Hello everyone! I'm new to this website. I decided to look into a programming community's input for my idea. I need some elaboration on all of it though, so I would appreciate input and experience advice. By the way, my name is Natsuki as the username intends! And I am a Japanese lady.
I am well-taught in C++ so I don't think most concepts would be hard for me to use, all though I do not plan on anything too terribly difficult.
The Basic design is it would use some sort of GTK(I think officially it is called GTK+) on the Windows platform, develop a regular, somewhat basic looking text editor, which can have custom plugins for it that, when activated, allow for certain syntax highlighting to be accepted! If any of you have heard of Notepad++ I am sure you have, it is about what I want to make, only in a less complicated manner.. Using Visual C++ and GTK if I can?
I am not entirely sure if some of this would be possible, as far as like, for example.. maybe just plugins that anyone (and myself) can design to have been activated in the editor itself and deactivated if not wanting to be used..
And the GTK+ deal, I am not sure about GTK, but my friend suggested to use it instead of C++ built in GUI because GUI programming is very difficult without some sort of base other than the original C++ Windows GUI based stuff.. I have never done GUI programming, so perhaps a professional opinion would be useful to me!
Please post thoughtfully! And thank you very much!
P.S.;
I'm sorry! I did not notice the Managed C++ category, I am not sure if this belongs there or not though.. a moderator can make that decision! Pardon me...
