Are you developing for a PDA type device running Windows mobile or something? If so the easiest route would be to learn a .NET language (Visual Basic, C#, etc). They have a module in Visual Studio for this type of development.

Besides that there are versions of VB and (C or something) that are solely for PDA use, and have even an emulator.. but they need their runtime environment files to be installed on the PDA.

Don't you need some kind of word database to program a dictionary? Where would you get that? Or are you editing a current one for some reason?

Yes... what kind of code do I need to know to program a word/lexical database? No graphics. Ultimately, to be programmed into a handheld dictionary.

I know of a library that provides an English thesaurus: Aiksaurus. Probably there are some databases of word translators or something like that. Another thing you can do is take a current dictionary like 'aspell' and ported it to work on handheld devices.
