Windows Text Editor

Getting the hang of programming :D

Here is a screenshot.

No offence, but this isn't exactly show off material at all. Everyone does a notepad text editor on their first go. Why in hell do you think that it's /good enough/ to show off? No, it's not.

There's also no scroll bar making it HORRIBLE to use. What makes this different from Windows Text Editor besides the badly placed GUI and the slow transparent window when moving?

Make something that's decent and worth showing off that isn't your FIRST EVER PROGRAM!
Also this is not exactly programming, it's just adding in pre-made controls to a pre-made form and then using a pre-made api to load text into a textbox.

Sorry it's the truth <3
Good luck with future projects.
x0x0, Captain Wabbit girl.

I don't… wh- what did you...?

[deathtaker26]

If it's you're first program, it's a start I. Nothing to bad about showing off you're first work.

[seanmungo]

I Agree with Crest. Even if it wasnt "Fully" made by you (as Wabbit said with the pre-made buttons.)
Its still better then anything i could make at this point. =).

So good job to you xD

Just because you can't make it doesn't mean its good.

Step 1\. Drag n' drop rich textbox onto design form.
Step 2\. Add a menu strip object to the form with a basic file button, allowing for opening, closing, and saving of text files.
Step 3\. ???
Step 4\. Profit.

MrMiguu:

Step 3:…. Umm what's an StreamReader?
than continue to step 4 XD

[mrmiguu]

@Crest:

> Umm what's an StreamReader?


It reads small streams, ofc.

[evilbunnie]

Showing off your first ever program is good? No, get the fuck out Crest. We don't want our Show off board riddled with nothing to show off. Hey look I made my first program! Oh man we must as well just make a board like "introduction" board, so everyone can show off their first program!

I love the hypocrisy in the majority of these replies.
At least I am attempting to make my own programs. Most of you duckers are using a 'Pre-made' as Wabbit mentioned, game engine, with 'Pre-made' controls, and a 'Pre-made' server. Yet your critizing me for using an API. It wasn't all drag and drop, there is coding work, it's not just a form. Oh, and Wabbit, just because you can program in VB6, don't consider yourself an all knowing programming expert. I know server sided web languages such as PHP and my development portfolio is far more impressive than yours will ever be, so shut the duck up and stop critizing someone for attempting something new and then asking for feedback. The way I see it, you're a Robin wanna be, with Robins attitude, but you lack Robins skill.

I think I've made by point.
kthnxbai trolls.

The funny thing is bro, I make around $1.5k every two weeks from being a programming freelancer. At the moment I'm working on project with a custom engine in C++ with OpenGL with Azure and Toranos. I love it how you say you use PHP, which is in fact a SCRIPTING LANGUAGE. The jokes on you bro. If you can't just easily jump into a .NET language and make something bigger than a textbox and a file loader with your "impressive" portfolio, you're obviously making a ducking fool of yourself, .NET was made to make everything "easier" with it's giant library of pre-made API's. Ignorance. Lack Robin's skill? Oh you're the most worthy of that judgement.

So I'm not aloud to point out that it's stupid to post your first ever program on a show-off board, because I have the same opinion as Robin when it comes to new-comers posting their first program? Grow up. He's not the only person in the world with a cynical ducking attitude.

Your point isn't proven at all, your whole argument is based on a personal attack at me, when you clearly have no ducking clue what I know, or do.

tl;dr get ducked

Ahaha. +1 to you. Don't you find it hilarious when someone learns something and then suddenly talks down to others about it?

PM me some time and we can go through his old posts together and look at what _he_ thought would be appropriate to release on here when he first started. ;]

I didn't release them in the show off board, they weren't notepads. I never said that he can't post useless tutorials that resets the engine through a command(my first ever tutorial), in the source board.

Do it bro, dignity still here.

edit: Back from my ban, sorry Master Robin, I will never be bad on this forums again :(

Come onto a website for an mmorpg engine Oh, and everyone who criticized you actually _doesn't_ use the engine.

[mrmiguu]

If you required code to make the program work, you are working too much to show off a simple text editor. Drag n' drop is most what should be required.

Ofc there is code in the background, it's just generated.

[darkserver]

next you should make a program like microsoft exel that will be cool

[mrmiguu]

I have nothing against others making programs for their own educational purposes; it's when they show them off and make it seem like the thing they made is something out-of-the-ordinary.

You should save your reputation for works that you've been going at hard for some time.
