Title: For Newbies - dialog application with source
Post by: Draakie on October 09, 2006, 06:31:50 AM
From an older post :

Hiya, Seeing as loads of ppl helped me and the wife get started on Visual Windows Assembler
in this forum (quite a learning curve from Real Mode) - I've decided to give back aswell.
I'll be posting a Micro Loan App (fully dialog based) shortly (A day or two or three). It's
not meant for commercial use please !,  as some of the add-ons ex. XXXRichEdit, FPU
convertion and function code are copyrighted by other ppl etc. The reason for the post besides
what I've mentioned before : the source might be of interest to others that have'nt grasped some
of the API's yet : (I did comment the code here and there - but visually it should be easy to follow)

Features
---------------
1 .Integrating external LIB's
2. Memory Mapped files.
3. Parrallel file I/O.
4. User input parsing.
5. Loads of FPU using some of Raymonds functions.
6. Using the XXXRichedit lib.
7. Scroll Bar syncing.
8. Multiple Dialog control and administration. 
9. Bitmap in dialog display.
10. Global Atom assign / release.
(added)
11. ListViews
12. DateViews

WARNING:
The source is by no means optimized (nor will it ever be-there's no need). The code is not
written by a master (see Hutch or P1 etc. for that) - it's the way I understand it at present.
Feel free to flame me for doing stupid things here and there. Truthfully I hope it will help
some-one else out - that's all. The wife helped to debug this   - so it should'nt blow up
your computer.  


So here's the post as promised.............

Last minute note : You need a printer installed. See Readme.txt for other notes.

MacroLend.zip = Executable / MacroLend_ASM.zip = source / Sample.zip = Tester Data files

Draakie,

I just downloaded the 3 files and when it starts up it looks great but if I press any of a couple of buttons, it crashes and will not start on my win2000 sp4. This much, I did not have a printer available when I did the tests.

Developed and produced on Win XP SP2 - can't vouch for anything else.

Sorry - hutch - did'nt test on other platforms yet.  :( -
But could most possibly be the printer thing. The Global Atom is still assigned
at the time of crash - so application will not restart - Creative reboot required :dance:

[PBrennick] - Thanx
