hey guys,i need coding of text editor...i.e notepad type application...can anyone create this using only C not C++....if anyone knows plz post it i really need it
creating GUI apps in C++ is a normal thing, but in C is difficult. But u can use GTK to create texteditor. Also google it u will surely find someting interesting.
guys understand my problem...i have to submit it by 27th nd if i was expected to fing it on google...why wud i prefer querrying here
AFAIK turbo c 3.0 (dinosaur version) does not support windows programming using its default library headers

i once made one dos-based text editor with feature of just creating text files. i wont give away the code but i can give u the idea.
use getch()(assuming that u are using turbo ) to input each character.(to also input carriage return and backspace).
declare a string where the text data is stored.
after each keypress, process the input and do the appropriate actions.
eg. when a backspace is inputted, delete the last character of the string.
add a newline when a carriage return is inputted.
it is easy but may be long.
all the best
