#3094 — How hard would it be... (IIgs)

How hard would it be to come up with something to just set up the GUI and 
pop up a dialog box?  Something like this on Windows...

#include <windows.h>

#define MSGBOX_ALERT 48

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  MessageBox(0, "Hello, cruel world.", "Message", MSGBOX_ALERT);
  return 0;
}

(though noting, I would probably not be using C, and I might have to 
initialize stuff by hand that ProDOS-16 or GS/OS do for me.)

-uso.

#include <Locator.h>
#include <Window.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	Ref ssRef;
	ssRef = StartupTools(MMStartUp(), RefIsResource, (Ref)1);
	AlertWindow(awCString+awPointer, NULL, (Ref)"Hello");
	ShutDownTools(RefIsHandle, ssRef);
	return 0;
}

Untested, of course, and it depends on the toolbox StartStopRecord 
being in the resource fork.

Ouch.  That would make trying to crossdevelop GS GUI stuff a pain in the 
neck.

-uso.

I've always felt that trying to <any> develop <any> GUI stuff is a pain in
the neck. ;-)

I'm not gonna disagree.

Now if only there were something like Visual Basic for the GS. ;)

-uso.

Here's a summary of GS programming languages:

I had kinda forgotten about it - thanks for reminding me!  :-)

Cheers,
Mike

GSoft.  Posted in this forum for csa2 is a Norezframe program for Gsoft. 
  I laid out the basic framework for a desktop GS program without using 
resources so you wouldn't need to deal with that.  Using that and a 
little bit of code will throw up an alert window pretty easy.
