Programming / A clock in WPS - Educational Project
« on: May 08, 2020, 01:22:17 am »
Hi
I still want to try to make my first WPS application. But I need to learn more on how to make an WPS app, so I guess my first step will be to set a goal.
My goal will be to create a WPClock clone called XWPClock as a child of WPAbstract (and not as a child of WPClock).
I'm thinking, as a first stage, to have some kind of application skeleton first. Like having the .IDL file of the XWPClock class and a initial GUI that can be compiled, but without the logic of a working app.
I just want to create the XWPClock class with three tabs and some controls (checkboxes, label, etc), but with no logic first. Like it is a mockup screen but in a DLL that can be registered on the WPS.
Will it be ok to use the Resource Editor (dlgedit.exe) to create the GUI? I see that Doodle Screen Saver uses it. Is there any other technique suggested for the GUI?
Regards
