I guess the commands beginning with "m_" are defined somewhere? Where?

i´ll install it in the evening...

...i don´t realy know what you mean with plain text...do you want to input a text somewhere? In an button or element?

No button, just regular text. Like when you go to Settings > About > Legal.

i can´t help you now...sorry...but try using a label...insert it in the app....then make something like...label.setText("xyz"); maybe it works

is a caption enough?

followers+=1

int followers = 0; //Don´t forget that

Do it the C++ way...
followers++;

This things with m_ or most likly no commands. These are variables and the m_ is added so show that it is a member variable. This means this belongs to a class.
You cant write plain text. You need to create and insert a label object first and then set text.
Count me to helpers

int helpers;
helpers+=2; //crimson and me lol
Or really geek way (and to show what a member variable is

Code:

enum E_Role
{
    learner = 0,
    helper
};

class cForumMembers
{
    std::string m_Name;
    E_Role m_Role;
public:
    cForumMembers(std::string xName)
    {
        this->m_Name = xName;
    }
};

class cLearner : public ForumMembers
{
public:
    cLearner(std::string xName) 
    : cForumMembers(xName)
    {
        this->m_Role = learner;
    }     

};

class cHelper : public ForumMembers
{
public:
    cHelper(std::string xName) 
    : cForumMembers(xName)
    {
        this->m_Role = helper;
    }     

};


int main()
{
    std::vector<cForumMembers> vPeople;

    vPeople.push_back(new cLearner("Error"));
    vPeople.push_back(new cHelper("Crimson"));
    vPeople.push_back(new cHelper("r3wDy"));
    
}

use UiCaption, like crimson05 said above.

1. declare a memeber in header file

Code:

UiCaption m_text;

2. in the implementation cpp file. in method, OnInitDialog,

Code:

m_text.SetPos(10, 10, GetWidth(), MZM_HEIGHT_CAPTION); // to whereever you like, MZM_HEIGHT_CAPTION is a predefined value in SDK
m_text.SetTextColor(RGB(128, 20, 55)); // the text colour for whatever you like
m_text.SetText(_T("This is a demo"));
AddUiWin(&m_text);

the code above should work, but i haven't tested it

@Err0r:

For the case You need it - if You try to create an edit Field (UiEdit), don't declare it as a pointer like it is wirtten in an example in the SDK documentation:

Code:

UiEdit* m_edit;

Visual Studio will say that You have to use a -> to access a class structure (which is totally right). The problem is, that the application crashes when trying to add this class to its parent:

Code:

AddUiWin(&m_edit);

Instead, declare UiEdit as any other UI-component (without *).

Maybe Visual Studio won't agree with that and won't show it's Intelli-Sense feature, but on the M8 it will work fine.

PS: If You are looking for more code examples, try Google Code Search.

AddUiWin(&m_edit);

This must crash ur application. Cause adding * you create a pointer, and callind addwin this way gives the adress of the pointer to the function (a pointer to a pointer).
Just call
AddUiWin(m_edit);
if m_edit is already a pointer

But anyway this is just geeking around we will confuse error more than we help

Exactly. I just want to share this information with you because in one (the only one) example in the SDK documentation is imho wrong, because there it's initialized as a pointer (since there are many people just learning the SDK out of code examples)

Currently I'm stuck in setting an align to a UiStatic class. All my text fields come with centered text. Any suggestions?

Another thing. How do you create an image that covers the entire background? SetPos(0,0,...) still creates some space above and to the left of the image.

try 18_uisetpassdown example ...this should help

I've decided for my first app to be a fart app. It will contain functions such as fart selection, timed farts and fart recording.

I've attached version 0.1, and a lot of code is borrowed from crimson05's SoundBox app.

To try it out, make a folder and extract to: \\Disk\Programs\FartBot\

What a funny idea - congrats !!!
