp is an extension of C++ code.  You know that C++ and C are not exactly the same thing. Classes, objects, OOP... This is just brilliant!   

[Aurel]

What you babeling this time 
No it is pure C you "expert"
Sorry I understand that you don't know difference between C and C++.
yes it is some sort of template if you looking on that in this way .
Something similar i wrote when i do awinh.inc include file for my Oxygen Basic
programming ...so it is just copy/paste too ?

NO is not copy/paste!

So ..do i need to do that here again in C when i can use this piece of code to
try some simple things ..NO i don't .

This code just create window with message loop and nothing else.
In fact i will put it into new include .h file to simplify coding.

would you like to know more "expert" ?

[Aurel]

For "experts " like you Tomek here is C++

Yes, please! It's always good to have a laugh.

Look i know that you fooling around with me and you like "eat-the-shit" all the time but hey
there are other people who visit this place and that might destroy my good reputation
