We offer our Basis-workspace for Visual C++ users for further development of their own products. The workspace requires Visual Studio 2008 upwards and contains all source files for compiling a basis program for Windows and for Windows CE / PocketPC. The resulting basis program consist of a window with a menu and popup-menu, a modeless property sheet with three dialog pages and different backgrounds. The user-surface and the HTML-Help text is selectable from the help-menu for German and English. All procedures of the basis project are in the source well explained. In addition the procedure parameters are specified as interfaces in a Word-file. A PowerPoint diagram is for the project overview. The required conversion into your own project is described step by step. The jk-ware DirectX-Library 2.0 with procedures for use of DirectSound and DirectDraw is integrated into the workspace. Notice: all documents of the Basisworkspace are in German language !
