CreateApp

by Chris Pedley


CreateApp is a time-saving development utility for C programmers using the DeskLib freeware library. It will create the bare bones of an application for you: just enter in the details of your new application's Info window, its icon bar presence, and the C code needed is automatically generated for you.

Using CreateApp
Running CreateApp icon will install an icon on the icon bar. Click with Select on the icon to bring up a window with some options relating to your Wimp program. When you have selected the options you want, save the application from the icon bar menu. Don't forget to prefix the name with a pling (exclamation mark: !).

In order to compile the code produced, you will also need the Error source code provided with DeskLib and, of course, the DeskLib library itself. All headers should be in a header directory in the form "DeskLib:name.h". Have a look at the source produced, and it should make sense.
