small program to help get an idea

[Joe Covay]

I am try to learn pb. I would like to see some very samll proram.
If some one could post some thing like what I described here

"I would like to see the code for a small program that take in a
string of alpha data then by cliking a button you then send the
text to a difernt window."

this would give me a way to get a hand of this code. codeing for windows
is new to me.

thanks
Joe

Joe,

You want the text to be sent to a different window owned by this
application or a different application entirely?

Or do you want it to just display the text on the same window?

I started posting some small programs, but in each case they were old and I didn't think it would be a good idea to teach you my bad habits LOL...

I've learned a bit more professional coding style since, Sooooooooooooooooooooo....


See the SAMPLES folder in your PBDLL install, just do file open-> Then click samples, then click DDT, and I believe helloDDT.BAS will help you get an idea.

The help is a great help too, use it a LOT!

And email any thing you get "Stuck" on, I don't have a lot of time for writing tons of code lately ( ) but I'd be happy to debug something..

Joe;

To make life easier you can generate the basic skeleton for
programs (the GUI part) by using our
Freeware DDT Visual Designer.

You can quickly get the feel for making DDT programs Visually
with PB and its free.

http://ezgui.com

The download is on the Products page !

Peter,

In the example code you gave above how could I be able to paste
a string in the text box and be able to copy a string from the
text box ?

I haven't done any PBDLL programming and I thought the example
code you gave is a good starting point for a program I want to
write to encrypt strings. What I want to be able do is copy
string from PB/IDE and paste into text box. The program will
encrypt string with encrypting function and display the encrypted
string in the text box. I can then copy that enctrypted string
and paste in PB/IDE. This is to make strings in my program
unreadable in the compiled EXE.

I will appreciate your help and suggestions.

Thanks.

Peter,

After searching through PB Forum, I found routines for copying
data to clipboard and retrieving data from clipboard. I believe
I should be able to accomplish what I want to do using these
routines.

I have been using PBCC along with Console Tools plus Graphix
from Perfect Sync. Writing this small program will give me
start for using PBDLL6.
