The ACUCOBOL-GT release materials include many sample programs and their source code. Many of these programs demonstrate ACUCOBOL-GT's GUI capabilities. We recommend that you study the source code for these programs to gain a better understanding of how ACUCOBOL-GT GUI objects are programmed. You will find these programs and their source code in the "sample" subdirectory of your ACUCOBOL-GT installation.
Included among the sample programs is a program called message. This program provides basic message-box support on any host. The message program calls the host operating system's message box handler when one is available. Otherwise the runtime provides a simulated, character-based message box. See the comments in the program source for additional details.
Another sample program, NTSAcuSv, demonstrates the event-driven model for users of AcuServer on Windows NT/2000.
