Does Lite-C have a Gui Builder/Designer IDE - 05/09/12 17:41

Greetings from Newbie to Lite-C,
Windows7:
Does Lite-C have a Gui Builder/Designer IDE.
Or will I have to code CreateWindowEx APIs for each visible Control
(Window, button, editBox, etc...)?
Thanks...Vernon

if you want to use APIs, you need to write them all by your own.

If you want to create simple buttons and inlineframes (windows) inside the hwnd, you can use PANELs, and their button, window and digit functions laugh

Hmm...
Interesting.
I notice that the colors are dark.
How many colors (per screen) are we limited to?

Also, how large are these files? :
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
I am wondering about distribution,
how large the distro (*.zip) have to be.

Thanks...Vernon

You're not limited to any number of colors. You can use 24 or 32 bit images. achnex.h and default.c are ridiculously small. Some kilobytes. The size of your published game depends on the resources you use, i.e. models, levels, sounds and textures.

If you want to use LBGUI, Recall: Your Loading time will increase dramatical.
