Window creation

Display a GUI window. The window need not have any contents, but should respond to requests to be closed.

Compile command: gcc -I /usr/include/ -lglut -o window window_glut.c

Note that we aren't registering a painting or drawing callback, so the window will be created with nothing drawn in it. This is almost certain to lead to a strange appearance; On many systems, dragging the window around will appear to drag a copy of what was underneath where the window was when it was originally created.

We are registering a keypress callback, which isn't strictly necessary; It simply allows us to use a keypress to close the program rather than depending on the windowing system the program is run under.

// A C+GLUT implementation of the Creating a Window task at Rosetta Code
// http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Creating_a_Window
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <GL/glut.h>

// This function is not strictly necessary to meet the requirements of the task.
void onKeyPress(unsigned char key, int x, int y)
{
	// If you have any cleanup or such, you need to use C's
	// onexit routine for registering cleanup callbacks.
	exit(0);

}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	// Pulls out any command-line arguments that are specific to GLUT,
	// And leaves a command-line argument set without any of those arguments
	// when it returns.
	// (If you want a copy, take a copy first.)
	glutInit(&argc, argv);

	// Tell GLUT we want to create a window.
	// It won't *actually* be created until we call glutMainLoop below.
	glutCreateWindow("Goodbye, World!");

	// Register a callback to handle key press events (so we can quit on
	// when someone hits a key)  This part is not necessary to meet the
	// requirements of the task.
	glutKeyboardFunc(&onKeyPress);

	// Put the execution of the app in glut's hands. Most GUI environments
	// involve a message loop that communicate window events. GLUT handles
	// most of these with defaults, except for any we register callbacks
	// for. (Like the onKeyPress above.)
	glutMainLoop();

Common Lisp

Library: CAPI

Works with: LispWorks

(capi:display (make-instance 'capi:interface :title "A Window"))

Library: CLIM

Works with: McCLIM

Setting up the environment:

(require :mcclim)
(cl:defpackage #:rc-window
  (:use #:clim-lisp #:clim))
(cl:in-package #:rc-window)

The actual definition and display:

(define-application-frame rc-window () 
  ()
  (:layouts (:default)))

(run-frame-top-level (make-application-frame 'rc-window))

Note: This creates a small, useless window ("frame"). Useful frames will have some panes defined inside them.

Delphi

This first example is a minimalist approach using Delphi's standard Window (form) creation procedure. In Delphi 7, this will create a single Window executable of 362KB.

// The project file (Project1.dpr)
program Project1;

uses
  Forms,
  // Include file with Window class declaration (see below)
  Unit0 in 'Unit1.pas' {Form1};

{$R *.res}

begin
  Application.Initialize;
  Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
  Application.Run;
end.


// The Window class declaration
unit Unit1;

interface

uses
  Forms;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.dfm} // The window definition resource (see below)

end.

// A textual rendition of the Window (form) definition file (Unit1.dfm)
object Form1: TForm1
  Left = 469
  Top = 142
  Width = 800
  Height = 600
  Caption = 'Form1'
  Color = clBtnFace
  Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
  Font.Color = clWindowText
  Font.Height = -11
  Font.Name = 'MS Shell Dlg 2'
  Font.Style = []
  OldCreateOrder = False
  Position = poScreenCenter
  PixelsPerInch = 96
  TextHeight = 13
end

This second example demonstrates a 'pure' Windows API approach (i.e. NOT using the Delphi Visual Component Library). In Delphi 7, this will create a single Window executable of 15KB.

Haskell

Using

Library: HGL

from HackageDB.

A simple graphics library, designed to give the programmer access to most interesting parts of the Win32 Graphics Device Interface and X11 library without exposing the programmer to the pain and anguish usually associated with using these interfaces.

import Graphics.HGL

aWindow =  runGraphics $
  withWindow_ "Rosetta Code task: Creating a window" (300, 200) $ \ w -> do
	drawInWindow w $ text (100, 100) "Hello World"
	getKey w

WINDOW(WINdowhandle=handle, Width=80, Height=-400, X=1, Y=1/2, TItle="Rosetta Window_creation Example")
! window units: as pixels < 0,  as relative window size 0...1,  ascurrent character sizes > 1

WRITE(WINdowhandle=handle) '... some output ...'

Icon and Unicon

Icon and Unicon windowing is portable between Windows and X-Windows environments.

Icon

link graphics 

procedure main(arglist)

WOpen("size=300, 300", "fg=blue", "bg=light gray")
WDone()
end

Library: Icon Programming Library

graphics is required

Unicon

The Icon solution works in Unicon. An Unicon-only version is as follows:

import gui
$include "guih.icn"

class WindowApp : Dialog ()

  # -- automatically called when the dialog is created
  method component_setup ()
    # make sure we respond to close event
    connect(self, "dispose", CLOSE_BUTTON_EVENT)
  end
end

# create and show the window
procedure main ()
  w := WindowApp ()
  w.show_modal ()
end

J

A minimalist modal dialog:

   wdinfo 'Hamlet';'To be, or not to be: that is the question:'

M2000 Interpreter

Window has title by default the name of variable, here MyForm Window by default has 6000 twips width by 4000 twips height

Here we open MyForm as modal window (with 1 as first parameter, after "Show")

Window show a square in left side of title (we can change this to be at right), so this close the window (if we have proper event function, we can quit the closing). Also using key combination Alt-F4 close window too (also send event).

Window open in the monitor where we see the mouse pointer.

M2000 Windows have own decoration, independent from platform (same to Xp, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Linux using Wine).

Tcl

Library: Tk

Loading the Tk package is all that is required to get an initial window:

package require Tk

If you need an additional window:

toplevel .top

If you are using the increasingly popular tclkit under MS Windows, all you have to do is associate the tclkit with the extension “.tcl” and then create an empty file with, e.g., with the name nothing.tcl. Double-clicking that will “open a window” (an empty one).

TXR

TXR has no library module for connecting to SDL, X11's Xlib, or GTK2.

All of these examples are completely self-contained, using the FFI capability in TXR, which can bind to any library whose interface is defined in terms of C functions and types.

No C header file is processed, and not a single line of C has to be compiled.

SDL

Translation of: C

A wait for a SDL key-up event is added, missing in the C version, so that the window does not just appear and disappear.

Note that SDL's header file uses a enum for the event constants like SDL_KEYUP. But then in union SD_Event, the event field declared as UInt8. (That's how it appears on my Ubuntu system; newer versions of SDL seems to have switched the type field, and other fields of the event structures, to UInt32.)

Here, we exploit TXR's capability to define enumerations of specific types: we make the event enumeration based on uint8, giving it a typedef name, and then use that typedef in the SD_Event union.

(defvarl SDL_INIT_VIDEO #x00000020)
(defvarl SDL_SWSURFACE #x00000000)
(defvarl SDL_HWPALETTE #x20000000)

(typedef SDL_Surface (cptr SDL_Surface))

(typedef SDL_EventType (enumed uint8 SDL_EventType
                          (SDL_KEYUP 3)
                          (SDL_QUIT 12)))

(typedef SDL_Event (union SD_Event
                     (type SDL_EventType)
		     (pad (array 8 uint32))))

  (deffi SDL_GetError "SDL_GetError" str ())
  (deffi SDL_WaitEvent "SDL_WaitEvent" int ((ptr-out SDL_Event)))
  (deffi SDL_Quit "SDL_Quit" void ()))

(when (neql 0 (SDL_Init SDL_INIT_VIDEO))
  (put-string `unable to initialize SDL: @(SDL_GetError)`)
  (exit nil))

(unwind-protect
  (progn
    (SDL_SetVideoMode 800 600 16 (logior SDL_SWSURFACE SDL_HWPALETTE))
    (let ((e (make-union (ffi SDL_Event))))
      (until* (memql (union-get e 'type) '(SDL_KEYUP SDL_QUIT))

X11

Translation of: C

One difference between the C original and this one is that the XLib macros for direct structure access, like DefaultGC, DefaultScreen or WhitePixel are not used; rather the correspoding C functions are used via FFI: XDefaultScreen and so on. The macro approach can be mimiced in detail, at the cost of a significant increase in verbosity (cloning the full declaration of the _XDisplay struct declaration, and reproducing the macros).

Also, this uses an enumeration for the events, so when the event type is decoded from the XEvent union, it comes out as a Lisp symbol.

(typedef XID uint32)

(typedef Window XID)

Win32/Win64

This solution is based on the "Your First Windows Program" example in MSDN. It registers a Window class, creates a Window and runs a Windows message loop against a custom WndProc function that is written in Lisp, which handles WM_QUIT and WM_PAINT events exactly like its C counterpart. All necessary basic types, structures, constants and foreign functions are declared using the TXR FFI language.

Note that the CW_USEDEFAULT constant in the Windows header files is defined as 0x80000000. This is out of range of the signed int arguments of CreateWindowEx with which it is used. Microsoft is relying on an implementation-defined C conversion to turn this value into the most negative int. When the original constant was used in the TXR translation, TXR's FFI uncovered this little problem by throwing an exception arising from the out-of-range conversion attempt. The fix is to specify the correct value directly as #x-80000000.

Vedit macro language

Creates an empty window with ID 'A' near the upper left corner of document area, with height of 20 text lines and width of 80 characters.

Win_Create(A, 2, 5, 20, 80)

Note: if you run this command while in Visual Mode, you should adjust your active window smaller so that the created window will not be hidden behind it (since the active window is always on top).

Visual Basic .NET

    Dim newForm as new Form
    newForm.Text = "It's a new window"
   
        newForm.Show()
