Re: TextPad Language?
Looks to me it is not Java
Not because it is an exe - it is possible to make exe from java classes but because
a) if it were Java, there would be versions for other OS as well
b) the GUI is not Javalike...
c) Textpad existed long before the Java Hype...
My guess would be C++, but only the people at helios can say for sure.
Could be any other compiled language as well, but some of the Strings in the exe (e.g. CWnd, CListBox, and many other MFC class names, AfxOldWndProc...) lead me to believe it is C++
If you really need to know, ask the helios people.
