Hi Kornalius,
I am programming a little "database" program, to store personal data as accounts, insurance numbers etc., using the standard Windows controls as forms, tab and text controls, labels (statics), control bar and menus, list boxes, but also the integrated encryption functionality (that's a nice thing!). I'm doing that using PPL, because I wanted to try out it. All is working fine. It needed some time more as usually, because I was new in PPL and API programming.
Therefore I'm sure, that PPL is usefull not only for games, but even to create Windows "standard" programs w/o the game API.
But because I have only little experiences relating API programming, I have still one problem, which about I already asked in this forum (three weeks ago), but unfortunately didn't get an answer till now:
ALL ELEMENTS OF THE WINDOWS ARE ONLY WHITE.
How can I change the background color of a form and of a control?
In the internet I found out, how it works in C, and I think, I understand the principle. But I didn't understand till now, how I access class members in PPL, resp. how I create at first a window class with the needed members; is there any template, predefined structure etc.? Or is this the wrong way?
I think, I understand right, that the intention of PPL is programming games at first.
But I think, that other programms, as the example above, are important too, or not?
So it would be very nice, and I would be very, very glad, if you could help me with any suggestion or example, which shows me the right way to a colored background...
Please help!
Best regards from Berlin (Germany)
Joerg.
