    Hi,

    I'm new to MUI and Amiga development in general. Can anybody give me a pointer on how to use a .mcc file in my GCC based MUI project? I used the show/hide example from MorphOS examples folder as starting point for building my MUI GUI. I want to add the scintilla.mcc class. How do i do this..?

    Thanks,

    Bastiaan

    You simply don´t!

    Just include the related header file.

    If you want to include an MUI object inside your GUI, etc a lamp object, you just

    #include <mui/Lamp_mcc.h>

    And now you can use the macro

    WindowObject, ....
    Child, LampObject, End,
    End;

    Same goes for all external classes.

    You can do this as well if you don't like the macro way

    Object *obj = MUI_NewObject("classname.mcc", MUIA_Foobar, value, ...,TAG_DONE);

    Thanks bigtime guys, this amiga programming is just so different then anything ive done before. So far i managed to include the Scintilla header file into my project. The project compiles.. so thats good. But know i'm stuck on creating the actual control in the GUI.

    I have:

    Child, VGroup,
    Child, scintilla = Scintilla(); // <-- something wrong here..
    Child, VSpace(0),
    End,
    End,

    I analyzed the header file, but can't make up the actual name of the control's constructor. Does anybody know if there's any documentation of example online of using the Scintilla.mcc class?

    Thanks.

    This is the entry to beginning:


    Child, VGroup,
    Child, scintilla = MUI_NewObject("Scintilla.mcc",TAG_DONE),
    Child, VSpace(o),
    End,
    End,


    Every extern MUI-Class must add with above code or with a macro in your custom source.

    While not directly answering your question, reading MUI chapter of this document will give you some background.

    @Bastiaan : important thing to know. Everything you allocated (memory, port, whatever) shall be *explicitly* released when exiting. There is no resource tracking at all.

    Everything you forgot to release is definitly *lost* (you could remove stuff in system struct afterward, but well, that's a call for disaster).

    Function that returns something and has FreeFunctionName counterpart must work in pair.

    Do not forget to release Lock()ed file either. Upon program exit, the operating system will not unlock the file for you.

    Programming AmigaOS operating system is like dancing on eggs. :)

    If in doubt how to realize software for MorphOS you can buy this visual development tool:

    Hollywood

    You realize your software in Hollywood and then with a touch of the mouse, Hollywood will output executable code for all these platforms

    AmigaOS 4 (ppc)
    Android (arm)
    AROS (i386)
