um, I have no idea what half of the last message said, but... You don't need to write a wrapper for your .net apps to use the API, it can access dlls easily enough. If you use a cross-platform library, your code can be ported across other platforms

the question is, what kind of business do you want to develop.Because if you want to do programs which must use a lot of operating system features, the c/c++ language is the best direction.is the most apropiate for interacting with win32.Also, dotnet framework, is mainly a wrapper for win32. Dotnet even offer the posibility to access win32 calls via com or platform invoke. Also in dotnet framework you can use c/c++ language and using this language offers you direct access to win32 functions.the way people use win32 in dotnet is: 1. write a managed c++ wraper for the functions you want.2. use c# or vb dotnet (what you prefer) for write the rest of the program.Java is not a good choice for writing operating system oriented software, because it loose with this the best feature of java namely the platform independence. But for completness I will mention that java has a posibility to call shared libraries functions via so-called native interface.But using this, you link your soft together with operating system.For making after your soft to run on another operating system you must develop another wrapper for that operating system and so forth.I am realy confused way supernova/haln doesn't work with dotnet programs, because, how I said, dotnet is mainly a wrapper for win32 appii.----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 12:10 AM Subject: Re: direction to take in creating new programs?I'd like to learn Win32 but so far you seem to be expected to do a lot of hand coding.-- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266----- Original Message ----- From: "Arthur Pirika" <a_pirika@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 9:57 PM Subject: direction to take in creating new programs?Hi all, I'm knew to the list, but take quite an interest in programming, particularlly for windows, using a gui interface. HOwever, I have a couple of questions.1. What happen to the fruit basket demo project? Is it still somewhere on the web? 2. Is it still advised, or advantagious to program in the win32 API? Most docs these days seem to indicate using windos forms, and it appears that in my tests, supernova/hal from dolphin doesn't like this environment. 3. Out of lua, python and ruby, what language provides good access to windosfeatures, such as gui interface, comm automation, etc? Maybe java?Thanks for any help that you can offer, Arthur. __________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
