Rex, the following is not exactly an answer to all your points,
but concerning "burn up all my time for the GUI", try this out:
MODULE TstAdd;
IMPORT Dialog;
VAR a*, b*, result* : INTEGER;
PROCEDURE Do*;
BEGIN result := a+b; Dialog.UpdateInt (result)
END Do;
END TstAdd.
Instructions:
1. Copy the module text to a fresh BB window.
2. Hit CTRL-K. Answer OK to two questions that will appear.
3. Execute Controls->New form...
4. Type TstAdd into the text box, hit OK.
5. A new window shall appear titled (Tst)Add.
6. Pull down the Dev menu, scroll to "Mask mode"
(holding down the mouse key) and release the key.
You shall have a fully working GUI without burning much time.
The functionality of the code is pretty limited, but this
is to be expected in any super-short demo. But at least
this will demonstrate that you do not have to "burn much time"
with creating Windows GUIs.
Hope this answers at least one of your reservations.
