Hi, Do you know any good tutorials about GUI Programming, specially about working with (and picking) shapes and objects in a program? As an example, consider a paint program as Corel where you can pick a line and move it from one place to another.. Thansk in advance, Andre "- To begin with, said the Cat, a dog''s not mad. You grant that? - I suppose so, said Alice. - Well, then, - the Cat went on - you see, a dog growls when it''s angry, and wags its tail when it''s pleased. Now I growl when I''m pleased, and wag my tail when I''m angry. Therefore I''m mad."

anyone?

With due respect Andre, your question is a bit too broad to expect a good response. How about some background info?

Fill in the blanks:

OS:
GDI, O_GL, DX:
2D viewport, 3D viewport:
Windowed App, FullScreen App:
Programming Language:

Sir Isaac Newton

Take for example a paint program (windowed app, gui based) that you could draw some primitives (lines, rects, circles). But, after you draw it, you could left click on it and drag it to another place, resize the line, etc... like when you insert a picture or an autoform in microsoft word, or when you draw in corel.

As for the programming language, C++ or pascal would be a must...

Thanks a lot...

actually, what I am looking for is something like that:

"Like Project 2, a shape can be drawn by selecting a shape tool and dragging the mouse across the screen, using rubber-band drawing to display it as it is being drawn. Unlike Project 2, once a shape has been drawn it may be modified. In particular, it may be moved by grabbing and dragging it with the middle mouse button, it''s color attributes may be changed or it can be deleted. Any shape may be selected by picking it with the left mouse button. Selected shapes are highlighted by displaying their control points, which are small black squares located at the four corners of the shape''s bounding box."

I would like to use this kind of approach on my map editors...

any tutorials, help?

Thanks

Andre
