can i use c++ libraries and the compiler to create my own interface?
i just want to use a different gui for it..
a new editor of sorts.if yes then how do i go by it?
thanks..
Writing an entire operating system to generate your own brand of windows would be possible with C++, but it would take extensive knowledge of both how operating systems work as well as how current gui's work, whether written with C, C++ or some other language.
Creating your own text editor that can highlight fragments of text based on certain criteria should also be possible. It would, arguably, be easier than writing your own operating system, but it would still be a prodigious task.
Either project is likely to be done using multiple authors instead of a single individual, but if you've got the time an energy, then it is probably doable. Have I done it, no. Do I think it doable, yes. How would I proceed---by testing/expanding my knowledge base on less strenuous projects first and ask/look for information about how other people/groups may have done the same task before (I'd start by Googling the topics I thought might be helpful).
@lerner
well is it that difficult to proceed as you mention?
all i want is a windowed editor,you can call it a "front end" of sorts..
all the background processes proceed just as the turboc++ but the only difference is i have a better looking place to write c++ code.
