Use QuickWin

The QuickWin* library helps you give traditional console-oriented Fortran programs a Windows* look and feel, with a scrollable window and a menu bar. Though the full capability of Windows is not available through QuickWin, QuickWin is simpler to learn and to use. QuickWin applications support pixel-based graphics, real-coordinate graphics, text windows, character fonts, user-defined menus, mouse events, and editing (select/copy/paste) of text, graphics, or both.

You can use the QuickWin library to do the following:

  • Compile console programs into simple applications for Windows.

  • Minimize and maximize QuickWin applications like any Windows-based application.

  • Call graphics routines.

  • Load and save bitmaps.

  • Select, copy and paste text, graphics, or a mix of both.

  • Detect and respond to mouse clicks.

  • Display graphics output.

  • Alter the default application menus or add programmable menus.

  • Create custom icons.

  • Open multiple child windows.

In Intel Fortran, graphics programs must be either Fortran QuickWin, Fortran Standard Graphics, Fortran Windows, or use OpenGL* routines. Fortran Standard Graphics Applications are a subset of QuickWin that support only one window.

You can choose the Fortran QuickWin or Standard Graphics application type from the list of available project types when you create a new project in the visual development environment. Or you can use the /libs:qwin compiler option for Fortran QuickWin or the /libs:qwins compiler option for Fortran Standard Graphics.

NOTE:
Fortran QuickWin and Standard Graphics applications cannot be DLLs, and QuickWin and Standard Graphics cannot be linked with run-time routines that are in DLLs. This means that the /libs:qwin option and the /libs:dll with /threads options cannot be used together.

You can access the QuickWin routines library from Intel Fortran as well as other languages that support the Fortran calling conventions.

A program using the QuickWin routines must explicitly access the QuickWin graphics library routines with the statement USE IFQWIN (see USE Statement Needed for Fortran QuickWin Applications).
