Hello, need a helping hand [message #26830]

Hi folks

I'm an absolute newbie to C++ coding and UPP. I code in C and VB6. I stumbled upon UPP a few days back and find it really interesting; however, my lack of knowledge about C++ and UPP is only making it difficult to cross the initial barriers.

I have worked with the examples and am able to run almost all of them. There are some that I cannot understand that report errors(in the uppsrc directory). I work on a WinXP machine.

Right now, I am able to create the example code called shopping list I found on the www. This was a very nice example to learn UPP. However, the next step has frustrated me and I will like a helping hand if anyone can.

On the layout, I wish to place a slider control visually (if that is possible) and link it to a text label that will show the value of the slider. I am able to place the static text label & name it. But, how do I place the slider? I suspect it has to be done in code. Being a total newbie in UPP and a total zero in C++ means a double whammy and I'm stuck. I want to migrate away from VB6 and come to UPP.

I intend to add new controls and eventually graduate to creating a simple RS232 terminal for my own use while 'learning the ropes'

Can anyone guide me gently please ?

I will appreciate links too if this is something I missed here.

Thanks
