Hi all. My name is Victor and this is my blog :) Here I am sharing the process of creating my application. I use the following tools: Visual Studio 2022, MSVC Compiler, WinApi, C++, DirectX12

Hi all.

Today I want to share the result of many days of work.

I finished making a character input field for my application. And although some text editing capabilities are not available, the required minimum is present.

The following text editing options are currently available:

Typing.

Deleting characters using the backspace key.

Moving the carriage between characters.

Selecting characters using the Shift key.

Copying, cutting, pasting characters using the keys Control + C, Control + X and Control + V. Using the clipboard.

The next thing I want to do is read some books about C++. And then continue working on the project.

Hello!

I started making a field for entering characters.

And at the moment there is already a designed input window, as well as the ability to enter various characters and delete them.

I also drew a carriage, but for now it is just there but does nothing.

Hey everyone.

This time the application received the following updates:

Added minimize, maximize/restore and close buttons to the upper right corner.

A menu appeared in the main window with two items “Help” and “Create”.

Created windows that open when you click on the menu buttons in the main window.

And finally, I placed the icon in the upper left corner.

The next thing I need to do is an input field for strings and numbers.

In this version I made the main window with the popup style.

The window itself is drawn on a transparent background with rounded corners, and also has a shadow with rounded corners.

Also, some of the basic capabilities of a regular window, such as scaling or dragging, have been recreated for the window.

The main changes in this version are that the windows created are original, separate objects.

For example, if you open one window, then when you call the same window again, it will simply be updated, but not created again.

Hi all. I present my first version of the application.

What can the application do?

1. Scale and move the work area.

2. Create a polygon (only manually, by changing the code).

3. Has a "About" window with a non-standard button.
