Windows Sample

Compiling

To compile the example:

• Launch EiffelStudio.
• Select Use existing Ace (control file) and click OK.
• Browse to Eiffel52\examples\wel\windows\.
• Choose Ace.ace
• Choose the directory where the project will be compiled, by default the same directory containing the Ace file. If you select another directory than the default one, please copy images (*.bmp), icons (*.ico) and resource files (*.rc) from the default directory (the one containing the Ace file) to the new one.
• Click OK.

Running

After launching the program, a window will appear with a custom ON_OFF_CONTROL control displayed. Clicking on this control will cause it's state to change. If you select one of the options from the "Windows" menu, that type of window will be displayed.

Under the Hood

The ON_OFF_CONTROL inherits WEL_CONTROL_WINDOW and demonstrates how to build your controls. The classes MODAL and MODELESS inherit WEL_MODAL_DIALOG and WEL_MODELESS_DIALOG respectively.

This sample contains the following classes:

• APPLICATION_IDS
• MAIN_WINDOW
• MODAL
• MODELESS
• ON_OFF_CONTROL
• WINDOWS_DEMO
