Title: Adding Controls
Post by: toshiomoto on August 13, 2008, 08:32:22 AM
I still a newbie in assembly programming, I have known on how to add buttons, textboxes and labels on win32 applications.. But there are a few controls that I don't know how to add it on a application like:

Radio Buttons
CheckBoxes
Sliders
Combo Boxes
List Boxes

Though the MASM32 package comes up with some example codes regarding with adding these controls. Still i'm confused on how to read the codes. Hope that someone could explain to me in detail.

Thanks :)

hi toshiomoto,
I 'm new in windows programming too.
But I got a rocket start after I spent some time in studying RadASM.

And look for the tutorials of Ranma_at.

Toshio,

You need to get a bit of a feel for the type of code that you use in MASM. A control on a normal window is done with CreateWindowEx() using a predefined control class but you will need to get familar with the basics of writing windows code in MASM to do it. Try out the predefined templates in the new version of masm32, they are designed to get you started quickly.

An IDE is a very good tool but if you start on one, you will not learn the basics of asembler programming which defeats the purpose of writing code of this type. Start wth the basics and you will be able to set up your own programming environment in whatever way you like.
