I do not do UI or GUI programming and I was approached with a task. They want me to do it in VB (which is easy but my bosses are taking their sweet time ordering me a copy).....so I want to get a head start and do it in C++. I'm doing this in C++ because I can already predict when I finally get my VB my bosses will want this done in one or two days (happens every time). What I want to do is have a main window then what I plan on doing is having a frame (I call it a frame but basically it'll be a nice little outlined box) and in this box I'll have info, lets say Voltage:,Amperage,RPM:,deltas and maybe a graphic associated with the said box that tells you if it's connected, and I plan on getting data from 25 units (obviously I know that this structred type will be a frame,framename,frame location,volt,amp,rpm,delta,graphicstatepic and I'll just be repeatedly doint his in an array). I just have no idea how to make this array type in c++ windows GUI.I already know I'll be making a user defined type/structure, whatever term you want to use. The problem I'm having is I do not know GUI programming and evidently frame means something else in GUI programming. anyone have a link or can give me the jist of what I need to do? I can do everything else but whenever I put in frame c++ etc. I get something I do not want done. Thanks in advance
