Ok so here is my story. I am using the older model iMac G5 all in screen thing and am currently running leopard 10.5.2. Im not too sure if this is relevant but you never know!!
When it comes to computer programming i am a complete noob. I havent a clue what i am doing! So im trying to learn C++. Can you help?
I downloaded a tutorial that works through the compiler "bloodshed" but i am using Xcode 3.1 and this is where my problem is. So i open up Xcode. File > New Project > Carbon C++ Standard Application...
There is an attached picture of the window i am looking at. So i click on main.cp thinking that would make the most sense. And i get this
//
// main.cpp
// Untitled

#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>
#include "TApplication.h"
#include "TWindow.h"
// Our custom application class
class CarbonApp : public TApplication
{
public:
CarbonApp() {}
virtual ~CarbonApp() {}
protected:
virtual Boolean HandleCommand( const HICommandExtended& inCommand );
};
// Our main window class
class MainWindow : public TWindow
{
public:
MainWindow() : TWindow( CFSTR("MainWindow") ) {}
virtual ~MainWindow() {}
static void Create();
protected:
virtual Boolean HandleCommand( const HICommandExtended& inCommand );
};
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
CarbonApp app;
// Create a new window. A full-fledged application would do this from an AppleEvent handler
// for kAEOpenApplication.
MainWindow::Create();
app.Run();
return 0;
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boolean
CarbonApp::HandleCommand( const HICommandExtended& inCommand )
{
switch ( inCommand.commandID )
{
case kHICommandNew:
MainWindow::Create();
return true;
// Add your own command-handling cases here
default:
return false;
}
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void
MainWindow::Create()
{
MainWindow* wind = new MainWindow();
// Position new windows in a staggered arrangement on the main screen
RepositionWindow( *wind, NULL, kWindowCascadeOnMainScreen );
// The window was created hidden, so show it
wind->Show();
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boolean
MainWindow::HandleCommand( const HICommandExtended& inCommand )
{
switch ( inCommand.commandID )
{
// Add your own command-handling cases here
default:
return false;
}
}
now where the **** am i supposed to start writing code? Also I have no clue about any terminology so speak to me as if im like a 3 year old kid and i might understand you
