Howdy!
I am a new to these forums and would first like to say hello. Hello.
On with the show. I develop within a cross platform SDK which provides it's own GUI. The OS's I need to support are Mac OS9, OSX, WinNT and XP. The goal is to create an interactive menu system so users can easily navigate hundreds of parameters hierarchially. I have already written the navigation system but it resides within a window that has a titlebar. Within the SDK I am using you cannot create a window without a titlebar or transparent windows. I am currently seeking any books or resources that would assist me in adding these kinds of windows with basic ( very basic ) event loops. In the current incarnation it would require multiple borderless windows for each parameter group ( similiar to the help balloons with limited events ). My problem is that I cannot find a book or resources for assisting the OS specific GUI toolbox illiterate programmer complete these tasks. Any ideas or help?
Best Regards,
