Text Editor in C
Hi everyone!
I am trying to start a text editor with "Bloodshed Dev-C++" in C language. It should be able to:
--start by presenting a blank screen with a status line at the bottom of it
--write the text filename on the status bar and save the text into a new document
--open and save text files with CTRL+O and CTRL+S key combinations
--move the cursor up, down, left right by pressing the appropriate key. Enter goes to new line (if available)
--clear any text already written by pressing CTRL-N
Any ideas, links or whatever you think would help me, will be higly appreciated. Thank you!!!

1) Don't use Bloodshed Dev-C++. That product hasn't been supported for a number of years now. Use wxDev-C++ (or wxDev-Cpp it maybe called). This will also provide you with the ability to build GUI forms for wxWidgets
2) Pick a good GUI toolkit to use. wxDevC++ is built around wxWidgets. But there is also QT, GTK and many others you could pick.

Not really. Depending on the GUI Toolkit you pick they each have their own style of building and working with the UI :) wxWidgets is a fairly good one to start with.
