We have learned about Code:Blocks and app development for Windows in previous chapters. In this chapter we will use this knowledge and develop an app from scratch as an exercise. We will first take a look at the final app and then develop it from ground up. We will use the tools we learned in the previous chapters, which you can refer as you need.
We will develop an image viewer app as an exercise in this chapter. Our image viewer app shall have the following features:
.jpeg
, .png
, and .bmp
filesOur app shall look like the following screenshot. The following screenshot shows our image viewer app has opened the Koala.jpg
file (part of Windows 7 standard wallpaper set) with a zoom level set at 60 percent.
Looks interesting, doesn't it? Let us begin our exercise and solve it. We'll do it in two steps.
