Why not? DevGuide will not do everything, but you will get up to speed much faster. For putting together standard dialog boxes and the like, DevGuide is real handy. If you have found some specific problems, please explain!

Using XView from C++ does not turn XView into a C++ class hierarchy, i.e. you cannot use C++ inheritance on XView "objects". XView can be used from either C or C++ - there's not much difference. Select the language that otherwise best matches your needs. /Lars -- Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk | Beauty is a French phonetic corruption CS Dept., Univ. of Aalborg, DENMARK. | - FZ
