AdeptWin32Examples

Window's GUI Examples in Adept

How to compile

Make sure that your Adept compiler supports version 2.8
Navigate into one of the example projects
Run adept to compile (or adept --windows if cross-compiling)
Optionally, you can use the -e flag to immediately run the resulting executable
If you have multiple versions of Adept installed, you can use adept2-8 or adept-nightly to specifically use the 2.8 compiler

cd modern\button
adept -e

Overview

This repo contains several small example Win32 applications written in Adept.

No official win32 bindings exist yet, so all of the necessary Windows declarations are inside windows.adept and all required native libraries are in the __libs__ directory.

For heavily commented code, see modern/all_use. It covers everything used in this repo. All other files only have occasional comments, as they assume you already know how to use the Win32 API.
