Hi, I am really new to programming using keil. I wanted to create a windows form kind of application which takes some parameters from a user and then runs the C code present in the file based on the inputs.
I have the C code files with me, but i am not able to set up a user interface (the form).
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks and Regards, Siddharth Gupta
"It might be that the guy needs the 8051 to run the menu system through an RS232 (a serial port), and have Windows running Hyperterminal"
Well, what he actually said was,
"My aim here is to build a software which sends commands to the 8051 controller"
and
"i want to create a form which can be used to change some parameters before i send commands to the device"
(my emphases)
And he called it "Windows forms" - which is a type of windows application.
But you are right, the 8051 could be used to generate a crude form using escape-sequences to program a terminal - like we used to do on VT100-style terminals before the days of real GUIs...
Maybe he wants that "retro" look...?
More likely he wanted to interface a PC into the 8051 device and hadn't considered the physical interface (IE to him that's trivial), being focused on the ginger bread (the UI instead of how to get data to the device).
Having done the serial UI before one can do a fair bit with it, but alas that uses up lots of code space in the device. I tend to use some sort of protocol that facilitates proper information exchange.
This is however all speculation at the moment.

Tamir,
I have a few picture that are 'cool' and even some videos that are also 'cool'... So is it an easy endeavor to post some of those pics or not? (I only use a PC for cross-compiling, so I am a bit naive about "The Tool's Platform." Any non-real time OS is something I don't bother with. Hence my ignorance of Microsoft 'form' tools.
erik rightfully points out that we don't know the OP's position/question. ",Nobody knows what the question is"
Thank you in advance, and I need the info immediately because we're supposed to hand in our exam papers within the next fifteen minutes !
