Thanks everybody (keep up with suggestions) I will probably want a "C for Windows" sort of book if such exists. Not "how to program" in general but "how to interact with objects of type "window"". Any ideas? I have written some* C, but that was in a Linux environment and I wasn't (yet) interacting with GUI windows. Before trying to fix anything, I'll want to do a little practicing. Nobody ever paid me to write stuff for them in C, just picked it up (yet another language, easy once you know half a dozen) after retiring early post Y2K. All that stuff (hardware and software) lost in the Nov 2006 house fire. Keep in mind that we just got back into the house December and won't be making final decisions on equipment replacement till the 2 year cutoff next November so I won't have a machine under 'nix till then.
Michael * Only a few thousand lines total, but including a fairly substantial project (2nd Lempel-Zev Universal Data Compression Algorithm -- a finite version so once the dictionary reached a defined limit, replacement of entires by RLU --- lots of practice with lists and queues). Programs to meet standards in how parameters entered, having help and about and stuff like that. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
