Hi All,
A few months ago, I bought PB8, Forms, and EZGUI as we needed to develop a series of apps at short notice. That process went very well, EZGUI made it too easy in a way, as I got the apps up and running without really knowing what was going on "under the hood".
Now that's out the way, I want to look at PB (and Windows development in general) in a bit more detail. I'd like to start by making something that can open a small text file (something like an old school windows .INI file), change a character or two, and save it. This would give me the basics: File i/o, displaying data, and controlling what it does.
There are lots of useful examples on the site showing how to do specific tasks, but I couldn't see too much at the other end of the scale, other than some msgbox "Hello World" things.
Can anyone provide the source to (or a link to) a simple app like the one outlined above? Once I've got these basics (no pun intended) I'll then look at doing some fancier stuff.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help out.
Cheers,
Chris
