Cried out TGIF once I got off from bed today, glad its finally Friday!
Today was spend on continuing on programming the GUI. Succeeded in adding in buttons and textboxes programmically, and realised something:
To set the location of a control (textbox or button), we must assign a Point object to the Location property of that control. Doing textbox1.Location.X::set(2) will not work. It took me a few tries to realise this.
I was also thankful today as a C++ MVP answered some of my programming problems with references and pointers in the msdn forums. He was so detailed that he even taught me step by step how to solve it, and I was so glad that it worked.
Reflection of the week :
This week saw the end of my previous week project and the start of programming a GUI application in Windows 7, Visual Studio. Although I am familar with the drag and drop, and certain features of CLR, such as the Control class and the Form class, I am still unable to complete an application in a short time due to the language differences.
Each language is unique, and although CLR makes it simpler, and Visual Studio makes coding more enjoyable, it is the core of the language that we must know in order to allow us to finish a great project in that particular language.
