Dialog Box

[Freddy]

Hi,

Can you create dialog boxes (like a GUI) using the C language...and if
so is it a complicated task?

Cheers,
Freddy

Yes. Any possible computation can be computed in C. This includes the
creation of dialog boxes. Nevertheless, the standard C language offers
no direct support for them, so you will probably want to use a
third-party library to help you out here. Alas, such libraries are not
topical in comp.lang.c, but you will be able to find out what you need
to know in a newsgroup such as, say, comp.unix.programmer or
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, or indeed whatever group is
applicable for your particular platform.

and if so is it a complicated task?

It depends.

Try the link below, it will help you to use dialogs, and much, much
more.
Not complicated at all.

No, it is quite easy, once you know how to do it.



This is done by the GUI that you are using. For instance using microsoft
windows you will have one method, using linux GTK you will have another,
and using the MacIntosh you will have yet another way of doing dialog
boxes.

There are some multi-platform libraries that allow you to specify your
dialog in some language and then they will make it run in different
platforms.

Thank you all for the replies...

I feel already comfortable that it could be done and it shouldn't be
too complicated...however is there a freeware library for that?

Yes, many. Depends on your platform and the resources it makes
available, and your requirements. Google comes back with a lot of hits
for "free GUI library" which you could tweak with more specific criteria.

That what could be done? Etc. See below.
